I like the idea of finding out of what best suits my mood, including laying down to clear my mind @CANDC

I thought of it and decided that right now, as I have a relatively unrushed morning, my mind would like to finally develop a routine for such unrushed mornings which are like a blessing for me given my past difficulties with needing excessive hours of sleep.

After I floss/scrape/brush my teeth, I set a timer for 30 minutes before having my morning lattes. This is because at least 30 minutes are needed for fluoride from the toothpaste to have a positive effect on the tooth enamel. So what exactly will I do in these 30 minutes? That will be my task to determine and optimize and I will start today as I happen to be in the mood where I want to optimize.

I really like the idea of developing awareness of what suits my mood. To me that would also involve stopping berating myself for not launching tasks when they simply do not suit my mood of the moment.

Thank you for finding my post today!
