The Slow Morning

The Practice

Make your first hour today deliberately slow — make the coffee by hand, eat without a screen, let the morning take longer than it needs to. Notice your own impatience arrive and let it sit beside you without obeying it. This is not laziness; it is teaching an over-revving nervous system that safety does not require speed. Perspective only arrives at walking pace, and you cannot plan a month well from inside a sprint.
