Recently I have begun a new habit. In the morning I make a cup of tea (gentler than my old coffee habit) and simply sit by myself to enjoy it. I'm not yet journaling, or planning my day, or catching up on emails. I'm not taking my walk to get my steps in or doing morning stretches or making breakfast. I'm just enjoying the first cup of tea and the slow waking of day. It feels absolutely luxurious and somehow is the kindest and most revolutionary thing I could do for myself. It feels like part of that invisible labor you're writing about here. I loved this post. Thank you for sharing it this morning. ♥️🙏♥️

Thank you so much, Sarah.

That sounds like such a lovely way to start the day -easing into it. I adore finding those simple luxuries that seem to slow time down where we can be truly present.
