There’s a lot of writing about morning routines. Heck, even I’ve written about it on this blog before. They’re everywhere! As someone pointed out to me the other day, being swamped with a load of “Here are the 27 things you MUST do before 5am!” articles and ideas aren’t helpful, mostly because the fact is …

“Be grateful for three things every day” “Fill in a gratitude journal” “Get the fuck out of my garden!” We’ve all heard these sayings often enough. Gratitude is a great leveller.
