Ive always been more of a wake-up-at-the-very-last-second-and-rush-while-sweating-out-the-door person.

All that changed, however, when I felt the immediate differences of easing into my day.

To sit in silence, sip my coffee, and down a huge glass of water.

Sometimes Ill read, catch up on emails, do the dishes, or even watch TV.

Its never about what Im doing.

Its more about having the time to do it (and never feeling that rushed morning mania again).

I write lists about any and everythingranging from my daily tasks to what Im grateful for.

Being able to brain dump makes me feel calm and rids my mind of clutter.
