How do you kickstart your day?

[Bri]

Hello Zoomers! 

Whether you have a full day of Zoom Meetings ahead of you or you're headed to school or the office, I'm sure there's something you need to kickstart the beginning of a great day ☀️

What do you need to ensure you have the BEST day? Is it coffee, tea, a lucky shirt, a morning run, or something else? ☕👕✨

I'll go first...

I always need a blanket. For context, I am a fully remote worker (😂).

I've had this pink blanket since college that I would always use when I needed a good study session or had a long paper to write. This blanket has followed me into adulthood and can usually be found draped across my knees during my Zoom meetings 😆

I always need a cup of coffee ☕. If I am lucky enough to squeeze it in (unfortunately it rarely happens with a little toddler around 👧), a Peloton ride too puts me in the best mood 🚲.

Iced coffee or hot coffee? ☕🧋👀

[alexisbrown]

Hot! 😛

Coffee ☕️ for the morning boost ⚡️ and a gym workout! 🏋️‍

My favorite way to start any morning is a walk with my dog. We go to a park nearby and play with a frisbee, I usually listen to music or a podcast on the walk. There's a favorite spot of mine in the park where you can see the mountains in the distance and it's the highlight of my morning.

This sounds like an ideal morning 😍

Tea please...keep it coming! 🍵

[Bri]

What's your favorite kind of tea? 👀

[Professor_Zoom]

@Bri I like all kinds.  To start the day though, I begin with a cup of Black tea, followed by a cup of Oolong.  I generally stop with the caffeine there, and proceed to herbals only.  I often follow with a Ginger/Turmeric blend, and/or a Dandelion Root tea.

Sounds yummy! I've heard great things about dandelion root tea 😍

Making a latte in the morning is definitely a ritual for me 😊

[Bri]

I love lattes too 😍

My favorite mornings are when I wake up a bit earlier to take my dog for a long walk before it gets too hot out (it's already hot by 6:30 AM here). I follow that up with making myself some breakfast and iced coffee, and catching up on the news or reading a bit before I log on for work! 

[Bri]

Oh, that sounds lovely! What are you currently reading? 📚

[PK]

It is 😊 I just started The Last House on the Left by Diane Chamberlain.

At my age, I like to joke that "just waking up" is the best part of my day.  But my routine starts early, with my wife and I both having coffee together while we catch up on email and news on our iPads.  Then I take her to work -- she can drive, but doesn't really like to, especially when it's dark out (we're on the road about 4am).  I love to drive, and taking her to work (and picking her up around 1pm) gives me another hour with her each day, just the two of us in our 45mpg 11-year old Prius.
