Getting up in the morning
There are two ways to get up in the morning...
One is to identify with whatever impulses there are to get up and to stay in bed, and get caught in the drama of it.
The other is to simply watch, with curiosity, what this human self is doing. Watching the thoughts coming up. Watching sensations and images. Watching the personality do its thing. Watching the human self in the bed. Watching it getting out of bed (or not).
It lives its own life anyway. And in my experience, it does get out of the bed anyway, even without the identification and (minor) dramas.
It gets up with or without the identification, but without there is a sense of ease, clarity and effortless, and surprise as well. There is an impulse rising, and it gets up. Or maybe it gets up even without any discernible immediate cause.
