Take a moment
Breathe. That's what I tell myself as I wake up in a restless state this morning. Just breathe. It's a lot harder than it sounds, because my mind is already indexing projects that should be completed; and planning out the day ahead.

One Thing
What would life look like if I asked myself these two questions each day?
