Woke up too
early today due to the shifting habits from last week (when I was going to
sleep at 8-9 in the morning and slept through the day). So my body has been
naturally woken up at 4-5am since then. Today instead of keep goofing in bed watching
movies and unsuccessfully trying to get back to sleep I decided to go to the
beach to see the sun rise.
AND MEN OH
MEN! I enjoyed every second of it.
Before
leaving home I prepared myself 1L of cold water and a big bowl of mixed fruit (stone
fruit, mango and papaya). I put on my workout clothes took my bikini, towel,
sunglasses, sunscreen and I was ready to go!
There was
no-one in the streets. As I drove to the beach (approximately for 20 minutes),
lights on and only some early cars I turned the music off. I wanted to enjoy my
own presence. It was fulfilling. I cleared my thoughts and made some deep
thinking about what the future holds (I might write about that in a different
post).
Finally
made it to the beach and what seemed like bad news where waiting for me there. Big,
dark clouds where hiding the spot the sun was supposed to come out. In fact,
there were some smaller clouds painted in red on the edges that made me think
that the sun was already up. For a minute I regret the moment I had the idea of
going there, but slowly the clouds faded away and the area turned redder and
redder. OH! It really was beautiful. The sky evolved for about half an hour.
The sun plaid hide and seek with its early vibrant colors until it got the
altitude where the red, pink and purple where nowhere seen in the sky anymore. Therefore,
it was still an amazing view due to the reflection on the water and some low
yellow clouds that had remained there. Breathtaking.
It was the
fresh start of a new day in front of me. Nature indulged me with a great show
and I felt blessed. It was really therapeutic
because it seemed like was just me there; alone. The world wasn’t still awake
and I had a privileged spot. I felt strong and powerful and I will use this
memory whether I need a little self-confidence help from now on.
I’ll
totally go again, and you should too!
Love,
Tània.
