Each morning, before the inbox opens and the day begins asking things of you, pause and choose who you will be. Set a simple intention such as "Today, I will be patient" or "I will meet every task with gratitude," and let it become the quiet compass you return to. As the work unfolds, bring that same presence into your most repetitive or demanding tasks; give your full attention to the typing, the driving, the cleaning, and you will find that ordinary work becomes a meditative practice.
