For many working professionals, weekdays often follow the same pattern. Wake up, check the phone, get ready, and start work. But a Bengaluru woman has sparked a conversation online after showing that even an ordinary workday can begin differently. Her video has struck a chord with thousands, with many saying it is the kind of routine they wish they could make time for.
The idea behind her morning routine
Instagram user Divya Moses shared that she has been trying to make her weekdays feel more balanced instead of letting work take over the entire day.“Lately, I’ve been trying to remind myself that weekdays don’t have to be all about work.”Since her office shift begins at 12 pm, she chose to spend her mornings outdoors rather than on her phone.“My work starts at 12 PM, so instead of scrolling through my morning, I packed breakfast, made coffee, picked up a book, and spent a few quiet hours by the lake.”For her, the change was not about taking a break from work. It was about making space for herself before the workday started.“It didn’t require a vacation or a weekend, just a small decision to make room for life before logging in. Maybe this is your reminder that even on a workday, you can do something that’s just for you.”She ended her post by writing, “Here’s to making weekdays feel a little lighter.”
What the viral video shows
The video opens with the message, “Life before I log into my 12 pm job. Weekdays don’t have to be just workdays.”It then follows her morning as she walks through a green area in Bengaluru, surrounded by nature. She prepares coffee and a homemade breakfast before finding a quiet spot beside a lake. There, she enjoys her meal, reads a book, and spends some peaceful time outdoors before logging in for work.
Internet users say they found it relatable
The video received plenty of positive reactions from viewers who said they loved the idea of slowing down before work.One person wrote, “Love it.”Another commented, “Would love to do it.”A third user said, “OMG! My favourite place.”One viewer admitted, “I really want to do this, but I can’t stop doomscrolling till 4 am before going to bed.”Moses replied with a humorous response, “Don’t sleep for the whole night.”Disclaimer: This article is based on publicly shared social media content.
