Life is ridiculously busy most of the time and rushing around just adds to the stress of the day.
However, if you can fit a little morning ritual in before you start the day, it can really help to set you off on the right foot. I have been guilty of rushing out the door without having eaten breakfast or grabbing a cereal bar to eat as I rush to the car. Aside from not being very good or kind to your body, this sets the tone for the day: missing out on important things and being overwhelmed and rushed. If you can fit a ritual like this into your morning, do it.
Sit down at a table to eat your breakfast.
Make yourself a nice pot of tea or a pot of coffee: not just a quick throw-a-tea-bag-into-a-cup kinda beverage but nice tea leaves in a pot or fresh coffee in a percolator.
And eat something!
Grab a slice of toast or make a bowl of porridge.
Sit down, drink, and eat.
Take a moment to breathe and to sort through your to-do list in your head before you race out the door. This is a quiet “prepare yourself for the day” moment.
You may have to get up a teeny bit earlier to fit it in. Honestly, you will feel so much better for it.
