Checking social media as soon as I wake up is a habit I broke a while back. I am not perfect about it but I replaced that compulsion with a short meditation while I drink my coffee, then a gratitude list on an app on my phone. I started this when I first got sober and it has done wonders for my mental health. No news, no social media, (Tattle!) etc before 9ish. This makes me sound awfully precious I know, sorry, and I don't always follow my own rule! But getting ragey over Twitter first thing in the morning sets the tone for the whole day."that's why I don't get up early as a rule"

Does she not take her child to school? Does she not get up with him to make his breakfast or have a morning chat?![]()
Edit to add: I am an hour ahead of the UK, it's 9.30 here
