UNBROKEN MORNING

Dear Beta Reader,

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

What you're holding was born at 4:52 AM on a Tuesday morning when everything changed. This is my story of going from breakdown to breakthrough, plus the morning practices that transformed my life.

I wrote this for people who wake up feeling lost. People ready to reclaim their mornings and remember who they really are.

Your feedback will help shape this book before it helps others around the world.

Your transformation starts now.

With love and morning light,

R.R. ❤️

I didn't plan to write a book.

I was just trying to stay alive... one hour at a time.

And somewhere between the quiet breakdowns and the loud silences,

these pages started to appear.

I don't know if they're polished.

But they're honest.

And maybe that's enough for now.

If you're holding this in your hands,

maybe you've been carrying too much... for too long.

I don't have answers.

But I have mornings that nearly broke me.

And I've learned that what breaks us... sometimes teaches us how to begin again.

So, I started writing. Quietly. Slowly.

Before I even knew what it was becoming.

And from those quiet mornings,

the 30-Day 4:52 AM Method slowly took shape.

What These Pages Are Made Of

When I started paying attention to when the pain first hit in the morning, I began thinking about how to fix it. There's no time more important than those first few hours of the morning - they're the most crucial hours of the day and of our entire lives. If we could gather up every single morning hour from our whole lifetime and lay them out in front of us, we'd see a whole separate life running alongside our regular one - and it's the most important life we'll ever live. Because how those mornings hours go determines our mindset and what we accomplish for the rest of the day and the rest of our lives.

And maybe - maybe - there's something in them that might help you stand again.

Just moments. One breath at a time.

If you're holding it now, maybe you needed it too.

And I'm glad we found each other here.

Because how your morning begins... changes everything.
The first few hours after you wake up decide more than you think.
Your mood. Your focus. Your energy.
Your sense of control over your life.

And when those hours are rushed, heavy, or numb
you spend the rest of the day trying to recover.

But when they start with breath, with choice, with intention
you become the one who decides what this day will mean.

That's why we begin here.

This is the kind of space you move through slowly...

with breath, with pauses, with something quiet waking up

inside you.

These next 3 days --part of a 30-day journey--were made for people who need a softer place to land.

But I'm offering them now as your place to begin with momentum

Somewhere to breathe again.

To find pieces of themselves that got quiet.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Each day contains:
Stories about difficult beginnings and how I was able to gradually transform from dark feelings and thoughts into beginnings that serve my goals.
Those thoughts that would strike my day every morning without my permission ... now I can feel the brightness of the mornings that give me the power of acceptance, which is more important than change.
In fact, it is the key to change. You must first accept, then change what you want in order to reach your desired goals.
You will sometimes find morning exercises, and other times evening exercises, depending on each day's story throughout this thirty-day journey ... which is why I called it "The 30-Day 4:52 AM Method".

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS

WHEN RESISTANCE SHOWS UP

Maybe your body goes tense.

Maybe your thoughts get loud.

Maybe part of you wants to leave.

That's not a sign to stop.

That's where it gets real.

Stay anyway.

A GENTLE REMINDER

This space is yours.

Just you...sitting with a page,

breathing into what it might open.

Close the tabs. Silence the world.

This is your time.

We'll begin the way healing often begins...

quietly, gently, in the middle of a breath.

Take out your favorite notebook.

Write two words on the first page:

Me Time

Let this be your place.

A quiet reference.

A return to you.

on a Tuesday morning, I realized I had become the walking dead. Successful on paper, empty inside. If you picked up this book, chances are you know exactly what I mean. This is the story of how I came back to life... and how you can too.

They forgot me... but I was busy remembering myself.

Two years of my life just... slipped away. I was present but absent, helping everyone else transform while I faded into the background of my own story. You're probably wondering right now - who am I and what do I do?

Well, I'd built a thriving coaching practice helping thousands transform their lives.

I held a Master's in Mental Health, a PhD in Coaching, and was trained in therapy techniques, subconscious work, hypnotherapy, and Slavinski's PEAT. I had developed proven systems that created real, lasting change in people's lives.

Until one 4:52 AM morning changed everything.

Here's what I didn't tell anyone...I maintained the appearance of being present ... posting content, showing up to Zoom calls, helping others transform their lives while mine imploded behind a ring light.

