Your inbox may scream urgency, but your dog has a different agenda. Their mission? Sniff every inch of the yard, catalogue each breeze, and wag at nothing in particular. Pair that with your morning coffee on the porch, and you’ve got the ultimate grounding ritual. Five minutes is all it takes. Instead of doom-scrolling, watch the steam curl from your mug while your dog investigates life’s mysteries. The birds provide background music, the porch becomes your yoga mat, and suddenly productivity feels less like a sprint. Pets are masters at being present. Borrow their wisdom—you’ll start the day centered, not scattered.
