See if you can focus on the experience of your morning coffee (or tea).
Aware of the smell as you open the jar. Notice the sound of the coffee dripping into the pot. Be present for the taste of that first sip. Feel the warmth of the mug in your hands.
Try to be present in the moment.
Notice the urge to do other things like boot up your computer or send a text message. See if you can just sit down and drink your coffee.
Aware of the mind rushing into the day. Perhaps your thoughts are already about being in the office.
Take a breath and come back to the present moment. Just drink your coffee.
Allow yourself to take in the experience.
You will likely enjoy your coffee more. And these few mindful moments will help you approach the day feeling more balanced.
