Many successful entrepreneurs say that having a consistent morning routine, like Mark Wahlberg’s infamous awakenings at 3:30 amhelps them balance a busy schedule.

And for some, this mindset starts early in life; just ask Ayaan Holder, 6, who starts her mornings at 6:30 am before school, as documented by her mother, Angel.

“I was packing lunches for Ayaan and Alaïa and looked over to see Ayaan casually sipping her honey lemon tea and reading a new book,” Holder wrote of her son on Instagram. “At first, I laughed. Because… who does he think he is???? But then I realized that I’m glad he had this moment of calm and focus before starting his day at school. I hope your day is off to a great start.”

The clip shows her son adorably sipping from a mug in a blue polo shirt while enjoying a book at his mini table.

“Ayaan likes his alone time, and also enjoys a quiet, relaxing morning. He doesn’t like to be rushed,” Holder said. TODAY. “So I’ll wake him up early and he’ll use the extra time to do a quiet activity.”

The video, which has received more than 342,980 likes, attracted thousands of commenters who could not get enough of the young man’s tenderness and professionalism.

“I love that her necklace looks like a 6-year-old’s dress, but the old man needs his coffee and paper before work,” one commenter laughed.

“Oh, he looks like a real scholar! Love to see him,” said another. “He looks so engrossed in the book at that early hour! A peaceful and calm start to that day. Blessings that you experience peace like this every day.”

Holder called his son a “kind and caring” boy who also plays the African drums and loves sports.

according to a Harvard Medical School study, waking up even an hour earlier in the morning may help reduce the risk of depression, finding that “people who were genetically predisposed to get up an hour earlier in the morning compared with those who got up later had a higher risk 23% less depression”.
