I am a early riser. Always have been. Between 5 and 5.30 like clock work,no matter how late i go to sleep at night.

Why do wake up that early there is no reason for me to be up that early. And why do i I have to jump out of bed as soon as my eyes open?

Why cant I like others just turn around and snooze again or just stay in bed and chill for awhile.?

I have to be up, make my bed, go downstairs make coffee. I have to sit in my favourite spot in lounge or on patio for atleast 30 to 40 minutes doing nothing.;) After that i will start my day by doing whatever needs to be done.

I could have done nothing laying in bed too for that 30 or 40 min!

This is my norm and its been like that for years and years and years.. i would even ger slightly annoyed if anything interupts my 30/40mins of doing nothing in the mornings.

Are you a get up and go person. A get up and be still person or are you the snoozer or the hell raiser when you wake up.?

I understand this by heart...

Being still for a while in the morning is the best gift you can give yourself....

I think of it...
As taking my best energy for myself...
Trying to navigate life and think deeply about everything.

I also like to wake up early and start the day with some me-time. It's energizing. Days without this ritual must be really special to compensate for not doing it.

@Kylie, I like the way you said it - giving yourself a gift every morning.

@kelly.. it is great that you do harvest energy for yourself first;) if we dont we wont have any to share with our wonderfull clients;)

@henryA.. sure it has to be very special to make it worth skipping :)

I am only like this at home in my own space doing normal living;)

When on a all nighter with a client or weekend breakaway or a holiday trip... i dont feel that need to jump up and just sit and do nothing alone ;)

i then seem to want to then just savour that few extra moment in bed....or get up and go do things;) i am weird i know lol

I'm a early riser too.

The first thing I do in the morning is meditate then morning gratitude and frequency before I do anything else

It really does make a difference to my day if I get to sit and just be for a while before needing to "get the day started"

Our lives are so busy, it is too easy for the days to slip away without any time with ourselves, for ourselves.

@MissRed, nothing weird when you can live in the moment. Happy you and happy gentlemen :)

Not sure if it is the same, but i need an hour to read my newspaper. If you want me grumpy the whole day, take away my newspaper early in the morning! :-)

Its the same i think..;) lol i use to love reading the newsaper..but have converted to online its just more convenient for me lately.

The early morning is the calm before the storm, that moment where I can have the first cigarette, browse the headlines and sip on the cup of coffee....reflecting on the day ahead....

Just enjoying the quietness while it lasts
