A One-Line Intention

Create a memorable anchor, like “Move slowly, choose clearly.” Repeat it while making coffee. It shapes choices all morning. What’s your line for tomorrow? Share it so someone else can borrow your words when they need them most.

Breakfast and Energy Management

Aim for twenty-five to thirty grams of protein with fiber-rich carbs and healthy fats. Think eggs with vegetables, Greek yogurt with berries, or tofu scramble. Comment with your favorite easy breakfast that actually fits busy mornings.
