The Perfect Morning
If you ask an adult for a description of a perfect morning, most of them would answer waking up near the beach. Some of them would say they would like to wake up next to their loved one in a nice, clean sheet and then sip coffee by the beach. But to me, a perfect morning is something that isn't forced.
Most of the time, I wake up sometimes with anxiety. I feel like I am late for something. Maybe this is the aftermath of being a working student for the past few years with only 3 hours of sleep. Bi-phasal.
But this morning, everything was in tune to the forces of the earth. I don't have to wake up to the sound of my alarm, and I am free from any worries of being late. Everything was so peaceful. And light.
I like it.
I did some stretching. Uuuuuunnnnnggg! That felt good.\
As always, I get my coffee first thing. While sipping, I was scrolling on Facebook. Then self-awareness came and i thought this is one of the bad habits i need to break free of, so I decided to uninstall it.
Peace came in so fast. After that, meditation took over and I happened to stare blankly at the wall for a couple of minutes until my brain said "distractions.. feed me with distractions" and I grabbed a book.
Not good, I said. I am way too distracted."
If you think that grabbing a book would help me fight the urge to be on the screen, well...no. After 10 minutes of holding my book, I went to my computer and started to work on my presentations. Well, it is productive and I set myself to stop at 5:00am.
** I said, wow. I'm very productive. **
5am came. I said, I need to take a break. I grabbed my shoes. For the first time in six months, I learned to appreciate my neighborhood in Vietnam. I never got the chance to learn or discover where I live. So, this is indeed a great thing to start.
** I like it. I will do more of these mornings, I said." **
I went home after an hour feeling fulfilled then I continue working on with my presentations.
In my opinion, this is the perfect morning for me.