Ten years of changing lives, and then I hit an invisible wall I didn't see coming. Then suddenly I couldn't even answer a simple email without feeling overwhelmed.

Burnout is sneaky like that - it creeps up on you while you're busy being successful."

The Battlefield of Morning

One morning, in the middle of all that numbness, I suddenly remembered what mornings used to feel like. And I missed it so much, I didn't even realize I missed it... until I did.

I remember how every morning used to start with me welcoming the sunlight through breath awareness. And I would step into my day with a sense of curiosity... asking, what new positive thing awaits?

I'd open my planner, full of appointments, and somehow feel like everything was smiling at me. The parrot would greet me with its whistle. I'd enjoy my breakfast. Work felt filled with passion and strength and love. Creativity overflowed.

And yet... despite all the success I had reached, one day I woke up and realized that my competitors... less qualified but more famous... had taken my place.

People forget quickly.

I sat there watching people basically copy my ideas ... add a few filters, slap some cute hashtags, and suddenly it's "theirs."

They were getting the followers, the opportunities, the recognition that once had my name on it. Their content was less deep... but it spread faster.

That's when it hit me.

And I mean really hit me, like a slap I'd been avoiding.

✨The bitter truth of the digital world hit me:

Visibility matters more than expertise when you're gone.

I didn't want to teach anymore.

But I still remembered what had helped people survive.

I thought I had time to find my way back.

I didn't.

Grief doesn't wait for your recovery

What I didn't realize was how quickly the world would move on without me.

That unfairness left me completely powerless.

Just because I focused on depth instead of trends and flashy presentation, I was forgotten. I couldn't handle this and stopped training and creating content suddenly, even though the same message was still burning inside me - helping people and making them happy.

This is where the internal conflict came from that froze me for two years.

Here I was, the woman who could fix anyone... except herself.

I had all the tools... but I couldn't use any of it on myself.

Teaching others had been my oxygen. Now I couldn't even

summon the energy to help myself.

And that... broke something inside me.

All those years of mastery, all those tools... and yet, when it was me, I froze.

So, what did the expert do in her darkest hour?

I played Supermarket Simulator. For months.

Yes, it's a real game. And yes, I finished it 100 percent. Happily.

I was definitely escaping... I won't deny it. At the same time. I was chasing any tiny spark of dopamine. And honestly,

something about completing the game... it challenged me.

I wanted to finish it. Well.

It was just me and the game... Reconnecting with something I had forgotten... What it feels like to actually finish something... and feel it land.

The Awakening

Until that Tuesday morning... because it's always a Tuesday... when I'd had enough.

That's when I remembered something.

I dug through my old notebooks... coffee-stained and filled with half-formed ideas... and finally tried my own coaching

techniques on myself. The same morning rituals I had once tested on myself first... long before I ever shared them with the world... the ones I knew worked... but somehow forgot to reach for when it was me who needed them.

That was the day I started waking up with a different question.

It wasn't the alarm.

It was something before that.

A weight I couldn't name... just there, sitting between my ribs.

I moved because I had to.

The body knows how to pretend.

Shower. Clothes. Car. Work.

Smile when spoken to. Say "Thanks, you too" like I mean it.

But somewhere along the way, I stopped registering moments.

Evening came, and I couldn't tell you what happened between the morning and now.

The fridge blinked back with things I didn't want.

The TV played noise I'd already heard.

And the phone lit up with people I couldn't respond to.

Nothing was wrong exactly.

But nothing felt alive either.

There was this ache...

like I had left the room a long time ago

and no one noticed.

I lay there in that stillness,

Maybe trying to understand it.

Or maybe Just breathing through it.

And right before sleep,

a small breath came.

Quiet. Uncertain.

But something about it felt honest.

Like a part of me had been waiting there the whole time.

It's 4:52 AM. Still between sleep and being awake. And the first thing that hits my mind? Pain. The pain of what my manager said after I worked so hard to please him. The pain of that bill that's due today. The pain of all those loans. All these mental pains just flooded me like a morning shower... even before I opened eyes or turned off the alarm.

