每天小事-早起(4)

Everyday routine

 

每天小事

 

Wake up early

早起

 

Early in the morning I am free to start my day on my terms. By waking early, I can set the pace and create a mood that lasts the day. The quiet of my house has a soothing¹ hum that vibrates against my heart. When things get busy later, the memory of this vibration² will serve as a reminder³ to stop and wait for the silence where the truth can be heard once again.

早起可以让我自由地开始新的一天。我可以设定做事的速度，并让好心情持续一整天。寂静的房子让我的心慢慢舒缓开来。等一会儿忙起来时，这种舒缓感觉的回忆能提醒我停下来，等待可以再一次听到真相时的那种寂静。

 

Give yourself to the early morning. Begin by waking just 15 minutes sooner. Enjoy the taste of your coffee or tea a little longer. Use this time to journal, meditate⁴ or pray. Or, if you choose, sit and feel the simple joy of being alive for one more day.

让自己早起吧。可以早15分钟醒来。多享受一会儿咖啡或茶的美味。利用这段时间写写日志、冥想或祈祷。或者，你可以选择，坐着感受一下又能活着一天的那种简单的快乐。
