Rebuild your mornings before you try to rebuild your life. It’s the smallest version of the same job.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

The first hour sets the terms for the rest, and it is also the smallest piece of your day, which makes it the cheapest place to practise running things differently. Trying to overhaul an entire life is vague. Rearranging four decisions before nine is specific and immediately testable.

Change one thing about how you start. What you touch first, what time your feet hit the floor, whether you eat. Hold it for two weeks and watch how far the effect travels into the afternoon.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What do your first twenty minutes awake look like?

Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
