Reclaiming the first hour of the day. A simple pledge to look at the sky before looking at your phone, computer, or television.
"We were camped in the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Colorado in 2015. She said to me 'Sky before screens'. That's how it started."
"The sky is an infinite movie, if only we'd look up."
For millennia, humans began their day by assessing the light and the horizon. This connected us to the natural world and regulated our internal clocks.
Today, we trigger stress before we've even taken a breath. Sky Before Screens is a return to sanity.
Simple ways to incorporate the sky into your morning routine.
Enjoy your first drink of water or coffee while outside. Let the natural light fill your vessel and your vision.
Step outside and place your bare feet directly on the earth. Spend time feeling the dirt, dew, grass, and soil to reconnect with the planet's rhythm.
Find the horizon line. Inhale as your eyes scan from left to right, exhale as they scan back. Repeat five times.
Commit to viewing the sky before your first screen for one week.
