Slow Mornings
a quiet check-in as we close out March
Some mornings ask very little of us.
A few quiet minutes. A warm mug of tea or coffee.
A favorite song playing softly in the background.
A deep breath before the day begins.
As we close out March, one thing I keep hearing from people is this: everyone is carrying something.
For some, it’s deadlines and decisions. For others, it’s caregiving, uncertainty, or grief that still arrives before their feet hit the floor. That’s why I keep thinking about slow mornings. Not perfect mornings. Not long mornings. Just slow enough to remember yourself.
Sometimes it’s listening to your favorite song with your headphones on, just long enough to block out the world for a few minutes.
Sometimes it’s lingering in the car in the driveway for a few extra moments before stepping into what your family needs from you.
Sometimes it’s staying in the office a little after hours so you can close out the day in peace.
Sometimes it’s stealing a few quiet minutes at the start of the morning for meditation, prayer, or simply a deep breath before the day begins.
Wherever you find it, those slow moments matter more than we often realize. As we close out March and move toward a season that can bring up so much for many of us, I’d love to hear from you:
What does your slow morning look like right now?

Until next time friends,
