gdmorn!

 

i woke up early dis morn., way too early. it is Saturday, and the clock hadnt even touched 4 a.m., yet there i was, already tossing and turning in bed, my mind refusing to settle. it wasnt the kind of tossing u do when ur half-asleep, hoping to drift back into dreams. no, dis was different - the kind of restless energy dat demanded i get up and do somethg.

so, i threw the covers aside, grabbed a towel, and headed straight for the bathroom. the idea of an early morn shower pulled me like a magnet. theres somethg sacred about standing under the stream of cold water when the world outside is still cloaked in darkness. the kind of freshness it brings - it is more than jst physical. darn i am not sure if u knw wat i am sayin - but it is like wiping the slate clean, preparing ur body and soul for a day dat has not even begun yet.

i’ve come to learn dat mastering my mornings is not about squeezing in productivity hacks or gearing up for some hustle-hard agenda. it is about finding stillness. those precious hours of silence, where the world is not asking anythg from u yet. no notifications, no calls, no responsibilities weighing on ur bloody shoulders. jst the quiet, uninterrupted time between u and God.

i cherish these moments. i’ve made them non-negotiable becoz they remind me of who i am beneath all the noise. in the quiet, i can feel my chest loosen. the weight of ystrday’s worries seems lighter, almost distant. my anxiety, which often feels like it is breathing down my neck, takes a step back. and in dat space, clarity rises like the slow, deliberate light of dawn.

i believe morns shape the mind. they whisper to u, set the tone for how u’ll move thru the hours ahead. if u choose chaos - waking up late, rushin thru routines, grabbin ur phone first thg - u’ll carry dat chaos wit u all day. but if u claim stillness, if u take a moment to be present and grounded, u walk into the day with a kind of armour. at least dats wat i believe in.

so, there i was dis morning, towel wrapped around me, feeling wide awake. not in the frenetic, overstimulated way but awake in my soul. i felt like  was stepping into somethg sacred, a chance to set the rhythm for my own life before the world cld set it for me.

and honestly? dats the kind of control i think we all need a little more of.
