The alarm on my cell phone goes off. That means that it's morning. I snooze three times and then I get up. I go into the kitchen. I turn on one of the burners on the gas stove. A large pot of water. I go into the bathroom. I wash my face. Deodorant, then I comb my hair a bit. Go into the closet. Put on underwear and socks. A pair of trousers. A wife beater. I go into the kitchen. The water is boiling so I pour a cup of coffee. Make a sandwich. Sit down at the kitchen table. Turn on the radio that is preset to P3. News. Morgonpasset. I pour in a bit of soy milk into the coffee. Take a bite of the sandwich. And another. Eat it up. Brush my teeth. Take my bag. Tie up my shoes. Lock the door and go down to the bus. Get on the bus. It rolls down the hill.
The alarm on my cell phone goes off. This means that it's morning. I don't snooze. I get up. I sit on the floor in the living room and put on a meditation CD. I sit and close my eyes for 30 minutes. When the disc is finished, I get up and stretch my arms towards the ceiling. I go into the bathroom. Wash my face. Put on deodorant. Go into the closet. Put on underwear and socks. A beanie. A pair of trousers. A shirt. I put on a tie and tie it. I go into the kitchen Take a couple capsules of Omega 3 and a large glass of water. Swallow the capsules. Drink the water. Brush my teeth. Put on some perfume. Leave the bag behind. I take the mobile phone and notebook with me. The calendar and wallet. Keys. Lock the door and go down to the bike. I get on the bike. Roll down the hill.
Required time:
It doesn't take more time than usual. It may even take less time.
Cons:
Your body can become confused if it doesn't get a cup of coffee every morning if it is used to it. But confusion is not necessarily bad. It's good to shock your body. You wake up everyday to the coma.
Pros:
You get there in a different way. You face life on your toes. Breaking routines doesn't mean you have to go backwards to work while barking like a dog. It is about making active choices and not being in a rut of a routine, slowly moving forward.
