My working hours have changed.

Before last week I could go into the kitchen at 6am and make my breakfast and lunch for the day etc before leaving for work.

This meant I could still get up at 5am and comfortably do my morning routine of Stretching, breathing, Meditation, reading etc before my day started in terms of ‘what had to be done’.
However as of last week my day starts at 5am.

I’m not prepared to get up at 4am to do my routine because regardless of the marketing out there, I need my sleep but I don’t want to go to bed at 8pm, it’s not practical for me – 9pm is early enough!
At this point it’s normal to ‘give up’ and say we can’t fit it into our life styles.
The truth is the alternative may not be perfect but there’s usually ways to adjust our routines to fit our time frames however tight. In the cop show SWAT they say before a raid ‘stay liquid, fill the gaps’.
Stay liquid means looking for opportunity when there doesn’t seem one.
Now I make my lunch the night before. As soon as I rise at 5am on the dot I wash up and brush my teeth.

I stick my head phones on and listen to either a podcast or affirmation type stuff to prime my state.
Then I prep my breakfast. Instead of always eating at the table I ‘take it to the floor’ as @tony Riddle talks about.

I create a low table and squat to eat to increase my flexibility and do my stretching out.

Then when I leave the house I do a breath routine to the train.

Then on the train I meditate or do some de- concentration work.
I still get my routine done and start my day right.

It’s not as good as a free hour as before, but the work gets done.

There is always a way if it’s important we just have to STAY LIQUID.
