Here’s what your day might look like:


6:00 A.M. >>> SAY OHM. Begin your day with a short meditation. Sit quietly in a relaxed position and breathe. Do your best to focus on your breath and let thoughts pass by without judgment. Twenty minutes of meditation can help you become more mindful of your thoughts and behaviors throughout the day. Studies show meditation can also lessen pain, depression, and stress.


6:15 A.M. >>> GET MOVING. Go to the gym or head to the pool for a swim. Choose any form of exercise that’s right for you and your body’s limitations.


7:00 A.M. >>> EAT BREAKFAST. “A healthy breakfast should include a combination of protein and carbohydrate to energize and satisfy hunger all morning,” says Marisa Moore, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. Good options: a slice of whole grain toast with two tablespoons of peanut butter and a small banana; a whole grain English muffin with an egg, spinach, tomato, and a thin slice of cheese; or yogurt with whole grain granola.


7:30 A.M. >>> SLATHER ON SOME SUNSCREEN AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE HEADING OUT THE DOOR. Apply it to all exposed skin, even if you’re just going in your car. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the sun’s rays can penetrate windows.
