For a long time, I started every morning by grabbing my phone before I even got out of bed. Emails, news, messages. By the time I had my first cup of tea, my mind was already racing and I felt behind.

A few weeks ago, I tried something small. Before touching my phone, I sit by the window for five minutes. I breathe slowly, notice the light, and ask myself one simple question: what matters most today?

It sounds tiny, but it has changed the tone of my days. I feel calmer, I react less, and I remember that I get to choose where my attention goes.

Does anyone else have a small morning habit that helps them feel grounded? I would love to hear what works for you.
