Your Day Is Built in the First Five Minutes
You don’t need a perfect morning routine, just a conscious first decision.
We think mornings are about control.
Productivity. Habits. Checklists. Cold plunges.
A hundred things stacked in a row to prove we’re winning before 9am.
But beneath all that…
Morning is just a moment of alignment.
It’s your chance to tell the mind:
“This is what we care about today.”
And when you miss that moment?
The world writes the script for you.

The pause between waking and reacting…
is where you actually meet yourself.
If you don’t visit that space intentionally, you’ll skip past your entire day without ever feeling present for it.
