Finding your Zen Just five minutes when you wake up could change the rest of your day

Do you find yourself racing out the door in the morning with a to-do list as long as your arm running through your head? If so, you may be setting yourself up for a forgetful day. Penn State University researchers found that adults who began the day by focusing on how stressful the next 24 hours would be, didn’t do as well on memory tests during the day as others. They theorised the early morning stress worsens your working memory – your ability to learn, focus and remember. Going for a walk or doing a short morning meditation could be all you need to make sure your day is a stress-free success!
