What Do You Do to Start Your Creative Day?

I like to start my day with meditation and some form of exercise, either yoga, weight training, or cardio. For this, I have to get up really early, around five am, which can be really challenging, but it helps me with the transition between waking and starting with the tasks for the day. On days when I don’t do this, I feel out of focus and a bit dazed, and it’s harder for me to concentrate, so I try to go to bed early so I can have this time for myself.

A Latina Fleabag committed to her carefree single life meets the sexy new mechanic determined to break through her defenses, in this humorous and heartfelt foodie women’s fiction set at a cookie company. Published by Alcove Press. Buy from Book Haven Books or your favorite bookseller.
