010: How To Develop a Morning Routine

Are you pouring from an empty cup? There are so many benefits to having a consistent morning routine! According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, “Having a morning routine can increase your energy, productivity and positivity. It also generates momentum, building up to the brain’s peak time for cognitive work (late morning).” As real estate agents, we wear lots of hats. Because we serve in so many capacities, we have to dedicate time to filling our own cups before pouring out for others. This is where a solid morning routine comes in. We can create space to prioritize self-care so that we can be better for the people we serve in business and our personal lives.
