Kickstarting Your Day: Beating Morning Rumination with Matt McGovern
“Start your day with that first w, a win- and let that momentum build up the snowball effect. One little thing, boom, another thing, another thing. And that has honestly got it so simple. Just the alarm clock across the room. But that has killed all my rumination in the morning time, which has allowed me to get a better start on My Day, a great start on My Day.”
