Aside from getting a good night's sleep, there is nothing more critical to having a great day than how you begin it. How to have a good day depends on the first 10 minutes of your morning — this is what counts the most.

Does your morning routine sound something like this?:

The alarm sounds. You hit snooze and close your eyes. You toss and turn. The alarm sounds. You hit snooze. The alarm sounds.

You grab your phone, defeated. You check Instagram. "Like, like, like, pass. Wow, she looks great in EVERY shot." You close down the app.
