- Breakfast not only sets you up mentally for the day but physically as well
- It kickstarts your metabolism, and it regulates your blood sugars
- When you start the day in a negative thought loop, the thoughts are more likely to spiral into a vortex of negative emotions that affect your mood and your day

- Here’s some advice and tips to help you get started.
Write a to-do list
The most effective time to plan your day is the night before
- It enables you to park your work for the day enhancing a positive work-life balance
