What's your morning routine right now?

Since few years ago, my morning routine is the same : I wake up at 6.30am, get dressed, wash my face and apply a little make-up, have breakfast with a coffee, brush my teeth and head off to work with a thermos cup of coffee to get the day off to a good start.

I'd like to say that I don't have time to do other things, but in fact, I often like to take the time to wake up quietly.

If I had to add anything, it would be to take time to read, to awaken myself intellectually and spiritually.

This article is a pleasure to read and very captivating.

For years, I would read right when I woke up, first thing after making coffee. Then reading changed to writing now mostly. Both options are so good for getting in the right head space for the day, like you said.

I remember the years when I didn't make time for reading or writing, and I'd rush to work. I might have a job with an early start time again one day, but I'd choose to wake up a few hours earlier to have that slow morning start. I've had my slow mornings for so many years now I don't think I could let it go.

At home, my routine today is drink water, coffee, stretch, write, make a smoothie & then do my biggest task of the day. So maybe that's editing or more writing. I'll often find time to read and do a workout later in the day, and of course spend time with people I love!
