The way we begin our day usually determines how the rest of our day will go. If we start off the day by waking up, going straight to work, & barely speaking to each other, then let’s face it, we’re probably going to have a crappy day. So to avoid this, we always start off our day by making cappuccinos together in the kitchen while Eva begs at the door to go outside because she knows the routine: once we start making our cappuccinos, it means it’s almost time for her to go outside so she can play.
After teasing Eva with a game of shutting & opening the door real fast, we then drink our cappuccinos together on the back porch while she runs around the back yard. Then when it’s time to start working, we’re completely relaxed & we feel good knowing that we have spent some time together that morning.
You don’t specifically have to drink coffee with your spouse or maybe you’re not even married, but we would encourage you to spend your first hour of the day doing something that relaxes you or whatever best gets you ready for your work day.
