The time is 7:21. Just woke up around 6:30, not for any particular reason except to enjoy the day to the fullest. I’ve found that if you wake up early it’s almost like saying to yourself “Yes today is going to be a great day.” Then after a while you start getting used to waking up early and going to bed early and after a while it doesn’t become a chore anymore, just a good way to start the day. Seems a much better attitude than hiding under the blankets dreading the sun on your window. Be up before the sun and wait for it instead.
I have found that as soon as I start to have conversation with myself in bed- that is a good time to wake up. It’s almost as if my intellect is just waiting for me so that I can start to acknowledge it. Reminds me how when I was a kid and I would be the first one up every morning and I would go and jump in my parents bed just to start playing. Man they hated that.
