For example, what do you do in the mornings? What do you eat? Meditation or exercise? I'm looking forward to all your suggestions.

God I'm useless in the mornings

I like to do a 4 mile walk first thing. If I don't I feel quite stiff for the rest of the day.

I do a 20 minute Pilates session on YouTube and it’s made a real difference. It’s quick and easy and loosens all my joints etc and makes me feel great!

Get up. Growl. Shout at everyone for being forgetful. Drive all to school at multiple drop offs. Home. Walk dog. Shout at emails from forgetful people. Write nice and helpful replies to said emails. Actually start my day. Wish I made a green tea.

I get up at least an hour and a half before I have to leave for work, actually close to two hours before most mornings. I have time to have a decent breakfast, pleasant shower, dress, clean up my kitchen, browse news or whatever I fancy on my phone, plan dinner or get a shopping list together.

When I had all the DCs at home I got up even earlier because I really cherished that time on my own inside my own head without any interruptions.
