on waking write 3 pages of stream of consciousness and get some protein and calories in you body for a functioning brain and body.
That’s what i try to do everyday (although I often get sucked into my phone first, and it’s almost impossible for the stream of consciousness writing to happen when I do, it really cuts off that post sleep brain action!). I do it while drinking a peanut punch that contains lots of protein and calories because I’m awful at breakfast and you just gotta pack in protein and calories to keep it all running.

weekends depend on what i did last night and whether i have plans that day... sometimes you just wanna be in bed for absolutely too long
i've started waking up a little bit earlier because i have been doing morning pages; 3 (ok often it's only 2) pages of handwritten stream of consciousness brain dumping every day before doing much else.
i definitely recommend trying out morning pages, but lately i've been taking too fking long to finish them because i'm on that phone

that is, free writing 2-3 pages right when you wake up. i am spiritually, psychologically, creatively transformed by morning pages. you think it’ll just help you creatively but i feel much less in my head and more out in the world after dumping my thoughts out onto the page.

But as of now:
- wake up at 5, get dressed and cleaned up, brew some black coffee and head to the nearby mosque for the morning prayer.
- hang out there for about an hour and a half reading the Quran, practicing mindfulness, meditating and just taking in the morning in quietude.
- head out, stop by my gallery or a coffee shop to do some work for a few hours.
- leave and hit the calisthenics park by the beach for an outdoor workout
- by now I am sincerely exhausted and starving so I head home, take a shower then a much needed 30-40 minute nap. by now it’s probably 10:30.
- make breakfast (my favorite part.) which consists of firstly a bowl of fruit to break my fast. 3 dates, 1 banana, some blueberries, and a passionfruit. I have that first, then I start on breakfast which is usually 3 eggs, some ground beef, sauerkraut, a cucumber, avocado, and arugula, maybe some homemade bread! have lots of water with it , then brew another cup of coffee, which is when my day officially begins!
Please note this is me on a good day lol but thankfully have been pretty consistent as of late!

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
