After opening your eyes each morning, what do you do first?

Do you take a quick glance at your phone? Flip on the TV? Do a quick email or text check?

If so, what did you invite into the sacred space of your bedroom and your mind?

Checking in with the world before we check in with ourselves means someone or something else is igniting our brains, endorphins, and adrenaline. We are off and running for our day before leaving the bedroom—with others’ voices leading us, with someone else’s agenda.

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Her Best Life co-founder Sarah Reynolds knows quite a bit about this. She is wonderfully vulnerable and relatable when sharing her story of how her old habit often took a toll on her energy before even getting out of bed. The distractions from the outside overrode how she was feeling and where she really wanted her energy to be: at home with her family.

Thankfully, there's a simple 5-step solution that allows you to set the one for a productive and fulfilling day. The Her Best Life Co-Founders and Team HBL can vouch for it: this plan works!

Co-founder Wendy Papasan calls it “taking control over your energy.” During this season of time changes, depressive darker days, and colder temps for many of us, it’s a great wake-up call. Wendy kindly reminds us that it’s a myth to think we don’t have control over our energy or time. And, as we all know, the beginning of our day is the most important.

“If you can have a productive morning and implement the habits that you’ve created, the rest of the day is just gravy.”~ Wendy Papasan

We need to protect our energy in five aspects of our lives: spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, and business. Implementing these five proven strategies before 11 am each day will allow you to do just that AND get you started on a powerful note:

1. Meditate and Pray
2. Exercise and Eat
3. Hug, Kiss, and Laugh
4. Plan and Calendar
5. Lead Generate

After trying on your new habits for a while, let your Circle (and us) know how it goes.

For more details and other ideas, tune in to the Empire Building Podcast Episode 28: “5 Things to Do by 11 AM to Crush the Day.”

Everything else in the world can wait until you take care of yourself and your energy.

“Time is a way to protect your energy.”~ Sarah Reynolds

And you, fierce and fabulous one, are very much worth it.
