Description
I hope nobody reads this, and if you do, keep it to yourself. (A nod to Steven Bartlett, who I listen to on these drives I’ll explain below.) For the past three years, I’ve been quietly battling with my mental health. My family and friends have been my rock, and their support during this time has been priceless. Lately, though, something has shifted—a real change in my mood, and it’s all thanks to 30 minutes of morning sunlight. I started this simple habit after listening to Andrew Huberman, who breaks down the science behind how morning light sets your circadian rhythm and gives you a healthy cortisol boost to start the day right.
Life’s funny, though. These days, I find myself driving before sunrise most mornings, usually to Whinlatter Forest or Buttermere. Both places are stunning at sunrise, and there’s something magical about being awake at that time, driving along these quiet, lonely roads in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK. It’s peaceful, it’s inspiring, and these moments have been shaping my next study.
By the way, thank you all so much for the support on my last piece! Whether positive or negative, your feedback means the world to me and helps me grow on this creative path. I was even able to invest in Mylar stencils—so expect more experimenting with spray paint and acrylic pens on paper. Stay tuned!
