When I wake up each morning, I gravitate towards positive thoughts that help my healing and keep me in a good state of mind for the rest of the day.

The first thought of the day isn't chosen by anyone. It arrives while you are still half in the room, usually carrying whatever was unresolved at eleven the night before.

What's available is the second thought.

Whether the phone comes into the bed. Whether you get as far as the window. Whether the first thing you do is small enough to be finished.

Nobody gravitates anywhere at seven in the morning by deciding to. What people do is build a short, dull sequence and follow it while barely awake, and let the mood catch up afterwards.
