Each morning, I pour a cup of coffee and carve out a few sacred minutes to renew myself. During this time, I may solve the world's problems, or my mind may remain blank. It's not what I ponder, it's that I ponder at all.

A Locale for Replenishing
Consider establishing a place just for leisure. Your goofing-off spot can be as simple as a little-used chair in your office, a quiet corner in your home, a porch swing, or even your parked car. I once met a yoga instructor who retreated from her lively household to her own mobile, soundproof "room" for meditation. I often engage in reverie while sitting in my car in line at the bank drive-through.
