Morning Rituals

Arianna Huffington shares her morning rituals that help her lead a mindful life. She emphasizes the importance of not immediately checking her phone upon waking up, instead taking a moment to set her intentions and express gratitude. Arianna suggests small steps like five minutes of meditation to start the day positively 1.

The key is not to charge your phone by your bed, which is also important because if you charge your phone by your bed and you wake up in the middle of the night, for whatever reason, go to the bathroom, whatever, you are going to be tempted to look at your messages, of course.
