Habits create energy and then focus that energy. Creating energy is possible by a good sleep, meditation, exercise, and good nutrition.
By focusing energy, we make decisions with awareness, and do not say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ as a knee-jerk response. We start to consider the request or task with a new kind of energy inside us.

Tackling The Difficult Stuff First
Our mornings are the prime-time hours of our lives, and the morning routine makes or breaks our day.
