warming up my body with a glass of water
lately I've been going to 6AM pilates classes to start my day physically and mentally
but what l love most is the drive to the studio
letting my mind wander along the empty streets
the sun rises early during summer here in Melbourne
the roads are starting to get busy and noisy
and I'm back to my safe space just before the bustling city comes to life
there's something about early morning that i can't seem to get enough of
maybe it's the peace and quite, something that is often overlooked when living in metropolitan area
maybe it's the crisp and freshness in the air before the summer sun heats up the entire Melbourne
sometimes I do contemplating staying in bed a little longer
but once I'm up early, it does feel different throughout the day
letting the light through to wake up the house
I used to think waking up early will help me cram more things into my day
at the of the day, it's exhausting to keep up with this habit
I decide to change my view of an early morning routine
it's an extension of recovery from the day before
I should start my day slow and with a positive outlook rather than rushing through it
and taking my time to brew my favourite coffee
the scent of freshly brewed coffee always make it worthwhile to spare my time and enjoy the peacefulness of early morning
my breakfast is usually quite simple
it's oatmeal or yogurt with fruit and muesli
since it's getting quite hot, I opt for an iced latte instead of my usual hot coffee
my morning routine is usually slow and simple
taking my time to soak in the morning sun
and watching the clouds passing by in the clear blue sky...
