I prime every day in the morning with the following good emotions (adapted from The six steps meditation):
- forgiveness
- gratitude
- love
- focus
- harmony
- blessedness (is that a word?)

The process is a bit long to describe (but really takes only two minutes to perform), so I won't launch into it unless someone says it might be of interest.

Good idea. Morning routines are hard to remember, at least for me... pre-coffee zombie brain. what I was trying but could not make it an everyday routine is power posing (superman pose) for 2 mins for T.

I indeed sip coffee as the first thing in the morning, then (cold) shower, then meditation. In this way I optimize each step for wakefulness :)

Power posing is also a good idea!
