I usually start my day with a gentle guitar riff, something like “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. It’s simple, bright, and every chord feels like the first light on a new horizon. It’s the only thing that gets me out of bed before the alarm buzzes.

I’m glad it hits right. I try to play a little acoustic version of that tune before I even get out of bed – it’s my ritual to make the morning feel like a rehearsal for something great.
