i think im doing well with the clean and tidy and exercise, but def could have a better bed/wake time and do meditation daily. I feel my eating is pretty good too.

[@monikamarsollek3493]

Hi, Nick, thank you for sharing. I need ALL, of course I’m doing well from time to time, but there is no consistency. I choose the most urgent: go to bed in time. The others will follow.

I am telling this first thing to my husband for a really long time because as kids I'm trained to sleep at 9pm . The world used to shut around me at 8 at night . It was new to me to experience waking up late and I can never get into habit of staying up late. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise😅🙏❤️🎉 my uncle has his gym in the house and seeing that growing up made me think it's really a part of life to do excercise. I choose yoga and meditation by myself at the age of 16 after trying all kinds of exercises. Having these 3 habits already, my hormones were so balanced that I used to eat less and granny was strict abt lunch time only. I feel beyond lucky being born in a house where all these habits were part of everyday life and routine. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 I'm always thankful to my elders at each and every step of my life for bringing all good habits to my life with love.

My mental health crashed 3 weeks ago, just under 3 weeks ago I walked past a man dressed in orange, something I’d never seen before. I googled what dressing in orange meant. The algorithm must have informed KZbin. So when I went onto KZbin, there you were. Within two days of coming out of hospital, I’ve had you by my side listening to your advice, I wasn’t left alone. It’s a strange turn of events. Thank you so much 🙏

Oh wow. Welcome to the channel my friend. I hope these videos can support you along your path 😊😊

[@jfdb59]

The sleep routine is HUGE. I have finally got this set in stone, but it took me many years of staying up too late, not getting enough sleep and then being tired and cranky. Trying to do too much, and being overstimulated. The sleep routine starts one to two hours before bed time. Plants lights go off, night lights go on. The nature sounds I play almost 24/7 shift from day sounds to night sounds (corresponding to the season), shades get drawn when the days are long so as to create the atmosphere for it. Even as I type this my 4 year old daughter is nodding off waiting for me to finish writing. We are in bed about 7:30-8. I try to meditate until 8:30, then go to sleep by 9 EVERY night and I get up at 5 (sometimes six on Saturday). This gives me a solid 8 hours. Do not skip the routine on weekends. Every night is the same. I used to like staying up late on the weekends but the time I gained was lost in the morning with sleeping in. Now I find I enjoy the early mornings far more where I can sit in quiet stillness and contemplation since the city is still sleeping in from staying up too late. So the world is mine. Peers I work with that struggle with mental health (which is pretty much everyone now) I tell the same; try a consistent proper night's sleep and a healthful diet, it will transform your life more than any medication and therapy.

I recently retired and my daily rituals have been thrown into a bit of chaos after having good habits/rituals for many years. When working, I found that my work hours were like an anchor, before which and after which, I had a chain of habits including exercise, meditation, etc., and now, even though I have more time, I'm struggling. Thanks for this motivation to work toward establishing some new daily rituals.

[@musingfoodie1041]

In Ayurveda they say: “Your day starts the night before”. I highly respect wisdom of Ayurveda, so I couldn’t agree more. I recently found out that I have ADHD (going to bed late is very common among ADHDers). So I enjoy going to bed late as it is very peaceful and quiet at nighttime, as there are far less distractions. I am working on going to bed earlier, and I have made some progress. When I succeed at getting up early, I am far more “efficient” the next morning, in every way. And the body loves the stability of a nighttime routine. ADHD also means having a hyperactive mind, even if you are not physically hyperactive (as it is in my case), and I am not in favor of meds for ADHD. I would rather change my schedule.

[@NickKeomahavongOfficial]

Awesome. Please keep us updated on your progress 😊

You hit that right on the NAIL! NIGHT TIME IS SOOO peaceful & you really can't do that many tasks, b/c every thing is closed! No one. Including telemarketers( ugh) R blowing up your phone! . I'm ADHD too & I can 100% relate! My "to do " list is about 5 miles LONG! NO JOKE! I wake up and so much anxiety and frustration and overwhelmed in I just think of the billions and trillions of things I must do and they're all seem just as important as the other I mean what do I do go get my license picture done or should I you know call the mortgage company that I'm behind on* 8 months also I needed to get my license picture done since April and it's now the end of August and September basically September so I mean I don't know it and that's just two two times that times like a thousand others to do that are like just as important as that!

