In The Beginning...

We are bombarded with information at all times of the day and night.  Social media, newsfeeds, emails (personal and work related) all clamor for our attention.  Yet how we engage with such shapes our daily experience.  Particularly valuable are the first minutes of our days. 

Do you roll out of bed and immediately connect to the online world?  That may be a mistake.  The first 15 to 30  minutes of our day sets a tone.  Imagine awakening, stretching, enjoying a warm beverage, breathing deeply and connecting with yourself or a partner, engaging with some light exercise.  Grounding yourself in the day.  How different is this from rubbing the sleep from your eyes while scrolling through a twitter feed?  How might that shape you as you move into the faster paced world of obligations and demands?  How we begin often shapes how we end.
