The First Ten Minutes Set the Tone

The First Ten Minutes Set the Tone

I used to grab my phone before my feet hit the floor. Within a minute I was reading other people’s problems and my own day felt smaller. Nothing bad had happened. I just gave away my best minutes.

Try this instead. Sit up, take three slow breaths, and name one thing you are thankful for. Drink a glass of water. Then decide the one thing that would make today a good day.

That is it. No big routine and no perfect plan. Ten minutes where you choose the tone instead of letting the world choose it for you.

If you miss a morning, that is fine. Start again tomorrow. You are building something, one quiet morning at a time, and it adds up faster than you think.
