What: Rise before the sun and watch the day start.

Why: Being awake when the sun comes up ensures that I experience all that the day has to offer. The extra hours before work are the best time to get routine tasks done like meditation, running and reading. The time spent watching the sun rise is also a great time for reflection, listing gratitudes and checking in with myself. The parameters for this task were at first to watch the sunrise over the water (blessings of living on the East Coast) but after a few sunrises I’ve expanded these parameters to this: purposefully and presently observe the sun rise.
