🌞Hey’all - Good morning!

Welcome to Day 5 of our Digital Sunset Tea Ceremony week. Tonight, as screens rest and notifications hush, your calming tea ritual will be ready to hold you steady (just revisit Friday to Sunday for the simple steps!).

But before the day rushes in, pause for a moment. Set your Monday in motion with tiny morning intentions that cost nothing but bring priceless clarity.

▪️ Look out your window for 30 seconds. Spot one small detail you’d normally miss.

▪️ Take three deep breaths while your morning tea or coffee brews. Feel your shoulders drop.

▪️ Whisper one word you want to carry through the day - “Focus,” “Calm,” “Clarity.”

These micro-pauses anchor you now, so tonight’s tea ritual can deepen your calm even more. One clear moment at sunrise, one gentle cup at sunset; that’s how we build a softer, steadier week.

Today’s Soul Food

5 Micro-Intention Sparks
Start your Monday with simple acts that weave clarity and purpose into your day, each one takes under a minute, yet stays with you all day long.

1️⃣ Mirror sticky moment (30 sec):
Write your one-word intention - “Focus,” “Courage,” or anything that fits on a sticky note. Place it on your mirror so each glance anchors you in your chosen direction.

2️⃣ Coffee cup mantra (45 sec):
As you hold your morning coffee or tea, pause and whisper your word three times: “I am clear. I am capable. I am present.” Let that warmth remind you to stay grounded.

3️⃣ Sock-step intention (15 sec):
Before slipping into your socks or shoes, pause and say your word silently feel it settle in with every step you’ll take today.

4️⃣ Lock-screen lens (1 min):
Snap a photo of your sticky note or type your word into your phone’s lock screen. Each time you unlock, it’s a tiny nudge back to what matters.

5️⃣ Planner pledge (1 min):
At the top of your to-do list, write: “Today, I move with [Your Intention].” Let every task you tick off echo your promise to yourself.

Tiny sparks, lasting alignment; that’s your calm momentum today.

RITUAL OF THE WEEK

Evening Reminder: Digital Sunset Tea Ceremony

Tonight, about an hour before sleep, switch your devices to Do Not Disturb and put them aside. Let this be your gentle cue to brew your calming herbal tea: chamomile, mint, or tulsi and hold its warmth as your day softens. There’s nothing new to add tonight just continue the simple ritual you’ve nurtured this week.

💬Try one Micro-Intention Spark today too:
Pick any spark you loved this morning, maybe the sticky note on your mirror or the planner pledge and notice how it guided your Monday moments.

When your tea is steeped and your screen is silent, sip slowly and thank yourself for creating space for calm. If a friend or loved one might need this soft pause too, share this with them, it’s a small act of care that can ripple into their night as well.

Here’s to a clear, calm Monday - sealed in stillness, sip by sip.
