I work in a healthcare management office while living in San Diego.

When I first heard the term 'God Life' that is often used in Korea, I honestly thought it was a bit cringy.

However, after working full-time in the U.S., I realized that how you start your day almost determines your condition for the entire day.

So these days, I'm trying to create and stick to my own morning routine.

It's not anything grand, but these small habits definitely make me feel like my life is more organized.

My day starts at 6:30 AM. In the past, I would hit the snooze button several times, but now I get up as soon as the alarm goes off.

Breaking the habit of looking at my phone in bed was the biggest change. If I check social media first, my brain already feels tired.

Instead, I drink a glass of water at a comfortable room temperature as soon as I get up. It may seem trivial, but it definitely feels different in waking up my body.

Next is stretching. The morning sunlight in San Diego is really nice. I open the window and lightly stretch for about 5 to 10 minutes.

These are simple movements that wouldn't qualify as yoga, but for someone who sits all day at work, this time is more important than I expected.

Around 7 AM, I have a simple breakfast. It's usually Greek yogurt with blueberries or avocado toast.

Instead of buying coffee on my way to work, I brew it at home. This quiet time feels like a small reset for me.

The most important part of my morning routine is the 10-minute organizing time. I write down what I need to do today in a small notebook.

I jot down my work schedule, personal tasks, and at least one thing for 'myself.'

For example, going for a walk after work or reaching out to a friend.

Writing this down makes me feel like I'm in control of my day instead of just letting it pass by.

I leave the house around 7:40 AM. The commute in San Diego isn't as congested as in LA, but I still try to move at a relaxed pace.

When I arrive at the office, I don't check my emails right away.

Instead, I tackle the most important task of the day first. I've learned from experience that my focus is best in the morning.

Working in a healthcare management office, unexpected requests and urgent matters keep coming in.

If I don't set the flow in the morning, the day can pass by in a blur.

On the other hand, if I stick to my morning routine and go to work, I feel much less tired even with the same workload.

When people in their 20s hear the term 'God Life,' they often think of something extraordinary in self-management or a perfect day.

But in reality, living it out, 'God Life' is less about grand goals and more about not losing myself in the morning.

Before looking at how others live, it's about creating my own daily rhythm.

Living alone in San Diego, I've realized that with a lot of freedom, it's easy for life to become chaotic.

No one says anything if I go to bed late and wake up late. That's why I need my own routine even more.

What's more important than big success is the feeling that I'm starting my life every morning.

That's what I consider to be 'God Life' in America.
