So the first thing I do upon waking up is practice gratitude, after which I either make myself a cup of tea or a cup of coffee, depending on the day. I'm trying to wean myself off of coffee, drink more tea, less coffee. And if I do drink coffee, it's more like midday, less in the morning, because I feel like coffee and the caffeine within coffee really does activate some anxiety or some jitters sometimes

For me to be all over the place and learning about a lot of different people, I'm definitely interested to see what it is that you write about, what kind of content that you've create, and maybe we can get to know each other. Maybe I can learn something from you, because I do love to learn. But have a great day. I'm about to get some sleep because your boy has three jobs, and I have to turn around in the next few hours

I am definitely open to connecting more and watching you grow. Also, I've never heard of you either, especially since I am on a few platforms myself on Instagram. I'm trying to get my tik tok up and going. Not sure if I'm ready to take on the massive beast that is YouTube to be very honest. But I've also podcasted for six years. I used to have a podcast called Script to Screen and now I'm relaunching a new podcast called Concerning Stories

But my morning routine involves trying to get out into the sunshine as quickly as I can and just spending at least ten minutes in the sunshine just to get in touch with my circadian rhythm and my body waking with that natural sunlight and then just a light stretch. And then from there I'll maybe drink a coffee and kind of start my day there. But often I'll write and just this morning I sat and meditated for the first time in a long time in the morning

So, yeah, I open my eyes, I give him the first fruits of my day, which is my breath, the breath that he has given me to say hallelujah and thank you, Jesus. I also, when I am lingering in the bed a little bit longer, I tend to stretch because we've been laying overnight, you want to stretch your body and get all the cracks and pops and kinks out before you put your feet on the ground

I used to be a podcaster, so this is kind of short form and it's quick and it's easy and it's a great way for me to just express a thought that comes to my mind and then just move on with my day, especially if I don't want to post it on Instagram or on TikTok or on any other kind of platform. So thank you so much for sharing your morning routine and I hope to stay in touch with you and watch our journey moving forward as well

I'm trying as much as possible to only have coffee in the afternoon if I'm going to have coffee. And it's a very specific kind of coffee, because whenever I have a coffee and creamer it seems to bother me a lot. Whereas when I have Turkish coffee or Lebanese coffee, it doesn't seem to affect me as badly. So I've shifted coffee from it being in the morning to it being in the afternoon, just like a midday boost

The coffee thing, I cannot drink coffee. I will not drink coffee after noon. Like, if I drink coffee, like, one, two o'clock, three P-M-I am going to be up for the rest of the night. Like, I won't go to bed until maybe three or four in the morning. And I know it's because of the coffee, so there's no way that I could do it in the afternoons

You can check out my Instagram. It's 29. I appreciate if you can check it out. See if you like any of them, if you appreciate art. I write poetry. I write short stories. I'm also working on a screenplay right now. I would love to share it with you. Maybe we can get to know each other a little bit better. I'm also an inventor. I got a patent pending
