Wake up, try to figure out if I'm awake or not, figure out if my dreams were real or not, try to forget any bad ones (I have night terrors), then hug and snuggle my girls... I need to trade coffee/energy drinks for herbal tea. I need to start making my bed again. And I need to focus more on resolving my anxiety and depression via meditation instead of overloading my mind with other trivial things (tv/video games) to try and block them out...

As an online graphic design student, recently my body has told me to take up a very similar morning routine. I wake up at around 6:30, process my dreams (I have extremely other worldly dreams every night), make my bed, make coffee, water my plants, meditate whilst reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and then work on art pieces or edit photos. Thank you for your video, it is validating. I'll work on adding a moment of community service also 🙂

The way of the majority will never change, I don’t think. Or even if it does it’ll change ever so slightly over a very long period of time. Now whether one chooses to tune into that channel is up to each individual at the end of the day. To decide to be different is brave and takes a lot of effort, resilience and self-integrity. Also, you’re not just swimming up the stream in terms of external societal pressure, but also the internal one. We are all full of mental baggage we got to deal with. I truly hope you achieve what you’re aiming for, just remember to give yourself the gift of time and patience. You deserve it ☺️

Do an act of generosity: Monks collect food and give others the opportunity to give. You can make breakfast for your children or for your partner. 5. Doing chores: Connects hands to earth --> mindfulness 6. Day before: light dinner or fasting (monks eat breakfast & lunch) better sleep Purpose: still the mind/get us out of our heads and access the inner well/wisdom I watched this at 1,75x :) not very mindful of me, I know.

The other thing you said was, "it's an investment". Wow. I'm always feeling like I need instant results. A product of the current world I live in, for sure.

I have a window above my kitchen sink, and for years I would look out that window while washing dishes and think about regrets from things past or worries about problems in the future. Thich Nhat Hanh's essay taught me to look out that window while washing dishes, and focus on the warmth of the water, the fragrance of soap suds, the softness of dish towels, and the sparkle of clean dishes.

@@barbarasevenoaks6821 thanks for taking the time to share, I'm sorry for your loss. It's been many years since my loss, I think of her often. I am grateful for every year I've still been able to live. I pity people who whine about getting older, especially on their birthday, they aren't remembering the people who didn't get a chance to be old. People have such callous expectations, they assume their baby will be born healthy so they go on about whether it's a girl ir boy, express what they hope it will be. I work at a Children's hospital so guess I know how many babies and children are so ill....my best friend lived way longer than them...so it's vital to enjoy each day...that's what I stressed to my children, now adults, be happy about something every day, even if it's just being alive the whole day.

Funny how I crossed paths with this video today of all days... I've been struggling with stress and crazy days, no time, very young kid waking up throughout the night. Today I woke up before my kid, and without thinking, I did some things you mentioned, Instead of waking up fast and starting doing things, I breathed with my eyes closed, I took things slowly and in the present, I took care of myself and when my kid woke up, I took care of him with even more love. I'm feeling so energetic and positive today, will try to have a better mourning routine, not only for me but for my kid too. I know how much his life can be better if he learns this at an early age.

From Canada, Namaste, thank you. I really like your morning routine education. I work three jobs here in the Western world, I’ve just suffered a car accident, broken my foot, and the job work stress is relentless regardless. Headaches every day. I give every day if my time, through intention, generosity. It’s my natural state. But our western practices cause illness, frustration. When I went to Nepal to climb for a month, I loved the Everest Valley Sherpa culture. The children were happy, the valley residents grateful and humble. I had the privilege, because there were no rooms left at lodges, to sleep alone in a monastery with candles and prior generations of monks in jars in glass cases. I was intensely grateful for this honour. 🙏

@Emily E. Start with meditation after your morning washdown to free up the mind, just concentrate on your breathing and relax on a blanket on the floor if possible, or seated in a chair if that's easier for you. Then have a walk in a garden if you have one or work on some plants or animals if you have them. Walking in the early morning is very refreshing, just letting the mind go in solitude, loving yourself. See if you can help others, or animals in the community to take your mind off your sorrows or unhappy thoughts, read good books, visit the library, learn a musical instrument with some help, or art or knitting...do things you like for yourself. Love yourself exactly as you are...You are lovable.💓💖💗

Last year I did so many mistakes in my life. I used to be a good student. I meditated every day. But last year I missed myself because of toxic relationships. I got bad decisions. I corrected my biggest mistake which means I move on from that toxic relationship two months ago but it was really hard to start over until now because I worried too much about my past behaviour and I missed so many studies. I hated to live in the moment. I couldn't deal with reality because my mind always blamed me. Nowadays I have an examination but I can't even study because of my worries. I wanted to change that lifestyle but I couldn't do it. But now after I saw this video I am so happy because I found that what I wanted to knew on that hard days of my life. When you said that "everything in the past is gone but this moment gives us a new opportunity" and every advice you gave healed my heart. Then from now on I don't worry about my past and also I don't fear about the future as well. I will face my future with courage and all the time I try my best to live in the moment. I will create the best version of myself and treat my parents very well and keep them happy all the time as I can. I know how to do it now because now I can love myself without complaining me. Then I'm sure with this change I can change anything. Everything defines how we look at it. We have to try our best to see the good in every situation without complaining. From now on I don't think what others think about me as well because today is not guaranteed or promised as you said. And I try my best to spend my day as you said. Thank you so much for helping me with this valuable advice. I wish you will have a long and healthy life. And I wish you can reach nirvana very soon🙏

Thank you for this video! My morning routine aligns in some ways. I wake up 3 hours before I have to be at work, and spend those first few moments on mindful breathing and quietness. Once we get out of bed, we make it right away, and have for a long time. I have some early morning tasks I do - I clean out the wood stove and build a fire as a kindness to my husband, so he doesn't have to do that chore. I put away the dishes from the night before so the kitchen will be tidy for everyone when they get up, and I clean the kitty litter as my early chore. Nex, I do weight training exercises or a walk, followed by meditation practice. Next is breakfast, and then there is usually about 45 minutes I can spend with my husband/child/pets before I have to get ready and leave for work. So I have the components, just in a different order. I think the hardest thing for me has been to accept that some days, it all feels mindful and almost holy...other days I get lost in thought, and I have to accept that I'm doing my best and still learning.
