“Researchers have found that we release the most stress hormones within minutes after waking.
Why?
Because thinking of the day ahead triggers our fight-or-flight instinct and releases cortisol into our blood.

When you wake up, spend two minutes in your bed simply noticing your breath.
As thoughts about the day pop into your mind, let them go and return to your breath.”
-Rasmus Hougaard & Jacqueline Carter
