Begin the day with a clear intention. A practice of aligning your actions with your values before the world pulls you in different directions.
Guidance
Find a quiet moment after waking. Sit comfortably. Take three deep breaths to arrive. Ask yourself: How do I want to show up today? Not what you want to do — but how you want to be. Patient? Present? Kind? Choose one word or phrase as your intention for the day. Silently repeat it three times. Carry it with you. When you forget — and you will — return to it. This is the practice: returning, again and again.
