Enjoy your food (and coffee): breakfast is your first meal of the day and provides you with the energy to complete your daily tasks. Enjoy your breakfast, savor every bite, and engage in mindful eating as you notice how the food looks, smells, and tastes with each bite.
Write down your daily goals: Spend a few minutes each morning writing down what you want to accomplish for the day.
