Morning Routine is My Secret for a Better Life

[@ConnieRiet]

With each new day, I'm shaping the life I desire.

[@marleenvangoethem]

I watched this movie earlier and thought: but I don’t have nature nearby. Today I went on a bus to a beautiful forest, did my hour walk there and my meditation, and stood eye on eye to a deer…Thank you Connie!

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring morning, Marleen. I'm thrilled that you took time and put in effort to enrich your life with peace. Thank you for being part of our mindful community. Sending you happiness & peace

I must start my yoga and take care of me thank you Connie

[@sherriepiechowski4556]

I wish I would have known how to have a more intentional life when I was younger. How different my life would have unfolded. I am grateful to have found your channel and started focusing on the changes I have wanted to make. Yoga is getting a little easier and I am learning to live with less and I value the things I choose to keep. I’m connected to God and meditate on my spiritual inner being. Thank You for all you do to open my mind and heart to a simpler more peaceful environment.

I have been suffering from depression, anxiety, grief etc for quite some time now and I am trying so hard to overcome it and enjoy my life. It’s a real effort but I JUST discovered your channel Connie and can’t believe how perfect your content is for me. I am so grateful to you and please know that you are truly helping me to be positive and nurture myself. I have spent my entire life giving every piece of myself to others and I came crashing down recently because I had nothing left to give. It was extremely difficult and I am still Reeling from it. Everyday is a new beginning but I need to learn and practice so so much so I can start to give the best of me to me. I thank you, bless you.

[@jerhughes500]

I went to a dark place just over two years ago, but with the help of family, friends, therapy, cold water therapy and a motorcycle, I have come out the other end. I’m a different person and I don’t think, without experiencing the darkness, I would be like I am now. My mornings are precious to me now and I too have a routine that sets me up for the day ahead. I take one day at a time. I’ve given up chasing the dollar, doing things I don’t really want to do and put myself first for the first time in my life. My journey is far from over and it’s up to me to keep on the right track. 💙

[@sonia15702]

Hi Connie, I wish I could be as content as you are. I have recently lost my auntie who I was so close to. She had special needs. I was so close to her as I also suffer PTSD, anxiety, depression. She was in a care home due to schitzophhedia. Unable to care for her self. I went to see hér each week. An outing where possible. I have lost her, my Nana, my grad dad, and step dad in seven years. We were so close ! I live alone with my dog and feel so depressed!

[@leek7987]

Sonia, I am so sorry that you have recently lost you Aunt. I know that you miss her and the place she had in your life. I am saying a prayer for you, that the Lord will show you grace and peace. Perhaps there is someone where your Aunt was living who would greatly benefit from your kind and giving heart. I have found that when my life gets hectic and I am feeling down or alone, doing something to help someone else can help. You seem to have a loving and compassionate presence and you could really be a blessing to others. I really hope that you will be okay and find contentment. Take one day at a time. May God bless you.

[@ConnieRiet]

Hi Sonia, So sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like she was very special to you. Sending you happiness & peace during this difficult time.

[@archerg4608]

Namaste Connie, It is so much more than apparent that you don't just "walk the talk" you truly live your truth. You are absolutely correct, by taking care of today by being present through awareness, you have no need to be concerned for tomorrow!

Aloha dear Connie, I love so much your videos, especially those related to self discovery. As a Moslem who practises Islamic rituals...I find what you say very similar to what I do each dawn... we have a prayer which is called dawn prayer....an opportunity to connect with God, read verses of Quoran, the Holy Book, and put a plan for the day ...a successful morning routine really transforms the entire day in terms of time and energy ... Go on, dear.

[@keithlomas6107]

I adopted a little cat that wakes me up before dawn every day. The best life coach I ever had even though I haven't been to one. If I had always had a little cat to wake me up my life would - I am sure - have been so much richer; not necessarily in the monetary - but in the wide, encompassing and truly aesthetic sense. Maybe there are academic guidelines on how to get living but do yourself a favor...Save yourself time, money and emotional tax, and adopt a little cat that will tell you to wake up before daybreak. That is a secret to a natural life jumpstart 😉

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Lovely advice! My last kitty used to sleep on my bed, and didn't come up to say hullo until she knew i was awake. I still miss her. But i think i may adopt again in the new year and hope i get one like yours!

Thank you! I wake up at 6:30 and spend between 2-3 on my self-care morning routine. When I began my mindful morning routine 10 years ago, I would "rush" through. With each year, I find value in slowing down and taking as much time as I need.

[@angiusso]

How do you fit that in your schedule? I am not sure how with a long commute to work in the morning and kids to get help get ready to school. In the evening kids have been in school for 7 hours and they are waiting for you to come back from work and make dinner! After cleaning the kitchen it is late already and dark and in order to get a reasonable amount of sleep there is not much choice. Also, if you have a commute to see nature…it is discouraging and too tired already to face…

[@EnnVee959]

Completely hear you. What Connie presents is evidently circumstantial and cannot be imitated by the average person. I would say your life is what nearly 100% of people with kids live through.
