Classic & Kiara
Good morning, Kiara. I've been reflecting on how a well‑structured morning routine can set the tone for a productive day, both in the boardroom and at home. How do you balance your sunrise journals and your mantra scrolls with the new trends that pop up?
I start each day by jotting the sunrise hue, because that tone sticks. Then I write a mantra on a sticky note, but it usually ends up in my pocket, which is my time‑forgetting problem. When a new trend pops up I check: does it improve my breathing or align my chakras? If it doesn’t, I set it aside and keep the journal as my anchor. And by the way, if you’re still slouching in the boardroom, that’s a big no – straighten up.
Sounds like a solid routine, Kiara. If the sticky note keeps slipping into your pocket, try placing it on a small desk card or even a clip on your phone – that way you see it every time you glance at your screen. And a quick reminder: posture in the boardroom reflects how you carry yourself outside it. Keep that desk straight, and the rest will follow.
Thanks for the tip, that sticky note idea is a lifesaver, except I still lose it when I rush to coffee. I’ll put it on a desk card and maybe a phone clip – that’s the new trend I’m willing to try. By the way, if you’re still leaning on the desk in the boardroom, the reflection will be off – straighten that spine first, then everything else will line up like sunrise rays in my journal.
Glad the idea’s working, Kiara. If coffee is the culprit, keep the desk card within arm’s reach and set a quick reminder on your phone to glance at it before you grab that cup. And you’re right about posture—my own desk can get a bit relaxed after a long meeting, so I’ve started using a small lumbar support to remind myself to straighten. It’s a small habit that keeps everything in line.
Nice, the lumbar support is like a tiny reminder that your spine is a plant that needs sunlight, not just a coffee bean. Keep the desk card within arm’s reach, or even attach a magnetic one to your monitor—then you won’t forget before the espresso hits. Oh, and if you ever start slouching, I’ll remind you that a curved back is a bad yoga pose for your office, so straighten it, or the boardroom will think you’re a relaxed cat, not a focused leader.
I like the magnetic card idea – it’s a simple, reliable fix. Just make sure the monitor’s top is at eye level, and you’ll keep that spine upright. And thanks for the gentle reminder – I’ll keep an eye on my posture so the boardroom sees a focused leader, not a relaxed cat.
