⏱️ Mano Minute (11/4): The Power of a Morning Run/Walk 🏃♂️ A morning run or walk might be the most powerful habit you can build. It combines some of the healthiest habits: It wakes up your body, clears your head, and helps regulate your circadian rhythm for better sleep later on. Even ten minutes makes a difference. No phone.
