I feel the same way about mornings. They are sacred, yet I barely ever find the will to get up and experience early mornings. This post reminds me I need to push myself out of bed before dawn every once in a while to enjoy early mornings and the feeling of "me" they inspire.
Thank you for reading and sharing this reflection, Elena. 💛 I would love to hear how about it if you choose a morning to wake up early and enjoy those lovely quiet moments!
I love this post, Lillian. Mornings are sacred for me, too, for basically the same reasons you articulate. I like how you frame the two questions, and I'll definitely be reflecting on each of them. I think I tend to have an easier time with #2 - accepting what's out of my control and making peace with it. #1 can often be a bit more difficult for me. Sometimes it takes me a long time to realize that I've been accepting something draining or unhealthy that I don't need to be accepting. I like the succinctness of the way you frame the two questions. It's helpful for thinking through them a bit further.
Thank you for sharing this, Allen. As a recovering people-pleaser, #1 has also been historically more difficult for me - and I also feel so much more embodied and connected to my own power when I do start to challenge those situations that feel draining or unaligned. I hope your reflection proves fruitful!
