We now know scientifically that how we start our day is going to set the tone for the whole day. I often say, when you're trying to get a grasp on all of these goals and all of this stuff and all the ways that you want to step into your next level of your identity, how are you spending the first 10 minutes when you wake up? And if you're not having a meeting with your soul, if you're not having a meeting where you actually arrive at your own door, you take 10 whole minutes to. To actually choose what's your intention for today? Or what is it I want to feel today? Or what is it that I need to remember? What really is my soul reminding me that actually matters to me today? Because if that doesn't happen, then within seconds of waking up, you could pick up your phone. There's 15 notifications. Now. There's all these roles that you play, and there's all these ways that the world just kind of hijacks you and you go right into fight or flight.
