“Research shows that beginning your day with a victory puts you in a positive mood. This morning momentum leads to more victories and continued progress throughout the day. You also win your health battles early in the morning. Making time to exercise and choosing the right foods for the first meal of the day will help you make better decisions all day long. The right decisions will give you more energy so that you will be more productive, mentally sharp, and free from fatigue—and even pain—all day long. Your first victory sets the proverbial ball rolling. This first win is also the biggest win and one that no one can take away from you. That’s why you must start early and control your morning, so that (barring external emergencies) your day will go exactly as planned.”
