Some days it's a little harder to get out of bed than others. Snooze twice and suddenly you're in rush and stress mode. You won't get that feeling out of your system for the rest of the day.
If this is recognizable, it might be time to change it. How you start your morning affects the rest of your day. Don't worry, we really don't expect you to get up three hours early to do sunrise yoga. Although we have a lot of respect for those who do. A morning ritual of only 10 minutes can already help with a calm state of mind that ensures that you are productive throughout the day.
