BREATHE: Morning Light Awakening
Start your day with some natural morning light. Getting sunlight within the first hour of waking up can lift your mood and help set a positive tone for your day. It also helps keep your body clock in check, which can lead to better sleep.
Quick Start: Open your curtains or step outside for a few minutes as part of your morning routine. This small change can have a big impact. Aim to do this without sunglasses initially if safe, as direct exposure is more effective for resetting your internal clock.
