Read MoreI have talked about the importance of the morning before on this blog. I’m a firm believer that how you start your day greatly influences the trajectory of your day.

There’s something symbolic about it really, as though it signifies the change of energy and intention as you get ready to wind down and relax. I personally change out of my work clothes as soon as I get home, before I do anything else. Even

Both perspectives would be technically correct but each perspective has very different implications on how we feel about our situations, and can thus illicit a chain of events that look drastically different. The person who sees the glass as half full might feel grateful, lucky, wealthy and thus be happier, feel more content with his life situation, or
