Cats in the meowning? Is it my birthday?

Waking up is a crucial state for everyone. How we wake up dictates the rest of our day, for the good and the bad. If you wake up to a blaring alarm clock, or the sound of the garbage truck beeping outside, you may be affected the whole day. What if you wake up to a nightmare? The sleeping state to existing is a tough cookie to crack. That liminal space between unconscious and conscious affects us so much, and it's important to know how you want to wake up.

  • Mornings are strange little portals between worlds. One second you’re tangled in dreams, floating somewhere deep in your subconscious, and the next you’re being dragged back into reality by responsibilities, notifications, and the vague awareness that you probably have somewhere to be. It’s no wonder the way we wake up matters so much. Those first few moments of the day set the emotional tone for everything that follows. There’s something unbelievably soft about waking up to a kitty nearby. Not the dramatic chaos goblins sprinting across your face at 5 AM demanding breakfast (though those little maniacs have their charm too). We’re talking about the gentle mornings. The quiet purring beside your pillow. The warm little loaf curled against your legs. The sleepy nose boops and whisker tickles that slowly pull you out of dreams instead of violently launching you into consciousness.
