Wake up early, meditate and caffeinate<\/div>\n

I wake\u00a0up\u00a0around 6AM every day\u00a0and meditate for 2-5 minutes\u00a0using the\u00a0<\/span>Insight Timer<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0<\/span>MyLife<\/span>\u00a0Meditation app. I don\u2019t hold myself to a longer time limit because I want to be able to do it every day and if\u00a0I\u00a0make it longer,\u00a0I\u00a0won\u2019t. It helps me get centered\u00a0and\u00a0zen\u00a0since the rest of the day\u00a0is usually non-linear\u00a0and all over the place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At 7AM, I take my dog, Cheese, on a walk to our local coffee shop<\/a>, which is my favorite part of the day.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0special quiet time where I\u2019m not working, don\u2019t have to post anything and can just relax.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

02<\/div>\n
Make an *actual* schedule for work and play<\/div>\n

After my coffee walk, I come home at 8AM and start working, usually until 6PM. I work from home, so it\u2019s important I keep my apartment like an office during these hours\u2014no TV and no working from bed! After work, my husband and I make or order dinner and spend the evenings together. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we\u2019ve been home so much\u00a0because of the\u00a0pandemic,\u00a0we spend\u00a0<\/span>a lot\u00a0<\/span><\/i>of our time watching movies. To keep things interesting, we made a media schedule where we set certain nights of the week for different kinds of movies. Fridays are foreign movie night, Saturdays are for mystery movies, Tuesdays are action night. It keeps things interesting, helps us avoid the dreaded remote tug-of-war, and we don\u2019t waste all that time doing the infinite Netflix scroll.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

03<\/div>\n
Know your strengths and surround yourself with great people<\/div>\n

Being a\u00a0<\/span><\/span>business<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0owner and influencer<\/span>, I\u00a0<\/span>hav<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0two full-time jobs. People always ask me how I manage\u00a0<\/span>both<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>and the secret is that<\/span>\u00a0I surround myself with people who\u00a0<\/span>handle the operational parts of running a business<\/span>\u00a0that aren\u2019t my\u00a0<\/span>fort\u00e9<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(<\/span>like\u00a0<\/span>billing<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Excel spreadsheets<\/span>,)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>o that I can shine at what I\u00a0<\/span>do best<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(like product development, branding, marketing, PR and partnership ideas).\u00a0<\/span>Right from the start, I knew building a team of amazing people to help run things was going to be the key to my success.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Only follow people who make you feel good<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re mindful about curating your IG feed, it can be a powerful tool for positivity.\u00a0<\/span>Just seeing\u00a0<\/span>images of a<\/span>\u00a0woman proud of who she is\u2014as she is\u2014<\/span>can give you a subliminal <\/span>confidence boost.\u00a0<\/span>I started my<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>#supersizethelook\u00a0<\/span><\/a>series\u00a0<\/span>as\u00a0<\/span>a result of the reaction I was getting from my followers who saw me posting celebrity style inspiration and commenting they loved it, but it was only for thin women. It\u2019s powerful to see my body, which is a size 18-20, next to the body of a size 0-2 woman<\/span>, demonstrating<\/span> that both can have<\/span>\u00a0great<\/span>\u00a0style.<\/span>\u00a0They key is that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>t\u2019s never about who wore it better<\/span>\u2014<\/span>there\u2019s no body shaming at all<\/span>\u2014<\/span>just a great example of how fashion can be fun for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Go to bed early<\/div>\n

As soon as the clock hits 9PM, it\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>lights out<\/span>. There are times my husband and I look at each other at 8:50 and\u00a0<\/span>say,<\/span> \u201cWe <\/span>gotta<\/span>\u00a0wait\u00a0<\/span>un<\/span>til<\/span>\u00a09, right?\u201d Getting\u00a0<\/span>at least eight\u00a0<\/span>hours of <\/span><\/span>sleep<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0every night is what keeps me s<\/span>harp<\/span>, productive and\u00a0<\/span>healthy<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":2286,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mind"],"metadata":{"_edit_lock":["1751301450:80"],"_edit_last":["80"],"adobe_analytics_repeatable":["a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:4:\"name\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"value\";s:0:\"\";}}"],"_yoast_wpseo_content_score":["60"],"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":["0"],"show_featured_image":["1"],"_show_featured_image":["field_609ee1cf1ce13"],"primary_category":["2"],"_primary_category":["field_608c33bdd26d5"],"mobile_image":[""],"_mobile_image":["field_60bf7692abe28"],"_post_views_count":["field_6107dfafd6a27"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":["2"],"_thumbnail_id":["2286"],"post_views_count":["2731"],"_yoast_wpseo_title":["5 Daily health tips with Katie Sturino | Murad Skincare"],"_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":["Discover 5 wellness habits from body positivity advocate Katie Sturino.
