Wake the Natural Way
“An easy way to feel better is by letting natural light wake you up. The onset of dawn is a natural signal that wraps up your dreams without interrupting them, raises your body temperature, and gets your hormones ready for the day. So try leaving your blinds open and wake up with the sun—you'll probably feel a lot more refreshed. If you're afraid of oversleeping, keep an alarm clock as a backup. You probably won't need it.”

The Silent Treatment
Each day, pencil in a couple of minutes on your planner for complete silence. Turn off your phone, don't check your e-mail, and don't talk to anyone. Noise zaps your positive energy; it increases heart rate and the level of cortisol (the stress hormone), interrupts thoughts, and rattles nerves. Silence is a time-out; it calms you down. You can have silent time while working, gardening, or taking a walk. Just make sure you schedule it. You can't sneak the time in, or you're sure to be interrupted.”
