Grateful morning sip

Grounds you before the day takes over.
Use this when
When morning already feels like catching up before you have started.
After this
You will notice the first moment of your day felt like a choice, not a default.
You will need
Your morning glass of water.
The why
Naming one thing you are grateful for before any other thought helps activate the prefrontal cortex and reduce the morning cortisol spike that primes the body for reactivity.
