What is the shape of your waking, your morning? Do you roll out of bed after slapping the snooze button three times, only six hours of rest under your belt? Do you reach for the coffee to wake from perpetual sleep deprivation? Do you sit in your chair, static as a log, waiting till the caffeine kicks in so you can slog through another day? Do you scroll endlessly on your phone, using the blue light to wake you?

What is the shape of your waking, your morning?

It’s a simple question, one I’m asking you to examine today because your morning sets so much of the tone of your day. I’m convinced of it. So, grab a pen and paper, and write a thumbnail sketch of your average morning. Then ask yourself, Does my morning set me up to live awake throughout the rest of the day?

Come back tomorrow, as we consider how waking leads to waking.