You'd be surprised how much those first thoughts in the morning reveal. They sneak in before your logic wakes up. You don't have to fix them. Just notice them. What if noticing is enough to loosen the grip they've had on you? Like finding an old note in your coat pocket... you don't even remember putting it there, but it still tells a story. Let this morning tell you yours. Even the fog has a shape.

✨ The First Truth

That "no pain, no gain" thing I used to tell myself? All it really gave me was more pain. And boredom. And that strange kind of tiredness that doesn't even feel loud... it just sinks into everything.

That bill sitting in my inbox, waiting to decide how the rest of the day will feel

The big dream I had, now just a sticky note buried under my coffee mug

Mornings that feel exactly like yesterday. And the day before. And the month before

Here's what I actually did for way too long:

First thing when I wake up... That stupid thing my manager said to me. Another morning. Oh great, bill is due today.

These are literally the worst thoughts to start your day with. I'm not thinking about goals or success or hope. Just that damn bill. The fear had basically taken over the first breath of my day. And I didn't even notice until one morning I found myself saying, without meaning to:

"You're already behind."

Think about that: Waking up, and your first thought isn't even saying hi to life... It's basically a death sentence for your day.

Here's What's Actually Happening

Those first thoughts that show up in the quiet... they actually tell you more than you think. They arrive before logic, before plans. Sometimes they carry old fear. Other times, a quiet ache that doesn't have a name yet.

Just notice what shows up before your mind puts on its armor. Like finding a forgotten note... faint handwriting, but it still holds part of your story.

That's where this day begins.

Quick Break

Let me tell you what happens before bedtime:

Brain: "Let's relive that 2016 embarrassment."
Heart: "What if we die alone?"
Stomach: "You know what'd fix this? Nachos."
Me: "God help me."
Where I am: In my bed. Or in a circus?
Dear body... It's bedtime, not showtime.

Well, if you're feeling completely drained today... you're still

standing. Still feeling. Still choosing.

And that alone makes you braver than anything hollow.

💡Today's Mission- Day 1

It's Not That Complicated

You don't have to fix your whole life by 10 AM. You don't even have to feel brave yet.

Just notice when that pain speaks first. Because even that... is a kind of rebellion.

That act of noticing? It's the first crack It's the first crack in the wall you didn't know was keeping you stuck.

You can't put down a burden you haven't admitted you're carrying.

Here's how you'll know if this weird little exercise actually worked: tomorrow morning ... and I'm talking about the first 30 seconds after you open your eyes ... Notice whether there's even the tiniest shift

Maybe your breathing feels a little calmer. Maybe that first thought isn't quite as harsh. Maybe you don't

immediately reach for your phone like it's a life preserver. We're not looking for miracles here. Even just a 1% shift.

Just a small signal that you're still in there, behind all the noise.

🌙 Evening Reset Day 1

The "Too Simple" Night Ritual

It might feel a little silly. Do it anyway.

Okay, this is going to sound weird, but... tonight, before sleep, maybe try opening the voice recording app on your phone.

I know, I know ... talking to yourself feels crazy.

Trust me, I felt like a complete weirdo the first time I did this.

Let me tell you something: I tried this for three days before I

finally, did it right.

The first time I recorded myself, I sounded like a robot reading a script.

The second time, I was so self-conscious.

I deleted it immediately.

But on the third try... I was wearing my old college sweatshirt ... the one with the mysterious stain I could never get out. And maybe because I wasn't trying so hard that night... something shifted.

I can never get out ... something shifted. And I want you to say this in your voice, not some perfect version of your voice:

"Hey, beautiful soul... you made it through today. I saw how you kept going. I noticed the moments you chose love... even when fear was louder. Your heart is safe with me. Your dreams are safe with me. Rest now. Let grace find you in the morning."

After you record it ... and please don't delete it because it sounds weird, because of course it sounds weird, you're not a radio host ... just play it back while you're in bed. Let your own voice, even

if it's shaky or uncertain, soothe you.

If the recording thing feels too heavy tonight, that's completely okay.

I get it. Sometimes I still skip it when I'm having a rough day. Just say these words to yourself quietly, like you're talking to a scared kid who needs someone to tell them it's going to be okay.

"That's the whole exercise?"

Yeah.

No journal. No meditation. No task list.

Maybe later in this journey there'll be more. But for now, trust me... all you need is that voice.

Just your voice... coming back to you gently, not with pressure.

