The moment I wake up

I have a variety of daily practises to keep me from losing my mind. I get up when my India wakes up around 5h45am. I brush my teeth ( I used to do oil pulling but all that mouth swirling with oil and trying to communicate with a 2 and a half year old just does'nt work). I drink 1 and half litres of water (water therapy). I light a candle to acknowlegde the day and invite spirit in. I light incense to clear the space. I make a cup of tea or coffee and if my India is busy I sit down to write. If she is'nt I sit with her and play or read books or draw. I have a revolving list of affirmations, some made up and some from various sources. This week it is one from Louise Hay which my homeopath ordered me to sing 10 times a day and it goes like this, in case anyone else needs it, "I release all that is unlike love. There is time and space for everything I want to do" When I am up early in the morning I wonder about the routines of others. I am grateful for mine and that it does'nt entail sitting in traffic. I love my early mornings, I grew up with a household of early risers and it is a habit I have been unable to shake. I woke up ridiculously early before I had a child. My husband is the opposite, he loathes early mornings. I am an early bird and he is a night owl. I love the portentiousness of the start of the day. Mornings inspire me, we get start again.
