Whatever you feed your brain before breakfast sets the flavor for the whole day.

What you take in first tends to set the tone you carry, because the early hours are when your mind is most open and least defended. It is not that one video ruins a day. It is that the mood you begin in quietly becomes the lens you read everything else through, including things that have nothing to do with it. You notice the effect by lunchtime, long after you forgot the cause.

Give the first twenty minutes to something you chose on purpose, whatever that is for you. Nothing heroic. Just notice how the morning feels when the first thing through the door was invited.
