The morning breeze has secrets to tell you. Do not go back to sleep.
Jalalud’din Rumi,
1207-1273, Persian poet
Sid Savara has written a great article about paying yourself first with your time. In short, get up early in the morning and give yourself time working on yourself before everyday life demands your attention.
I feel great when getting up early, if I have received enough sleep that is. The city hasn´t woken up yet and that makes for a good moment to meditate, read, journaling and other things that nourish me.