After years of working with people, I've seen this happen in front of me a thousand times: the biggest pain inside you doesn't need a complex solution. It needs a moment of truth... but it has to be real. No rushing. No performing.

Most people fall into the trap of dramatic change... and they collapse faster than they started.

But you? Tonight, all you need to do is:

place your hand on your chest... and whisper:

"I'm still here."

✨What's Really Happening?

When you say those three words, something shifts...

Your body comes back down to earth

Your heart takes a moment of tenderness

Your nervous system remembers it's safe

And the running you've been doing... quiets for a moment

Three words. But inside them is a peace you'd forgotten.

☀️Tomorrow Morning

When you wake up... Start by noticing how it feels... without naming it.

Was your breathing calmer? Was your first thought kinder? Is there a different feeling in your body?

The magic isn't in the complexity. The magic is in returning... once, twice, a thousand times. But gently.

Tonight: Hand on chest. True word. And your sleep will be calmer.

Sweet Dreams Reminder

You don't have to be perfect. You don't even have to be ready. You just need to show up... real. Tomorrow is a blank page. And you're still the one holding the pen.

The Quiet Things That Stay

I've seen it over and over.

Exhausted people... worn out... tried everything. Massive plans. Perfect habits. Strict systems. Strict systems. But they never really changed anything.

And then? They try something ridiculously simple. Like this exercise.

"And at first... they smile, almost embarrassed. 'This? This tiny thing is supposed to fix what I've been carrying for years?'

And then? They come back to me and say:

"R.R.... I don't understand why this exercise is the one that stayed in my heart. But it stayed."

A breath they'd been holding

A phrase that kept echoing in their mind

A moment of calm where they felt like they'd come home

And suddenly... the thing that seemed trivial became the only thing that worked.

Because simplicity isn't shallow. Simplicity is clean. Honest. And loyal.

And the thing that's honest... stays. It doesn't disappear.

Tech Tip:

Before you start... turn on "Do Not Disturb." This is your moment. No notification is more important than your peace.

What Clients Say

"I never believed two minutes could change my sleep... but I felt like I stopped carrying the day with me to bed." ... Sarah, 34

"At first, the recording felt weird. Now it's the most tender thing I do for myself. Like I'm holding my own soul as I sleep." ... Maya, 28

Tonight's Reflection

Before you sleep... complete this sentence quietly inside you:

"Today, I chose ____________, and I'm proud of that."

It could be you chose rest. Or honesty. Or just to keep going when you were tired. Whatever it was...

It matters. And your heart knows.

Ready for Tomorrow?

Day One is complete. You've taken the first step back to yourself. Tomorrow, we'll explore what happens when you wake up feeling like you've become a stranger in your own life. Because recognizing the problem? That was today. Tomorrow, we start the real work of coming back home to who you are.

Sleep well. Your morning ... your real morning ... is waiting for you.

5AM like every day.

Same alarm sound. Same ceiling.

Same thoughts jumping on me before I even open my eyes.

I got up and went through my morning routine like always.

But after brushing my teeth, something hit me.

There's no real difference between me and a robot.

You know... something we invented for the boring, repetitive stuff...

so, we could free ourselves to do something better.

But here I am.

Becoming that robot.

Walking through the same doors.

Seeing the same people.

Opening the same emails.

I don't know when it happened exactly.

One day started to look like the one before.

Then another.

And another.

Until I couldn't tell which was which anymore.

It's like we keep going... like nothing's wrong...

even while something keeps breaking inside. Just so we can chase this idea of a "comfortable" future.

And honestly?

I don't even remember choosing this.

When did I agree to this version of life?

I look around the office, and everyone's doing the exact same thing.

Same fake smile when the boss walks by.

Same complaints, same stories.

Same meaningless lunch conversations.

Something inside me started buzzing...constant.

I didn't know where else to go inside me.

So, I played a podcast on my way to work.

And I heard this line:

"Your gratitude is the secret to your happiness."

It stayed with me longer than I expected.

So, I asked myself...when do I feel grateful?

But how can I feel grateful when I'm stuck in this repetition I can't stop?

The only space I get is on the weekend.

Maybe then I can actually feel something close to gratitude.

But even that time after work... it's just two things.

