What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Mornings are the purest time of the day – untouched yet by what would (certainly) follow.

If I am working from home, my mornings are relaxed. I know I won’t be starting work until a couple of hours. So, I sip my water slowly, strolling across rooms and reflecting on my observations and feelings. Then, it’s time to take my dog baby out for a walk.

By the time we are back, the freshness of the morning starts to wane. A sense of rush seeps into the mind. The heart prepares itself for the day ahead.

And before you know it, you have already stepped into the banality – laptop on, fingers racing, forehead lined, eyeballs left to right – right to left.

Morning’s over!
