🌞Hey’all - Good morning!

Here we are Day 7 of our Digital Sunset Tea Ceremony week. Tonight, as dusk approaches, remember to switch off your screens an hour before sleep, brew your calming herbal tea, and let each warm sip guide you gently toward rest. But calm doesn’t just begin at night, carry that quiet intention forward from sunrise.

So this Wednesday, begin your day with five simple Sunrise Stillness Sparks. Each one is just a tiny, gentle pause: a breath by your window, a mindful sip of morning tea, a slow stretch to greet the sun, a word of gratitude whispered before your first task, a quiet check-in with your own intention for the day.

Small acts, big presence. Stay open, stay steady, and let today move at a pace that feels human.

Today’s Soul Food

5 Sunrise Stillness Sparks

🌅Horizon gaze pause (30 sec):
As you wake, stand by a window or step outside. Spot the first light of dawn peeking through. Let your eyes rest gently on that horizon, soften your gaze and breathe in the newness, exhaling any leftover worries from yesterday.

🧘‍♀️Breath-count bridge (45 sec):
Close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose for four counts, hold for two, then exhale slowly for six. Bring your mind to a single word that feels true today - “Calm,” “Clarity,” “Strength” and let it settle warmly in your chest.

🦶Toe-tap grounder (30 sec):
Stand tall and tap your toes gently on the floor, feeling each tap echo back through your feet. This tiny rhythm grounds you reminding you that the earth holds you steady, no matter how your day flows.

💬Mirror micro-affirm (45 sec):
Glance at your reflection. Offer yourself a small, sincere smile. Whisper a short affirmation like, “I choose ease,” or “I am fully here.” Let that mirror moment reflect calm into the hours ahead.

💧Sip & savor starter (1 min):
Pour a glass of fresh water. Take three slow sips, truly tasting each one. With each swallow, say quietly: “I welcome stillness into my day.” Let this ritual anchor your morning in mindful simplicity.

RITUAL OF THE WEEK

Evening Reminder: Digital Sunset Tea Ceremony - Wednesday

Tonight, as the daylight softens, give yourself permission to unplug fully. One hour before bed, silence your phone, dim the lights, and brew your favorite calming herbal tea. Hold your cup with both hands, feel its warmth reminding you that peace is always one sip away. Let each slow drink wash away the day’s chatter, guiding you gently toward rest.

💬Try This: Before you switch off, revisit one Sunrise Stillness Spark from this morning. Maybe pause by your window again or whisper your calming word once more. Notice how a single mindful moment can bookend your day with calm.
