Feeling Anxious?

1. Morning: Start with Positivity

   • Minimize News and Social Media:

     • Begin your day by avoiding negative influences from news or social media. This helps create a positive mindset and reduces stress or anxiety.

     • Instead, engage in something uplifting like a few moments of gratitude, meditation, or listening to an inspiring podcast or music.

   • Inspiration from: Shawn Achor (Author of The Happiness Advantage), who emphasizes the power of starting your day on a positive note to cultivate happiness and success.
