One thing I really dial into on a Monday is nutrition. I can’t start a fresh week without having freshness in my food. For me, this looks like whole and nutrient-rich foods. The easiest way for me to do this is to make myself a large smoothie jam-packed of some green goodness. Smoothies are beautiful for increasing your fruit and veggie intake (all in one blender).
