"Baby it's a brand new day! Ain't no clouds hangin' over me! Something doesn't feel the same … the rest of my life gonna start today!"
Those are lyrics to the song "Good Morning" by Max Frost, aka my alarm clock. If you haven't heard it yet and need a song to get you grooving first thing in the morning, I highly recommend it.
I wake up to this song each and every day, and have a few rituals in the morning that get me going and help me perform at my best.
As you probably know, I love nerding out about morning routines and rituals that help people start their day. That's why I'm so excited to announce that this week we're back with another round of the "Kwik Habits" series with world-renowned memory and brain performance expert Jim Kwik.

When our brains are happier? We're happier, too. But, how do you go about cultivating a happier brain?
Enter: Jim Kwik, who's about to share some awesome strategies for doing just that.
