Let’s dive in…👇

During the COVID pandemic, I moved back home to my parents' house.

I figured spending lockdown their would be much better than in my tiny flat.

They have a pretty sweet garden.

And the weather at this time was unbelievable.

Every morning, I would wake up, make a coffee, and stand barefoot in the garden soaking up the morning sun.

I did this instinctively, and it made me feel amazing.

Little did I know… I had intuitively tapped into an incredibly powerful biohack.

Or occasionally I would just sprawl on the floor with the dog 😂

As an Entrepreneur, I believe it’s worth pursuing any edge to enhance our performance, mood, and overall well-being.

So let me share with you why over 100 years of science proves that viewing morning sunlight does exactly that… 👇

Viewing sunlight directly into your eyes within the first hours of waking increases early-day cortisol release.
This cortisol spike positively influences your immune system, metabolism, and focus during the day.
So the sunlight triggers a natural biochemical boost that keeps you sharp and productive… cool eh?!

I intuitively stood in the sun because it felt good… now I know why…👇
It triggers serotonin production - the hormone that makes you feel happy.
It triggers a release of endorphins - our body’s natural mood elevators.
It suppresses melatonin - the thing that makes you feel tired and sleepy, so you feel awake, alert and alive.

Sunlight exposure from morning until midafternoon stimulates the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
These are the neurotransmitters that enhance motivation, attention, and overall focus… so we want as MUCH of them as possible.
I position my workspaces by windows so I get constant doses of light throughout the day.

This one surprise me… but morning sunlight helps your internal body clock know when to wake up and go to sleep.
Spending time outdoors in the afternoon signals to your brain that evening is approaching, prompting you to begin winding down.
Even if you miss out on morning sunlight, afternoon sun exposure can serve as a secondary anchor for your circadian clock, ensuring the consistency of your sleep-wake cycle.
When I track my sleep, I notice a significant boost in the quality of my recovery on days where I spend more time outside in the sun.

Sunlight triggers the synthesis of vitamin D.
This is crucial for your for maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and a strong immune system.
It also plays a role in skin cell growth and repair.
Moderate sun exposure also gives your skin a healthy glow & can even out skin tone.
So you will look and feel healthier which will increase your self-esteem and confidence. This will shine through when you interact with people.
Plus, looking healthy is a positive subsconscious indicator that will encourage people to want to work with you.

Sunlight isn't just a feel-good anecdote; it's science-backed and literally primes your body in so many constructive ways.

Plus… it requires such little effort.

(As long as the sun is out 😂)

Here’s how I practically incorporate it into my schedule:

Get outside, soak up the sun, and watch your business (and yourself) thrive.

I hope this was useful.

Take it easy,
