Dr Alka - The Million Hour Doctor™️

@grazia asked me what I do in the first half hour after I wake up. Three things, most days.

Light before laptop. Outside within 30 minutes if I can, because morning light helps set your body clock, and that clock has a say in how alert you feel now and how well you sleep tonight.

Move before sitting. Calf stretches while I brush my teeth. A wall squat before the shower.

Water before food. Even mild dehydration can blunt your focus.

Thanks @ambermiddletonlol for the question!

(ps this is not perfection every single morning 😁my children will tell you on some mornings they see me sitting in bed on my laptop in the dark! Rare, but still happens, because sometimes life demands it. But once you know what the better options are then you tend to lock in the longevity levers much more often)

What about you? What gets your morning started - on most days 😊?
