The morning sun filtered brightly through the wide windows of Elena’s cozy apartment. Today was undoubtedly the most crucial day of her career as an urban designer. After months of intensive research, she was scheduled to present her eco-friendly city plan to the municipal council. If the council approved her design, her studio would secure the funding needed to transform the old industrial district into a green sanctuary. Consequently, every single detail of her morning routine had been meticulously planned down to the minute. She woke up at six oclock without even needing her alarm. First, she stretched on her cork yoga mat to calm her nervous anticipation. After finishing her quick meditation session, she headed straight to the kitchen. She brewed a hot pot of jasmine green tea and poured a splash of creamy oat milk into her favorite ceramic mug. For breakfast, she toasted two thick slices of artisan sourdough bread. She spread rich almond butter over the warm toast and arranged neat rows of freshly sliced bananas on top. While enjoying her nutritious breakfast, she carefully rehearsed the key points of her presentation.
