Start where you are, and try to become better. So many people want to go so hard at things they burn out. Find little things like the things mentioned here and start adding little things you could do better and add more later.
Try waking up 10 minutes earlier at first. Then later try for an hour or more. Find a way to make a small improvement. Like waking up 10 minutes earlier, and you might even try to go to bed earlier. Start noticing your patterns. Not just sleep but things you could do better. Then start making some changes in your daily life. Doing positive things effects your mindset and even your energy. It is powerful if you get it right.
- When you wake up early, find something to look forward too, not something you’re going to hate. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes worth of stretching, deep breathing, coffee, or something that is not a burden but something you enjoy. I like deep breathing sometimes too, and just thinking and relaxing.
- Carrying one notebook to list your tasks for the day and in the back have notes. This I love. I like just want one thing to keep up with. It is much easier for me than three notebooks.
- Make your bed when you first get out of it. Remember, even the small things add up mentally too. It puts you in a positive mindset, I think. It seems like every positive thing I do puts me in a better mood. It is like my brain says, hey, I want to be productive today and gives me more energy.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
