Recently, I discovered a small but effective habit: making myself a cup of coffee every morning. It’s not for a caffeine boost or to appear refined, but in that moment, it suddenly pulls me out of the chaos of daily life.

As the steam rises, you feel your mind gradually clear, and your mood hits a reset button. No matter how the market crashes outside or how noisy the news gets, at least these ten minutes completely belong to you.

Honestly, most of the time we’re not tired—we just haven’t given ourselves any breathing room all day. That cup of coffee becomes a signal: today can start fresh, there’s no need to rush, and no one is pushing you to run.

If your life has been a bit messy lately, maybe try giving yourself a little ritual like this. It won’t solve big problems, but it will make you steadier and more able to face them.
