What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Let me be honest I’m not one of those people who wakes up ready to conquer the world. My morning routine doesn’t involve meditation, cold showers, or motivational podcasts. Mine is simpler. Much simpler.

Coffee.

Coffee.

And yes… more coffee.

Those who know me will smile knowingly my day doesn’t start until caffeine hits my system. The first cup is about survival, the second is for clarity, and the third? That’s when I start functioning like a human being.

There’s a certain rhythm to those first quiet minutes: brewing the coffee, taking that first sip, and staring into the distance as I slowly negotiate peace with the morning. No phone calls, no emails, no decisions just me, my mug, and the promise of a new day.

So what does the first hour of my day look like? It’s dark roast, no distractions, and a silent agreement with the universe: “Let’s do this… but not before the third cup.”

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Every day, my mornings unfurl in almost the same, comforting routine, setting the tone for the hours to come. The moment I wake, the quest for my lifeblood begins: a steaming cup of coffee. This isn’t just any coffee. It’s the elixir that breathes life into me, transforming the groggy remnants of sleep into a ready, alert state of being.Once the caffeine has begun to weave its magic, it’s time for personal care. The act of cleansing is not just about physical cleanliness but also serves as a symbolic gesture, washing away the last vestiges of the night and preparing me for the new day with a fresh outlook.Following this, I turn my attention to my ever-impatient companion, my dog. Our morning walk is not just a routine but a ritual. As we step out into the fresh air, it’s a time for both of us to stretch our legs and for me to breathe in the new day, contemplating what it might hold. This daily pilgrimage is as much for my soul as it is for my body, offering a moment of peace and preparation before the day’s demands encroach upon my time.These morning rituals, from the first sip of coffee to the last step of our walk, are the cornerstone of my day, setting a rhythm and a mindset that helps me to tackle whatever lies ahead with a grounded sense of self.

Have a nice day
