Wake up for the sunrise
Left to my own devices, I’m pretty sure I would never be up in time to see a sunrise. My body is just not wired for early rising. My job though, requires that I be in most of the time before the sun comes up. While this is most definitely a mixed blessing, one thing that I’ve really come to enjoy is that I get to see some beautiful sunrises.
Generally, I like to take my coffee outside and just enjoy it for five or ten minutes. It’s really calming and relaxing which makes for a great way to start off the day. Even after getting only a couple hours of sleep after watching my alma mater get trounced by a team from the SEC (again), watching the sunrise lets me start the day off refreshed and relaxed.
Now I would be the last person in the world to suggest you wake up early solely for the sunrise, but if you are up, just try to keep an eye out the window for it and take a couple minutes for yourself. It makes a difference…
