The mood you set in your first ten minutes echoes all day. Before the scroll or the inbox grabs your attention, give yourself a few clean sentences and one tiny action. These affirmations are short on purpose—easy to say while the kettle hums, tying shoes, or watching sun streak the window.
Pick three for today. Say them slowly, breathe a little deeper than usual, and picture a 10-second scene where each is already true. Then take one matching micro-step—open a window, drink a full glass of water, write your Top 1 for the morning.

Two-minute morning plan: Choose one line from Wakeful Presence, one from Body & Breath, and one from Momentum. Say them once out loud, once in your head. Do the matching micro-step—open a window, drink water, start a 60-second version of your Top 1. Screenshot your trio and use it all week; let the proof pile up.
