The Excitement I Feel Each Day

A strange but welcomed feeling of appreciation.

Is this a result of growing older? At seeing the world in a different light? I never used to feel this way? What has changed?

As far back as I can remember I’ve never been a morning person.

The very thought of waking up early used to feel like a jagged, rusty blade had just been thrust into my very core.

It would be fair to say there was a deep-seated animosity between me and my alarm clock.

I despised it.

This is no way to start your day. With such negative vibes. All it does is set the tone for how the rest of your day will most likely day play out.

Start as you mean to go on.

But thankfully, life has changed for the better.

However, I can’t pinpoint the exact moment of this transition, it didn’t just happen overnight that’s for sure. But as I meditate over the possible origin of this welcomed development it seems more and more likely to be a combination of various different lifestyle choices that over time, has led to this beautiful transformation and brought with it an overall feeling of happiness and contentment.

A Combination of Lifestyle Choices
