Love quiet mornings to yourself when the world is still sleeping? Feel your best when you have all the time to yourself while you watch the sunrise?
Well, early risers, you’re in for a treat, as today we’ll explore some of your unique traits!
1. Embracing Mindfulness with Every Sunrise
Quiet morning lovers are gurus of mindfulness. They understand that starting the day with silence, and being with themselves gives them the opportunity to set the tone for the day. Whether through meditation, simple breathing exercises, or even just being in deep focus, their minds are clear and they know what they want for the day.
This practice becomes a great hack for productivity and mental clarity, leaving them feeling fulfilled before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.
If you’ve ever met someone who’s calm in a busy world, chances are they value a mindful morning routine.
2. Appreciating the Simple Pleasures
People who enjoy quiet mornings often enjoy simplicity too. Small moments of joy can fuel their morning souls, either from a slow-brewed cup of coffee, a perfectly toasted slice of bread, or the gentle rustle of leaves outside their window.
Over time, they’ve built a habit of not needing fancy things to be grateful for life. But rather, they have a true appreciation for life’s subtle treasures, enjoyed without anyone hurrying them.
Try joining them one day; you will find pleasure in the mundane, and you’ll find more to be grateful for in life.
3. Being More Connected to Nature
While the world sleeps, nature is still in action. When early risers wake up, their first soundtrack is nature’s calling.
The chorus of bird chirps, the gush of the wind, or the distant sound of the ocean waves have become part of their morning rituals, grounding them in a way that modern music can never replicate.
They are undoubtedly more appreciative and connected to nature’s offerings.
4. Finding Focus Before the World Wakes
Before emails and notifications flood their devices, before the day begins with its demands, early risers have the opportunity to work on themselves in solitude.
This quiet period helps them to focus on things they want to achieve for the day, or if they’re in deep thought, allowing ideas to grow without being interfered with other people’s thoughts and distractions.
Try this out one day. You’ll find it way easier to focus when you’re alone.
5. Self-discipline and a Focus on Personal Growth
To be able to wake up before the sun rises consistently takes some serious discipline. These early risers are able to reject the comfort of their beds to get their day going as early as possible—how many of you can actually do that?!
Having this self-discipline also makes these individuals crazy focused on self-improvement. Whether it be reading, learning from an online course, or simply doing daily exercises, those who love quiet mornings never pick the easy way out and are always ready to achieve their goals.
6. Leveraging the Power of Routine
Morning enthusiasts often have a routine that they stick to as well. Coffee first, read the paper, and go out for a walk. Or drink a glass of water, hit the gym, and get to work. The constant routine provides comfort and structure to their mornings; it’s like second nature to them at this point.
This gives them the ability to practice anything well, because as soon as they can incorporate it as part of their routine, I can assure you they’d be masters of it in no time.
For example, if someone has a goal of reading the book, if they make it into routine to read the book for ten minutes after coffee, it’ll be part of their lives sooner than later compared to someone who doesn’t have a routine!
Crafting Your Own Quiet Morning
Inspired by this read and want to be part of the early riser club? Start by waking up 30 minutes earlier than you usually would. Once you get used to it, slowly set the time back by another 30 minutes. Repeat until you reach your desired time to wake up.
It’s also essential to have a consistent sleeping schedule so your body is accustomed to it!
Lastly, pick a ritual or routine. Whether it’s sipping tea, meditating, or simply gazing out the window, choose activities that wake you up and nurture your soul. With time, you’ll create mornings that foster peace and productivity, setting the tone for an enriching day.
