I used to start my days thinking about my to-do list and how stressful everything felt. Then I started writing down just one thing I was excited about, and it completely changed my morning mindset. Some days, it’s as small as enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Other days, it’s seeing a friend after work. This habit helps me focus on the good and builds anticipation that carries me through the day. It’s now my favorite part of my morning routine—so simple but surprisingly uplifting.
