If your morning is focused on running out the door as quickly as you can so that you can complete one task after another and maybe actually accomplish something, you will find that your day is stressed and rushed. But making your mornings more intentional and empowering will not only get you through the daily grind but allow you to succeed through it and rise above it.

So start your day off by reading. Read the newspaper while casually drinking a fresh cup of coffee. Read a positive or inspirational quote before meditating. If you take public transportation to work, read while you are on the bus or the train. Turn your brain on and prime your day to be successful. If you run out of time, or something to read, you can always listen to audiobooks in the car on the way to work.
