place . A 2011 study by Kang and company found that mindfulness practice can enhance psychological well-being and reduce stress . By incorporating this moment of Zen into your morning , you're setting the tone for a more peaceful and productive day . Remember , you have the power to choose peace even in the busiest of mornings , one of the things I like to do . If I know I'm going to have a pretty busy morning , I like to sit for at least five minutes , depending on how much time I have . It might be five minutes , it might be 30 .

But I like to sit in the morning and just visualize my schedule for the day and think about what are the critical things that I need to do ahead of each meeting in order to be ready , and I plan my day so that I can show up 15 minutes before the meeting and be ready to go , or have everything that I need so that , even if it's busy , I can be actively calm and calmly active in it . .