Either I'm cursing in my head at the person who pissed me off today...

which is almost always someone different...

my manager, my colleague, my client.

Or I'm on my phone, bored, scrolling through Netflix.

Even when I pick something to watch, something I supposedly "chose,"

I'm not really watching it.

I'm just consuming.

Like a machine burning through fuel, it doesn't even taste.

My eyes are open, but I'm not seeing.
My ears are open, but I'm not hearing.

Saturday came.

I thought... maybe this is my window.

Maybe I can feel something again.

I sat down.

No phone. No noise. Just me.

And I tried to list what I'm grateful for.

Health. Family. Job. House.

But even then... nothing moved.

The words were just words.

❝The podcast made it sound like I could just program myself to feel something.

But I couldn't.❝

I reached a point where even the solution didn't feel worth it.

I had no passion to try it.

It felt like being a phone with a dead battery trying to charge itself.

And I honestly don't know anymore...

if I'm a robot, or just not here at all.

Unbroken Action -- Day Two

The Soft Work of Returning to Yourself

You don't have to change your whole life.

Just notice the parts you keep disappearing from.

Today isn't about doing more.

It's about feeling even one small moment a little deeper.

1. Where Do You Rush Yourself Most?

There's always a part of the day where you push past yourself ...

where your body moves, but your soul stays behind.

Take a slow look at these pieces of your day:

• Waking up

• Preparing food

• Working

• Talking to people

• Getting through the evening

Which part feels like a blur?
Which one leaves you emptier than you came in?

The moment I tend to rush through: →

_____________________________________________________________________

What it costs me to keep rushing: →

_____________________________________________________________________

2. Choose Slowness ... Once

Slowness doesn't need to be all day.

Just once.

Pick one small thing you normally rush ... and don't.

Today, I slowed down when: →

_________________________________________________________________

And for a moment, I felt: →

_________________________________________________________________

You don't have to love the moment.

Just be there long enough to notice it.

3. Sit With What You Usually Fix

Let Your Body Lead

We're so trained to fix things fast:

Moods. Silences. Pauses. Sad faces.

But what if you didn't?

Let yourself sit ... even if it's uncomfortable.

Before you speak. Before you text back. Before you explain. Stop.

And ask:

"What is my body saying right now?"

Is your jaw tight?

Is your chest heavy?

Is your stomach nervous?

The moment I didn't fix or fill anything: →

_____________________________________________________________________

What showed up in the quiet: →

_____________________________________________________________________

I paused before reacting during: →

_____________________________________________________________________

And this is what I noticed in my body: →

_____________________________________________________________________

💭 You don't need to analyze it...Just notice. That's the work.

4. Find Your Quiet Win

Before sleep tonight, don't review the whole day. Just find one quiet win.

One moment you didn't disappear.

One moment I stayed with myself today: →

_____________________________________________________________________

And how that felt inside me: →

_____________________________________________________________________

Even if it wasn't graceful

Even if no one saw it.

You saw it.

And that counts.

Just now.

Let now count.

Even if it's half-broken.

Even if you're not sure it's working.

Let this now be yours.

🌙 Tonight's Commitment:

Choose ONE small thing from today's practices to carry into tomorrow. Not because you have to be perfect, but because small consistencies change everything.

What will you choose?

□ The 10-second pause when I notice rushing

□ Asking my body what it needs before reacting

□ Protecting one moment of slowness

□ Other: ___________________________

💡 What readers say about Day 2:

"I realized I wasn't living, just existing on autopilot."

- Mike K.

4:46 AM

The room is still. Nothing loud

The kind of silence that carries stories inside it.

Or maybe... I'm just tired in a way that doesn't show.

Like I ran a full day in my sleep and forgot to rest after.

There's something settled behind my ribs.

Just... stuck.

It doesn't leave. It doesn't explain itself.

And I don't ask.

I haven't read the emails yet, but they already hum like noise I owe.

Even unfinished tasks seem to sigh like I'm already behind

People I haven't messaged feel like they know.

And I just... sat there.

There wasn't a next step.

Just... done.

I knew how to move. I just didn't know where to go.

The coffee machine looked back at me like it expected

something.

But I had nothing to give.

There were too many tabs open in my mind...

and none of them could load.

