There is a habit I have practiced for years and it has nothing to do with a productivity system or a morning checklist.
On my birthday every year, I do the things that genuinely fill me. Not the things I think I should want. The things I actually want.
This morning it was a sunrise at the ocean.
Today it will be a walk at Morikami, some time with my garden, and dinner with someone I love.
The habit is simple: once a year, give yourself an entire day of evidence that you know who you are and what matters to you.
You do not need a birthday to do it. But if yours is coming, consider making that the plan.
What is one thing that always brings you back to yourself?
