I Don't Have Time to Slow Down: A 60-Second Morning Reset

Blue Bliss blueberry creamed honey stirred into a warm cup of tea

Mindful Megan · Week 1

"I don't have time to slow down." That's what I tell myself every morning while I'm already running behind.

But today I stood at the counter and watched the honey fall off the spoon. One minute, no phone, just warm tea.

Nothing on my list changed. I did, a little.

Rest isn't a reward

I used to think rest was something I earned after everything was done. The problem is that everything is never done. So I'm trying something different: rest first, for one minute, and then the day.

Try the 60-second reset

  1. Make something warm: tea, coffee or hot water with lemon.
  2. Stir in a spoonful of honey and watch it dissolve.
  3. Put your phone face down. Take three slow breaths.
  4. Notice one thing: the warmth of the mug, the smell, the light in the room.

That's it. Sixty seconds. You don't need a new routine or an hour of free time.

If you want a honey made for slow mornings, Blue Bliss and Linger Zing lemon ginger honey both melt beautifully into tea. Our Tea Lover Bundle puts a few favorites together.
