It’s so easy for me to lose focus and become distracted. That’s why I’m trying to implement a more mindful routine in my mornings. Something as simple as making matcha can be a mindful experience. 

- Slowing Down: Take your time to prepare the matcha tea & don’t rush through the process. Pay attention to the smell, texture, and taste of the matcha powder.
- Senses: Use your senses to fully experience the making of matcha tea. Take in the green color of the powder, the sound of the mixing whisk & the hot water, the smell of the tea and the warmth of the cup.
- The Present: Avoid getting caught up in thoughts about the past and/or future while preparing the tea. Focus on the present moment & the current task.
- Breathing: Take a few deep breaths before making the tea and while preparing it. This can help calm the mind & bring you into the present moment.
- Gratitude: Appreciate the matcha tea & the process of making it. Be grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a simple + mindful moment.
- Enjoy: Take time to enjoy the tea, savor the flavors, & be present in the moment as you drink it.
