“Most geniuses are just talented people who get up really early in the morning. – Joel Achenbach
Sleep is important. (So important it’s Day 3 of this challenge). Also important is getting up a little before you need to. I find this especially true since I’ve had children. I like to get up a minimum of half an hour, ideally an hour, before they do. This time is my SANITY. I haven’t done this very ofter over summer break and it shows. {Eeeeeeek} This is the time that is just for me. I meditate first, because that’s one of my daily non-negotiables. The remaining time I might read, write in my gratitude journal or even create my grocery list. Basically I do anything that’s difficult to accomplish once my three girls are up and LOUD moving.
Take a few moments and think about what you could do with a quiet 30 minutes at the start of your day. Maybe for you it’s a time to pray or read your Bible. Maybe you’ll make some coffee or tea and sit and drink it quietly doing nothing at all {sounds amazing}. Now, there is only rule to this challenge, it is that you NOT get distracted during this time. You know what I mean…this isn’t the time to start picking up clothes or taking the trash out, unless you find these things relaxing {I’ve heard these people exist}, because then you’ll have gone down the rabbit hole. If you don’t know what I’m talking about or just need a chuckle, watch this. I feel like this most summer days. {sigh}
Make sure you are taking this time to set the intention for your day and see how the rest of your day seems to flow better. It is life changing!
Light and Love,
