Morning Coffee Meditations
Magic Beans, Gratitude, and Morning Meditations
Why am I awake?
This is the part of the morning where it’s less soul-searching and more trying to figure out who you are (remembering your name helps), why you’re awake (work, adulting, right!), where you put your favorite shirt (Is it clean? Is it dirty? Nobody knows), and where’s the coffee.
Coffee. Coffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffee.
Choosing a morning mantra is important. It may be difficult to choose anything but this one until the need for coffee is met.
Breathe in coffee scent. Breathe out contentment.
Deep breathing is essential to any meditation practice. You can also inhale magic, exhale gratitude or breathe in happiness, release stress. It’s up to you.
I am thankful for coffee.
Insert first-sip gratitude practice. (Subsequent sips focus on gratitude for other things like laughter, sunshine, friendship, coffee creamer, etc.)
Mmm… mmm…
Like OM, but for coffee. Bringing a sense of mindful meditation to our morning coffee can help us enjoy the experience while grounding ourselves in the present moment.
What do I want out of this day?
With the consciousness that comes with caffeine, we can begin to focus on what we want from the day ahead. This is where we can focus on taking steps toward our goals, but it’s also where we can choose the best attitude to get us through the day.
I am resourceful. I am capable of greatness. I am amazing!
With the confidence that comes from coffee, we can practice positive affirmations and set the tone for the day.
We can use our daily dose of brewed magic to center ourselves, focus on our goals, and prepare for the day. Coffee as meditation sounds divine — and perhaps necessary for living our best lives. Instead of rushing that first cup, we can use it to express gratitude, be present, and get ready for the day ahead.
So, drink up, and Namaste!
