What does your morning (routine) look like?

giphy

Having read every productivity book under the sun and been on the journey to find the perfect morning routine I realised none worked for me for where I’m at right now (see also unbucket list question above). With 3 and 6 year old children, and having recently moved from Australia to Singapore where we now have to leave an hour earlier than before (when we were already usually late), my morning routine consists of waking up at least 20 minutes before my kids so I can do 15 minutes of meditation; rally kids, not check my phone until after school drop offs, coffee with my husband before starting my work day.

THE SECRET SAUCE OF LIFE

9/21

This law should exist:

§

A cap on the number of laws we can have. (Just because something is lawful does not make it the right thing to do and vice versa. There’s a place for laws but we need to be more discerning and also take more responsibility as individuals and communities).

ABOVE THE LAW

15/21

Complete the following sentences!

Perseverance is the foundation for turning challenges into successes.

Responsibility is being a parent (I could probably answer "being a parent“ to all of these sentences!)

Vulnerability is the scary, messy, but only route to authentic connections and true self confidence.

Gratitude is saying thank you so often that ordinary moments become ones of breath-catching joy.

Curiosity is a guiding compass to knowledge.

THE MISSING PIECE

20/21

What’s something you have been doing wrong all your life until recently?

Living my life the way others tell me I should (whether family, society, books), and looking for answers externally rather than from trusting my intuition and years of learned experience. Authenticity has always been a core value of mine but I’m relatively early on in my journey to live fully authentically myself and it's the most free I've felt.

NOTE TO SELF

What is it like to be you?

High octane (a challenge to keep up with); contrary; always guided by a sense of fairness; guilty of overthinking.

WO / MAN IN THE MIRROR

16/21

How can you measure whether an idea is good or bad?

By trying it out. (I wasn’t going to answer this question as this one was where my lawyer brain really kicked into action (as if it hadn’t answering other questions before this!) what do you define as an idea? How do you define "good“? (e.g. is it that an idea will lead to the outcome you intended when you first came up with the idea? What if an idea does not end up going the way you even imagined it, but the end outcome is "good“ (as you define it?). After heading a bit further down the rabbit hole I ended up with: just do the thing!)

FOOLS AND TOOLS

3/21

Transformation is:

A radical and meaningful shift towards a more sustainable, inclusive and ethical end point (in whatever context that might be). It goes beyond short-term gains and prioritises long-term impact taking into account social and environmental considerations alongside financial success. Transformation may mean removing an existing system altogether and redesigning it from scratch rather than continually patching up broken ones. But if you have to patch up broken systems around you first, you can still transform yourself from the outside in.

TRANSFORMATION TRANSCRIBED

What question would you like to ask your fear?

😱

Can we come to some sort of arrangement where you are satisfied with me acknowledging you but not serving you?
