My morning routine usually starts with me waking up at 6 am and sitting on the couch with a cup of tea.

I’m often hit by the feeling that I need to start doing stuff as soon as I wake up. There is a sense of anxiety behind this feeling. It feels like if I don’t get stuff done then something bad will happen. It’s very unpleasant.

This morning I decided I would give myself some time to just sit and do nothing with the intention of being present with myself and my surroundings.
