Mornings Matter

Claus

"For me, peace and structure are the keys to a good start to the day. I truly believe many people would benefit from giving themselves just a little extra time in the morning—it makes a world of difference."

From Chasing Meaning to Finding Peace in the Morning

"For years, I searched for something that could ignite the same fire in me as handball. It wasn’t until I let go of that expectation that I started to feel something again."

For years, Claus Møller Jakobsen was looking for something that could give him the same spark as handball. He believed he needed to find a new passion that could match the intensity of his life as a professional athlete. But the answer turned out to be something entirely different: a quiet morning routine that sets the tone for his entire day.

For Claus, mornings have become an anchor—a time to create calm and presence, both for himself and his children.

"I’m really not good at being in a hurry. It creates a restlessness in my body that I don’t like. That’s why I structure my schedule to include time for peace and reflection between appointments."

– Claus

"What matters most to me is being able to lie in bed with my kids for 10 minutes and let them wake up slowly—rather than yanking off the covers and telling them we need to rush. Those are two completely different ways to start the day, and the calm we create in those moments sets the tone for everything that follows."

If your mornings often feel rushed or chaotic, take inspiration from Claus:

- Set your alarm 30 minutes earlier to avoid feeling rushed.
- Create a consistent morning routine that gives you a stable start.
- Identify what brings you energy and peace—and prioritize it.

"For me, peace and structure are the keys to a good start to the day. I truly believe many people would benefit from giving themselves just a little extra time in the morning—it makes a world of difference."
