As a kid, I was always instructed to make a pit stop at the breakfast table before running out the door for school or playing with friends. The old saying, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!” was uttered daily. After quickly stuffing a few mouthfuls of Weet Bix or Vegemite on Toast (Yes, Aussie kids, you know what I mean), I was out the door and on my way to catch the 8:04 am train from Clayton Station to my high school in Oakleigh.
Fast-forward to adulthood, and I’ve realized that pausing to sit at the metaphorical breakfast table isn’t just about eating breakfast. It’s about taking those first few moments of the day to gather myself and set some intentions.
