​​If you're new to my community, a warm welcome to you! I'm so happy you've decided to join us.

Happy Friday!

I am doing a super happy dance this morning. Yesterday the government announced that the golf courses are allowed to open starting tomorrow, so my long weekend just got a whole lot better! And Shaun has today off, so as soon as I send this newsletter, we’re heading down to the beach for the afternoon!

Here’s what I have for you this morning…

The Friday Five

5 Rituals to Boost Your Energy and Productivity

This week’s Friday Five is all about making sure you have enough energy to get through your day and be productive while you’re doing it.

Here are five rituals to add to your daily routine that will boost your energy to live each day more productively:

1. Sleep for 7 to 8 Hours Every Single Night

You can't have good energy and be productive if you don't get sleep. Getting a full night's rest also affects your overall mood, health, and outlook.

2. De-Clutter Before You Get to Work

Nothing is better for freeing your mind than getting rid of clutter and ensuring your workspace is organized.

3. Meditate or Stretch with Sunlight

Start each morning off with a short five-minute meditation routine or stretch outside or with your blinds open in the living room. As you clear your mind and de-stress, the sunlight will wake you up and energize you for the day.

4. Wake Up Early and Get Moving

Science has shown that those who are early to bed and early to rise are healthier. They have smaller waist sizes and have longer life expectancy than those who refer to themselves as "night owls."

5. Never Skip Breakfast

Breakfast is when your body finally gets a moment to refuel after a long rest. If you feel like you suffer from a lot of mental fog, especially in the mornings, your diet is probably to blame.

And that’s it for me today. I’m having an intentionally unproductive day and going to soak up some sun at the beach!

Have an amazing day! Create what makes your heart happy!

It’s a weird day here… and I’m not quite sure why. I think I need to spend some time with my journal, and pull some cards before I get into full-on planning mode. I mentioned yesterday that my mind is spinning with all kinds of ideas, and that hasn’t stopped yet. This is one of those times when I...
