I learned to wake up a little earlier than I need to. Not because I have to, but because I really need to.
⠀
There is something special about the silence of the morning. The air is still cool, the street hasn’t had time to hum, the world hasn’t made demands. This is my space. My territory of peace.
⠀
I don’t do anything extraordinary. I just open the window, comb my hair more slowly than usual. I make tea or coffee. I sit by the window. Maybe I write down my thoughts for a few minutes or just watch the sky lighten up.
⠀
This is not productivity. This is presence.
⠀
This simple habit has changed my day. When I start the morning with myself, and not with a to-do list, the whole day seems to breathe more evenly.
⠀
Morning is a small chance every day to choose yourself.
