Rugga Coffee and Conversation
'How are you today out of 10?'.........................................
There’s something about sharing a cup of coffee that invites conversation. Whether it’s with a friend, family member, or colleague, coffee breaks down barriers, providing a comfortable space for meaningful dialogue.
Having Coffee with a friend?
Simple conversation starters:
1.What’s one thing you’re looking forward to today?
2. If today had a theme song, what would it be?
3. What’s your perfect “morning person” routine — even if you never follow it?
4. Do you check your phone first thing, or do something else?
5. What’s something small that could make today great?
6. What does your ideal lazy morning look like?
7. What’s one word you want to carry into the rest of the day?
8. What’s your comfort breakfast food?
9. What kind of morning person are you: silence, music, or chatter?
10. What’s one thing that always makes your morning better?
11. What’s your go-to coffee or tea order?
Checking in with a friend
When asking someone 'Are you ok?' the default response is to say yes...........always ask twice......the second time may encourage an honest answer!
Flying solo today? Why not check in with yourself?
