#Daily Routines

[superbat-love]

After every mission, Clark would give Bruce a hug before flying home to retire for the night. Bruce would protest and grumble but ultimately relent and let Clark hug him because he knew that Clark was accustomed to it.

One night, Clark was in a rush to get home to finish some work for a last-minute deadline and forgot to give Bruce his hug.

Bruce felt extremely restless and uncharacteristically upset. He tossed and turned in bed that night but couldn’t sleep. He rationalized that it must be due to a disruption in his daily routine.

In the early hours before dawn, Clark was suddenly roused from his sleep by the presence of someone in the room with him. Bruce, looming over him, gravely told him that he should be sleeping in bed and not at the desk. Then, he announced that he was leaving and waited for Clark to give him his goodbye hug.

Bruce got himself a goodnight hug and an extra good morning hug. After that, Bruce promptly crashed onto Clark’s bed and slept through the entire morning and afternoon while Clark was at work. Clark never forgot his goodbye hugs again after that.

i used to be a pro at morning routines.

i would wake up so early; i would drink water and meditate without my phone and journal. i was even reading through self-improvement books while listening to frequencies.

and then....well, it slowly slid away. it got harder to wake up in the mornings. it got harder to take care of myself, period. taking the meds was hard. drinking water was hard. i was waking up tired and trying to do an enormous list tired and then finally doing nothing at all.

because I thought i needed to have the perfect tiktok morning routine...or nothing.

see, we think we need to make things hard for ourselves on purpose. we feel ashamed of breaking steps down into smaller, more achievable chunks; it needs to feel like a mountain worth climbing or is it even a mountain at all? but it doesn't need to be a mountain. this is your life, and it's meant to care for and serve you. you can pre-measure your morning meds the night before. you can set a glass out. you can understand the obstacles and try to give yourself footholds. sometimes to accept grace feels like weakness, because we consider weakness as a lack of 'strength.' but what if it was the strongest, bravest thing to acknowledge your self care won't look like many others, and that's okay? it is strength. it's bravery. and I'm proud of you <3

The Subtle Art of Finding Joy in the Mundane

In the dizzying whirlwind of our modern lives, with its notifications, deadlines, and endless to-do lists, it's easy to overlook the little things. Our quest for big achievements, exotic vacations, and grand celebrations often overshadows the understated moments that make up our daily lives. Yet, there's a profound beauty and solace in the mundane, waiting to be discovered.

The Magic of Morning Rituals

Consider the simple act of brewing your morning coffee or tea. The aromatic scent that wafts through your kitchen, the warmth of the mug against your palms, and that first invigorating sip – it's a ritual that beckons a new day, filled with possibilities. It's not just about the caffeine kick, but the quiet moments we grant ourselves before the day's chaos ensues.

Nature's Everyday Theater

Look out of your window. Even if you're in the heart of a bustling city, nature is putting on a daily show. The radiant hues of a sunrise, the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, or even the rhythmic patter of rain against the windowpane. These are nature's gentle reminders of its cyclic rhythm, urging us to pause and sync our own rhythms with the world around us.

The Joy of Daily Tasks

Believe it or not, there's a meditative quality in mundane chores. The rhythmic act of washing dishes, the soft hum of a vacuum cleaner, or the therapeutic act of decluttering can be grounding experiences. They tether us to the present moment, offering a break from the incessant noise in our heads.

Conversations and Connections

Everyday joy is also about connections. A brief chat with a neighbor, a spontaneous phone call to a friend, or even the simple act of greeting your local grocery store cashier can forge bonds. It's in these fleeting interactions that we find a shared human experience.

Rediscovering Your Space

Sometimes, joy is about rediscovery. Re-read a favorite book, revisit old photographs, or rearrange your furniture. Familiar spaces and objects can offer new perspectives and insights when looked at with fresh eyes.

Wrapping Up

The art of finding joy in the mundane is essentially about shifting our perspective. It's about appreciating life's quiet moments and finding depth in simplicity. It's recognizing that while milestones and grand celebrations are significant, there's immeasurable joy to be found in the spaces in between.

In the words of novelist Alice Walker, "Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise." Life's everyday surprises, no matter how small, are the threads that weave the beautiful tapestry of our existence. So, let's cherish them.

A rested, cool, and calm me is a more productive me. It is said we are either morning or night people.

For example, it is 4 AM, and I am busy replying to office emails and sharing wisdom on this blog. I think there is more to it than a morning and night…
