             This morning, like most mornings, my husband, Rick and I had breakfast together. We enjoyed a cup of coffee, read from our inspirational books and did a guided meditation.    Some of our favorite meditations are by Sarah Blondin on Insight Timer.  Her voice is lovely and she creates exquisite imagery through her words. 

            Iā€™m entirely grateful we both have our own businesses availing us the opportunity to spend quality time together as the day begins.  This hour over breakfast allows me to start the day in a mindful manner as opposed to being shot from a cannon.  I believe how we spend the first hour of our day acts as a rudder steering the remainder of the day.

Mindful Tip:

Even if it means getting up 5 minutes earlier, start the day by doing either a short guided meditation or a breath meditation.  It will prepare you to be more present throughout your  day.
