The things we do in the morning set the pace for the day; if we establish a positive and upbeat routine, it will have a snowball effect on our mood, performance, and our health in the long run. On a previous podcast, one of our guests, Dre Baldwin, shared with us the cornerstones of any successful routine: discipline, confidence, imagination, and innovation. Mastering discipline will lead to being more confident, and confidence in what we do will open the door for imagination, which we will use to innovate and find new ways of doing things more efficiently.   In this episode, we will talk about the seven steps of the Becoming Your Best Morning Routine. We will go through each one of the steps that will grant you are getting the best out of your days, every day.