One thing that has always helped me is to write down in the evening three things that you should pay attention to the next day. Although you may not accomplish all three the next day, it helps you keep track of priorities and you'll be able to easily carry over any unfinished items to the next day! You can train yourself to establish this habit annd you will not regret it - it will help you! Good luck.@@michelemarch2562

Thank you again❤️

I can’t thank you enough for these videos and your virtual mentorship. I am still full of anxiety and very flawed, however, I finally put down marijuana and haven’t smoked in 22 days since the defilements video has been on my mind for the last several mos and I started feeling guilty. I gave up alcohol as well for about 7 mos after your vid, I relapsed in June and have been clean again for about 2 mos and hope to never drink again. I desperately desire structure and stillness and struggle so much, yet these videos help me to refocus. I would love to visit the monastic community you were located at in Thailand and bring my 3&8 yr old daughters one day. I look forward to saving up enough money to visit and finally experience peace like monks and nuns. Nam myoho renge kyo ☸️🙏🏾

[@LeporidaeanDream]

If you sleep on the side like me you can exploit that, bcs the ear that rests on the pillow is soundproofed. Now the other ear must be soundproofed similarly with something that absorbs all sounds, like a sideways "pillow hat" with straps that go all around the head. Blasted neighbors, if they don't respect people they should be kicked out and live in a barn like loud animals 😁 They make things difficult for your landlord if you have one so better that they move than everybody else. Wishing you peace and silent sleep.

[@LeporidaeanDream]

@@TraceB Earplugs do nothing for me as well, but they can be used in combination with my advice. To give a better description, take a look at college wrestlers ear protection. It can be bought, enhanced and adapted with felt + bubble wrap etc. so you can have a really good nights sleep. It will not come loose if turning over. Remove the one where the ear rests on the pillow, sew it together and tada - silence is yours! It looks weird but sleep is adamant to health 😴

Thank you venerable nick for sharing these practical foundations. Personally I think I got to work more on meditation, and I hope it can help me to moderate my screen time. I find that I have been leaning on screen time as a clutch to cope with work stresses. Even on days when I need not do urgent work at night, I don’t sleep as early as I would like to, and that make waking up early to have a good and consistent morning routine hard. Diving into work first thing in the morning isn’t the best way to keep a healthy separation between work and life.

Welcome to the channel my friend 😊

[@missshroom5512]

I started eating after 5 or 6 at night around 4 years ago and I have never been happier. My insides are as regular as they were when I was a child. Zero bloating and perfect poops every morning. It was a process however to accomplish and to get used to. It also helped that I had become an empty nester so I wasn’t cooking for a big family anymore. 👍🏼🌎☀️💙….btw…I do have a coffee in the morning and I may have a banana or I allow myself to eat strawberries out of my garden or a tomato out of my garden or chew on a piece of garlic ect…during the day if I feel like it. Some days I do not.

Wonderful my friend 😊

[@karenstone3625]

You are so helpful Nick… I choose to work on the meditation as I’ve got the others down pretty well… the meditation is hard for me as my thoughts keep intruding but I will push on even if it’s for 5 mInutes to start 😊

Thank you I needed this.

[@ZengHuaXiansheng]

Great advice, Nick, thank you! 😊 One point that I still have to learn to follow is to eat with moderation. Today I cooked a meal for my parents and myself (cold noodles with sauce and cucumbers) which was very delicious. Unfortunately I cooked a bit too much because I don’t have enough experience in cooking for more than one person and we almost ate all the noodles except for a little bit. But I also made an interesting experience: It took me a lot of will power and it wasn’t easy for me but now I feel much better than if I hadn’t cooked.

[@NickKeomahavongOfficial]

oh yes, eating can be challenging. Just slowly take the time to observe yourself and find the middle way. it takes some time :)

[@ZengHuaXiansheng]

@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Thanks! 😊 Today I ate less for dinner.

I've been a practitioner of Zen Buddhism since being ordained as a lay monk in1983. However, I really needed this reminder. Thank you so much, you are an excellent teacher. 🙏

[@NickKeomahavongOfficial]

Aww thank you so much my friend 😊

[@Arrabella2024]

Thank you so much for these wonderful tips! Regarding the first one, I've woken up early and gone to bed early at times in my life, and at other times I've gone to bed late and slept late. When I go to bed late and sleep late I feel so much better and have so much more energy. And I'm much happier.

[@NickKeomahavongOfficial]

Thanks for sharing!!

@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Thanks Bhante. No wonder I follow this schedule, for becoming a monk is a possibility I am seriously considering, after having been interested in theravada since teenhood. Working now on subtitling videos about buddhism and spreading dhamma materials.
