Jan 31, 2025

have you heard about miracle mornings? we tried it for the first time during the pandemic and we’ve been doing it on and off, but we thought about sharing it here and maybe inspire you for a fresh start of September, which feels like a start of a new year. new goals, new plans, new things coming into our lives.

meditation - try to do a meditation, even if it’s a five-minute one
tasks for the day - write down a list of 3-5 important things that need to be done that day to help you be focused.
