Watching the sunrise

Every single morning I set my alarm clock 10 minutes earlier than necessary. It might seem a bit strange, but those extra 10 minutes in bed are one of my favorite things to do. That small change in my morning routine can make a big difference in how I approach the day ahead. They allow me to organize my day and gather my thoughts. I love that moment of quiet before the rush of the day begins. It is a moment of peace that sets a positive tone for the day, making the early wake-up worth it. 

 

Every morning, I get to see something amazing from my window: the sunrise. That burst of colors in the sky is another thing that makes me happy. When the sun rises, the sky changes colors. It starts with purple and then turns into shades of pink and orange. It is like a big painting of the sky for everyone to see. Even before the world wakes up, witnessing the sun slowly lighting up the sky is a calm and quiet time that makes me feel really good inside. I think what I love most about it is the feeling of hope it gives me. When I see the sun rising, it feels like a brand-new start. Knowing that it is a new day and a new chance to be happy and do great things is priceless.

 

Setting the alarm a little earlier and watching the sunrise has become my secret ingredient for starting the day with a smile. It is my reminder that self-care can be as simple as giving myself a few extra minutes of rest, making the transition from sleep to reality so much better.

 

Happiness can be found in the simplest things. Everyone should find something that makes them as happy as watching the sunrise makes me. It does not have to be something big or fancy. It could be as simple as listening to your favorite song or spending time with a friend. Because in these little moments, it is where we find big happiness.
