Make the most of your morning

Simple advice on money + home + family + shopping + trends Get your day off to the best start possible with these simple rituals

TVs, smartphones and tablets all stimulate the brain and prevent your mind from adjusting to the day naturally,” says life coach Kitty Waters (www.kittywaters.com). It can be very tempting to check your phone or switch on the news before getting out of bed, but this could ramp up your stress levels. Wait until after breakfast before you log on.
