I think about something positive first thing in the morning

Whatever you look at first gets to set the terms. Open the phone before your feet are properly on the floor and the tone of the day has been handed to a stranger with an agenda, before you had any say in it.

The alternative is not elaborate. Ten seconds of something actually in front of you. The light doing whatever it is doing, the fact of the kettle, one thing you are mildly looking forward to. A small claim on the morning, staked early, before anything else gets there.
