How to rise and shine

Get out of bed the wrong side . . . and most of us know the day rarely improves. Now we have proof of that truism from U.S. research which found the anticipation of stress, as well as the stress itself, sets the tone for the day. It strikes a chord with me. the alarm would go on my mobile, I’d switch it off and start checking emails. Inevitably, there would be something that would stress me out! So I banned my mobile from the bedroom and got an alarm clock. Now, my alarm goes off, I shower, have breakfast … and only then do I pick up my phone. I get to work so much more relaxed.