So, I stayed still. Because that's all I could manage. Because

silence was safer than trying. Because sometimes, the hardest thing isn't the big stuff... it's the small things.

I was completely full.

But facing the small ones.

Just... full.

I stared at the coffee machine like it was a test.

And I didn't know the answer.

I was already emptied before I began.

There were things I meant to do.

People I was supposed to be there for. Versions of myself I kept promising I'd go back to... but I never did.

Everything was in my head.

But nothing had space.

No wonder it's hard to think.

No wonder it's hard to care.

No wonder the idea of "healing" feels exhausting.

Your brain just got too good

at surviving a war, it never chose.

It's trying to protect you from a battle it was never designed to fight forever.

And because your body is responding biologically to long-term pressure,

it begins ... wisely ... to send an urgent message:
How do we stay alive without burning out?

The Moment of Lightness

And because even warriors need to laugh:

It reminded me of Rocky I,

when Rocky walks into the pet shop to see Adrian and starts. telling her jokes.

She just stares at him, stone-faced, barely nodding.

And he's genuinely confused ...

he says, "You know, people used to go crazy laughing when I told that one."

Today's Quiet Rebellion

You can't out-hustle exhaustion.

You can't checklist your way back to aliveness.

Today, the bravest thing you can do is pause for ten seconds ...

and let your nervous system know it's allowed to exist even when not producing.

Ten seconds where you are not on a to-do list with legs.

Ten seconds where you are simply here.

These ten seconds won't solve everything.

They won't erase the meetings or silence the emails or pay the bills.

But they will remind your cells:

There is a person here.

Not just a productivity machine.

A breathing, feeling, magnificent universe

disguised as someone just trying to make it through another day.

And sometimes, remembering that is the most radical act of all.

Unbroken Action -- Day Three

A Soft Landing for Your Tired Soul

Today is for hearing yourself... clearly... softly... finally.

Maybe your tiredness just wants to be seen.

To be held, not hurried.

Part 1: Notice Energy Drains

Where Your Energy Quietly Disappears

A quiet moment to notice where your energy disappears.

Like sitting with a friend and saying:

"Tell me... what's been wearing you down lately?"

"Where do you feel that drain in your body?"

Three things I keep doing that quietly leave me empty:

1. _________________________________________________________________

2. _________________________________________________________________

3. _________________________________________________________________

Three thoughts that circle back and back until I can't breathe:

1. _________________________________________________________________

2. _________________________________________________________________

3. _________________________________________________________________

One thing I'll do today to feed my soul...so I can remember what being human feels like.

→_________________________________________________________________"

Part 2: The Sacred Pause

Just presence.

Set three reminders today...not to do anything...

but to come back to your own breath.

Morning: __________

Midday: __________

Evening: __________

When you feel ready:

Stop, even for a second.

Put your hand on your heart.

Take one long, real breath.

Whisper gently: "I am more than what gets done."

What I felt in that pause: →

_____________________________________________________________________

Part 3: A Gentle Guard Before Sleep

Before sleep, place your hand on your heart. Breathe. Ask:

"What part of me stayed quietly alive today, under the weight?"→

_____________________________________________________________________

"What's one small boundary I could set tomorrow

to honor the part?" →

_____________________________________________________________________

Complete this sentence honestly:

"Lately, I've tried my worth to..." →

_________________________________________________________________."

"What truly makes me worthy is..."→

_________________________________________________________________."

One thing I'll do today that feeds my humanity,

a small act that reminds me I matter..." →

_________________________________________________________________."

Tomorrow's Tiny Shield

Look gently at tomorrow.

What's the first thing likely to drain you? Is it a task?

A name on your screen?

Name it.

Then:

Place your hand on your heart. Breathe deeply. Three times.

Say softly: "My energy matters. I choose where it goes."

Set a small intention for that moment: "I will protect my energy by..." →

_________________________________________________________________."

After it passes, take a thirty-second pause. A real one.

✱ You don't need to do more to deserve rest. You just need to remember you're allowed.

☑ Touch something alive...a plant, a pet, your own hand.

☑ Or: _________________________________________________________________."

The one I chose:

→ _________________________________________________________________."

How it shifted my energy, even a little:

→ _________________________________________________________________."

✱ Your energy isn't just worth protecting. It's what makes you... you.
