There are a few things that we can do at the beginning of the day, if we have the time, and desire, which I feel make the difference. The difference between feeling like I'm floating away like a helium balloon in the vast open sky vs feeling the solidity of my feet on the ground, and awareness enough throughout my day to breathe, and allow my breath to soften my body. The resulting feeling might also be like i’m ‘plugged in’, in-flow; connected to source. These practices feel to me like the best start to my day.
