Daily writing prompt
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Get up at 5am, hit the bathroom, pour my cold brew, then head downstairs to write– first in a daily journal I’ve been keeping sporadically for decades, but religiously since 2017, then here in WordPress, until 7am or often after. The first hour is usually taken up with the journal and getting a start on the Daily Writing Prompt, or sometimes completing that.
When I first started what became this routine, I was still a full-time pastor, and I found the early morning quiet time good for the soul, a welcomed refuge. Anymore, it’s still the best time of day, but it’s getting a bit more difficult to answer the bell at the crack of dawn.
I can’t give it up, though. It’s one of the few things I’ve been disciplined enough to turn into a habit.
