The Quiet Benefits of a Slow Morning

Over the past month I’ve been experimenting with a slower morning routine. Not a "wake at 5am" routine — just fifteen minutes to stretch, drink water, and look out the window before touching a screen.
It sounds small, but it softened the edges of the day. My inbox feels less like a fire alarm and more like a list of decisions. I’m not faster; I’m steadier. There’s a difference.
If you’re curious, try this: pick two things that make the morning feel unhurried and do them for one week. No timers, no guilt if you miss a day. See what changes.
