The Morning Ritual

Mornings set the tone for everything that follows. The first hour is less about productivity and more about presence: the weight of a linen throw, the steam from a bowl of matcha, the way sunlight inches across the table.

1. Open the windows before checking the phone.
2. Whisk matcha in a ceramic bowl and watch the froth form.
3. Spread linen across the table and eat breakfast slowly.
4. Write one sentence about what the day might hold.
