How to Establish a Morning Routine That Sets the Tone for Your Day

I used to start my mornings out in full-on panic mode. Snooze button. Coffee. Chaos. And somehow, every day still managed to feel like it was running me, before I’d even had a chance to catch up.

Journaling Prompts for Mindfulness 

It started with a grocery list.

I was sitting at the kitchen table, scribbling down what we needed for the week: milk, spinach, a new jar of peanut butter because my toddler had somehow coated the fridge handle with the last one. My mind was racing through a thousand little tabs: deadlines, laundry, appointments I still hadn’t booked. But then I paused.
