 Morning
Give a speech with
the following words:
Possible answer:
get up
Ideally, I like to get up at 7:30 am, do twenty minutes of Vedic meditation, and
meditation
finish with three minutes of gratitude practice to set the tone of the day. Then I put
practice
on a podcast, where I can learn about business, personal development, creativity,
training
or entrepreneurship to help get my mind in a good space. Once the podcast is over,
read
I do a twenty-five-minute plyo training workout in my apartment. I like the plyo
training because it’s the highest impact in the least amount of time. It gets my
1 metabolism going. After I finish working out, I make a protein shake and then sit
down to read some emails. I get into my work day around 9:30-10:00am.

 Morning
Give a speech with
the following words:

wrong Possible answer:

mood
depression Sometimes we all wake up on the wrong side of the bed and just find it hard to get
sad our bearings. At other times, we might start out fine, but have a horrible commute
experience or a screaming match with a teenager just before going to work. People with
morning depression may experience feelings of extreme sadness, frustration,
2 anger, and fatigue. These feelings are often worse in the morning than in the
afternoon or evening. Paying attention to the morning moods can pay dividends.

 Morning
Give a speech with
the following words: Possible answer:
My favourite thing about the morning is that it truly is ripe for the picking. To me,
favourite mornings hold a wonderful ‘clean slate’ appeal. Those beautiful few hours before
light you start work and your energy becomes scattered between onerous tasks and
think other people’s expectations, where you can snatch some ‘me time’ and think
me time about what you want out of your day. Granted, rising early isn’t for everyone, but
sleep in I tend to feel a bit wonky for the rest of the day when I sleep in. Unbalanced,
sluggish, slightly off centre. I love watching the day turn from dark to light, sitting
3 at the traffic lights on my way to the gym with the radio on, sleep in my eyes,
tradesmen in trucks beside me, the sun peeking out over the ocean.
