Get dressed for success:
There is a lot of power in wearing something that makes you feel energized and capable to do the work. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a suit set or anything heavy but what makes you feel comfortable. Jump in the shower first thing and put on something that makes you feel ready for the day.
