Morning daylight helps set your body clock, which makes it easier to fall asleep at night. Light movement wakes up your body gently, without the stress of a workout. And a short break from screens gives your mind room to plan the day before the day starts planning you.
Make it stick
Choose one route and keep it. Leave your headphones in your pocket at least a few times a week. Wear comfortable shoes — and, we would suggest, a pair of socks bright enough to make you smile when you look down.
Fifteen minutes. One cup. A small daily walk that pays you back all day long.
