5 Tips to Make Mornings the Best Part of Your Day by Josie Riviera


Hi, everyone!
Even if you’re a night owl, (like me!), here’s five morning tips that will help you to feel refreshed and begin a productive day.



First: Head to bed earlier!
No need to check your phone one more time, or watch another episode of a TV show. All that social media can wait until the morning.

Second: Pair your morning coffee with a glass of water, which will keep you hydrated!
I aim for 8 glasses of water a day, and add fresh lemon to mine.

Third: Stretch, stretch, stretch!
Try yoga or work out to an exercise video on YouTube.
Don’t have time? Stretch your muscles by touching your toes and then reach for the ceiling. Remember to breathe slowly and gently.

Fourth: Get moving and burn calories!
Go for a walk, do some housework, or simply climb up and down a flight of stairs.

Fifth: Eat!
Make breakfast a nutritious beginning of your day. Try yogurt, or my morning favorite … oatmeal and fresh fruit.

How do you plan for a productive morning? Please share your comments below:


 
If you love house flipping and home decorating, my newest sweet romance, 1-800-CUPID, is for you! Reserve your copy today!



A house flipper looking for quick profit. A survivor with a dream. Can two broken hearts find a place to call home?

When a Miami investor calls in search of prime property flip prospects, North Carolina real estate broker Candee Contando expects to meet a balding, steely-eyed land shark. Turns out the first customer she’s had in months is a hot prospect in more ways than one.

Except his gaze has fallen on her dream house, a dilapidated Victorian she just bid her last penny on in hopes of creating a safe place for disadvantaged children—like the girl she used to be.

Teddy Winchester is adept at negotiating life’s curves, but Candee’s curves stop him in his tracks. She’s a warm spark in the emptiness he’s felt since his brother died, leaving him with a beloved nephew to raise.

Attraction glows in Candee’s eyes as well, but there’s also wistfulness as she points out all the reasons an old, tumbledown Victorian doesn’t fit into his tried-and-true house-flipping plan. Yet the more he looks at the house—and at her—he begins to think some things are worth the risk.


Now if only he can convince her that building a new life often starts with tearing down some walls…

When the heart flips, there’s no telling where the walls will fall.

  1. Josie, thanks for the tips on starting the day. I usually start my day out with coffee, breakfast, and then a walk.

  2. My day usually starts when my 4 yr old grandson flings open my bedroom door & jumps on my bed. “Wake up Grandma, it’s light out.”
    After I stagger out, get coffee, breakfast & morning meds, it’s on. Morning play time.
