The Perfect Morning Routine Starts with You NOT Scrolling Through Your Phone

I get it. Your phone is right there on your nightstand, buzzing away, just begging for attention. You wake up, roll over, and before your feet even hit the floor, you’re deep into a rabbit hole of Instagram, emails, and notifications.
