READING RITUAL

Ashley Graham sets her morning intention by reading an excerpt from her favourite books before she gets out of bed. "I have this awesome book and, in the contents, it has all these different words, like anxiety, loneliness, comfort, conversation. You look up the word that you're feeling in the moment," the model said in a video for Elle.

To help kickstart your mornings, author Jacqui Lewis offers her steps for creating a routine to set each day up for success in her new book The 14 Day Mind Cleanse.
