My second coffee is iced, made by moi. Roughly five bucks at the shop by $30 is savings of a crazy $150, no thanks. You should do that with your time too! The Tom foolery we partake in needs to be worth it. No need to over plan. Some things you can’t regain. First on the list should always be yourself, high functioning self produces rich healthy fruit. I get up early, I resigned that is the way it is, I prefer it over the 2am wake up that can last one to two hours. When I fight with myself to go back to sleep at 6:26 every morning, I just let it be. I use the first ten minutes of open eyes to consider what my day should look like.
How are you serving yourself today? Does it check off all the boxes? Will you feel good when it is done? Yes the good life starts with you. Feeling good is different for everyone, it is dependent on what stage of life you are at. I start my days with laundry, it gets the vibe moving forward, then pets while the coffee is getting ready. I am a creature of habit. These days the coffee comes with me outdoors and the rest of the day is whatever it is. I do clearly remember the hurried days with kids in the morning, and I miss it, if you are there… you will miss it.
Break your day into parts, don’t spend it all on one thing. Don’t forget to eat, not sure if that reminder is for me or you, but you know who you are. There is always bustle and hustle in a day, food prep is usually mine. A chore becoming a habit, helps it blend into the background instead of it being a chore. Add a mandatory feet up time allotment, be still and relax. Maybe you relax too much, so having one thing to accomplish can remove some of the overwhelming things that build up. Life is a train, barreling down the track, make a stop on the way, no need to derail. Be you first, the rest rolls into place
