Some mornings deserve coffee before conversation.
Coffee can be less about productivity and more about creating a small place to return to yourself.
Where this shows up
Sometimes the problem is not the day itself but the fact that you never gave yourself a transition between its parts.
That is usually the moment worth noticing. The point is not to judge yourself for the reaction. The point is to recognize what the reaction is asking you to see.
Try this today
Protect the first ten minutes of one morning this week from notifications.
A question worth sitting with

You do not need an immediate answer. A good question can stay useful long after the first reaction passes.
Take this with you
You can leave this thought unfinished. Notice what comes back after the emotional volume settles.
