Morning hour

The first hour after waking up is the most invigorating time of the day.

Like the beginning of a new relationship, everything can be exciting and unknown, we are waking up to new possibilities and opportunities, living at the edge of the present moment.

If you can hold off on your routine, rest in this lingering dreamy state, and feel it out, well, you might discover something about yourself.

Feel it out

Check-in with your state of mind. How well rested are you? Don’t measure your sleep in time alone, the body is always honest about how well it could support your adventures today. If you feel a little off, worry not, you have the whole day ahead of you to improve and prepare for a better morning that is just around the corner.

Take care of priorities

Whatever your current fitness goal is, there is no reason you can’t get a head start in the morning. Doing a few sets of pushups, do some stretches, hang on a bar for a minute or two. Look for some familiarity with your body; it had supported your endeavours yesterday and came through the workout with you. Find your baseline for the day, and prepare for the continuation of yesterday’s work.
