How do you start your morning?

When it comes to how i start my mornings, i do not have a specific routine though. It mainly depends on the activities i have on ground. Each morning i often wake up between 2am to 3am or sometimes earlier. If there is power supply and i have a pending design to complete, i Start working on that, then i face other online activities till 5am. By this time we have our morning prayers. This marks the beginning of my daily activities. After prayers i go for morning walks. Then i begin my activities for the day.

I start my morning by praying, then taking a bath, and cooking my breakfast for work. I bring home-cooked food for work. I don't like to fall in line in the university canteen. There are many students falling in line too, and they are crazy hungry.

Usually I wake up fairly early, lately around 7 or 8 am, but some days I sleep in to around 9am if I'm lucky. I usually wake up, brush my teeth, smoke, and then after a little bit I eat my breakfast and start my day. Pretty simple, no frills, nothing special. On weekends I try to sleep in longer though, but that's easier said than done.

These days, I try to start my morning with gratitude because life is not easy anywhere. Even if it’s a little “thank you” is enough to make my day. After that, I check my messages, stretch a little and drink warm water like those health influencers are preaching, even though I don’t follow half their advice. If I’m home, I like opening my window to get that fresh air as it's very calming. Sometimes I even play Asake or Simi just to set my mood. That’s my little ritual.
