A morning ritual is a great way to start any day. Though not all mornings go as planned. Thanks for sharing Doug. A morning ritual is a great way to start any day.

You need to craft it. Actually any sort of special activity gets me centered when I need to be. I have an espresso machine, but no steamer. So I always keep 2 cartons of milk in the fridge, one empty or almost. I fill one so it's about 2/7th full... not quite 1/3, but close. Then shake the milk so it's all froth on the inside so when it pours into my mug it layers upon itself over and over till it is about 1 inch below the top. Then microwave the cup till the foam comes about an inch and a half above the top of the cup. Then either pat it down or wait for it to sink, patting works the best. Then lightly sprinkle sugar on the foam so it doesn't fall through then pour a shot of espresso all over the top of the foam then one more right down the center. Then stir, but only at the very bottom so the foam stays intact. I'm sure everyone has some ritual for something they do and it can help get you centered when you really need it. And in my case, the coffee also helps me start the day. Another blog I read gives me some nice insights, http://anxiousangst.blogspot.com/ check that out too.
