I asked a couple of clients this morning when they showed up, "is getting up this early normal for you?" In order to be at the beach before class starts, I usually get up around 4 am to get done what I need to get done. This represents somewhat of a change from the past and I was interested to know how this worked out for other people. One of them said that they were kind of used to getting up early but that the regular early mornings represented something new for both of them. It occurred to me how much we take early morning for granted as a time NOT to be awake. Certainly 4am isn't normal for most people in the world we live in, but not making the morning something to rush through or just get through in order to start the day can be a really great way to get the day going. For those of us that have the time (and fortunately for me, we have clients that do!) getting to start our day at sunrise at the beach is a pretty awesome way to get going. My old mornings of sleeping as long as possible, gulping down coffee, and running out the door had their own rewards (i.e. "sleeping as long as possible"), but waking up as the day does and taking time to ease into it has been far more satisfying than I would have imagined.
