5 Easy Ways to Boost Your Health and Happiness

What is the first thing you do when you wake up? If you’re like most of us, you go right to the phone, and start scrolling social media, checking emails, responding to texts, etc. All of these things trigger stress responses in the brain, which is not an ideal way to start the day. After learning the hard way more times than I would like to admit, I've landed on handful of foundational daily actions that I've found boost my health and happiness.

Thanks for the reminder Chase. The last two years were not the most conducive to a healthy lifestyle.
It's been a real challenge to to build up a routine of moving more than kitchen - couch - desk - repeat.

Totally agree with you on everything! A tip I'd like to give to the peeps in the comments: if you want to create a habit like taking a walk in the morning, make it more interesting by adding something you like to it. For example, I'm a photographer and I love street photography so every morning I take my camera, leave my phone at home and take a 20-30 min walk. On my walk, I will photograph whatever I find interesting. Sometimes I would even spend an hour outside. And sometimes I do feel guilty cause I think: "I just spent an hour doing nothing productive" but in reality it's a very good way to spend an hour for yourself. Sometimes you're even more productive. Keep em coming Chase! Love the CJ Raw series!

Hey, Chase! Great video on this, and so happy to see you create more and new original content in your style. Love it. I'm really curious if the first 3 steps on the list
(1. Meditation->2. Walking->3. Breakfast (food), is the actual order you do this through the day, from 1-3 or if the order is random. I find that doing stuff in the same order every day, helps me to keep on track on the morning routine! :) Cheers from Oslo.

Yes, love this new content & format.. I have a routine for my day that makes such a big difference. You’ll be in great shape to come the Canadian Rockies and do a few of our famous hikes.
