A Better Way to Start Your Day (2)

This may seem obvious, but a good breakfast can make your day. As your mother said, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body is out of fuel by morning. You need some to help you control your blood sugar. That affects your mood and energy level for the day.

Don't watch TV or read a newspaper first thing in the morning. Your brain is fresh and ready to work on new things. Don't fill it up with negative information about the world and its problems.

Instead, read something inspiring or uplifting. This will give you positive thoughts to start your day.

Avoid answering email first thing. Use that precious morning time to get some exercise, eat breakfast and enjoy life. Check email last before you leave your house. Then you'll only have time to check the most important messages.

Your day will start better if you take time for the important things. Every day is a new day - enjoy it!
