Whenever I open my eyes in the morning, everything feels quiet like all my worries has finally been laid to rest. I feel refreshed and ready to embark on new goals but the moment I sit up and face a different direction, my mind comes alive with it comes archives of things left undone. On normal days, my morning usually begins with a prayer and the next thing I do is to brush my teeth.
I can't do anything in the morning without brushing my teeth, if I delay it for just a couple of hours, I feel sick. I think this is one habit that i caught from boarding school and still remain till today but I don't just brush my teeth for brushing sake. Of all the meals in a day, breakfast is my favourite, the moment I brush my teeth, it doesn't really matter what time it is, the next thing in the agenda is to find something to shove into my throat while I get things done. It usually something light, either biscuit or fruit, I must eat something.
While chewing that the next thing is either one of two things, I either log into my Ecency app to check if I have any notifications or i open my coinmarkertcap app to see what goes on in the crypto market. I consider this two my little obsession, everything else can come after I have done these few things. Most times, the moment I open my coinmarkertcap app, it determines what I will do next, if what I see is red candles, well I consider that an opportunity to buy the dip or shorting or longing the market. It depends on how motivated I'm and the strategy I decide to deploy.
Though the reality of my life is that, I'm a goal driven person and early in the morning is when I can get the most done because I'm filled with energy but there are days when I wake up in the morning and I don't really have the courage to pick myself up. Probably there is a residual of a failed goal still lingering in my mind, on days like that, I can sleep throughout the morning just give myself sometime to get over whatever is bothering me or probably turn on some music, it usually does the think.
I discovered that, most times my yesterday tends to dictate how my tomorrow will be, I tend to carry over some moodiness from the previous day's over to a new day. It is an habit I work really hard to let go of, if my thoughts persist I tend to get into doing of house chores. This is my own form of therapy, I realise my mind wouldn't have enough energy to worry when I'm worn out after doing all kinds of house chores. While I do it, it helps me filter my thoughts and clear my mind enough to remain positive.
I wouldn't lie, for these past few weeks, with how crazy the crypto market has been, I have stayed away from checking crypto updates which is unusual for me. One thing about the crypto space is that, it doesn't care about your emotions, so as someone into crypto, this is my way of keeping my emotions in check. Which means my daily routine has changed for these past few days, well it is just for now.
