It’s Monday morning. Images of the weekend flow through your mind as you snuggle deeper into your pillow, reliving them. Then you open your eyes, see the clock, remember the presentation you have to give in an hour, and, heart racing and teeth clenched, you rush to the kitchen to make coffee. That’s one version of Monday morning.

Here’s another: You set the alarm 15 minutes earlier and ease into the day by simply paying attention to your breathing. I’m talking about meditating — and if even hearing that word makes you feel antsy, bear with me for a minute, or rather 10. After all, it’s said that practicing daily for just 10 minutes could help you feel calmer and more grounded.

I had my first baby at age 21 and my first drink of alcohol at 36 — and no, that’s not a typo. I was born and raised a Mormon and, as part of adherence to my faith, I abstained from alcohol. Entirely. I never touched so much as a drop until several months after I left Mormonism at 36 with my husband and our two sons.

Mormonism is a high-intensity religion (like, even more than SoulCycle), demanding equal parts obedience and belief. Obedience was never the hard part for us, but belief? Over time, that part became impossible.

Leaving the church came with a lot of changes for us and a period of reevaluating rules by which we lived, including rules about drinking.

Open Roundup

The best weeknight dinners are the ones that require the least amount of cleanup. At the end of a busy day, no one really wants to be standing over the sink for longer than they have to, right?

Pull out the paper plates to eat (we won’t tell) if you really want minimal cleanup.
