There are a lot of things I love about my morning routine. I love the quiet of the world before the sun comes up—it's like a secret world that belongs only to me and other early risers like me. It's my own little slice of heaven, where all I have to worry about is getting my coffee brewed just right and picking out my outfit for the day.
But most of all, what I love about waking up early is that it gives me time to reflect on how lucky I am every single day. I love the way my day starts off with a clean slate, a fresh start. I feel like I’m starting over each morning, which is why I try to make small changes in my life every day—to make myself into the person that I want to be by the time the sun goes down again.
I think this is why I'm such a morning person. It's hard to be unhappy when you're grateful for the things you have. And while many people will say that they're thankful every day, it's a lot easier to forget when your head hits the pillow at night than when it comes time to get up in the morning.
I love that I have the opportunity to reflect on my life and how good it is. I love that I'm able to find myself in a quiet space where there are no distractions or obligations—just me and my thoughts, and some really good coffee.
It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of life that you forget how amazing it is. The world is full of wonder and beauty, but if you're not careful, you might miss it all because you're too busy going about your daily routine.
And while I could probably write a whole book about how much I love waking up early, today I want to focus on just one thing: how it has changed my life for the better. If you're not already an early riser, then this might seem like some kind of crazy dream world—but trust me, it's worth giving it a try!
