Daily Routine
How they change over time and how they stay the same. A little peek into my early morning and nighttime routine looks boring, but here it is. It has changed and does change from time to time.
I’m an early riser – I love 5:30 am with an occasional late sleep if I have an evening meeting. I luxuriated until 7:30 am this morning ,
The routine includes a quick bathroom trip, meds, and feeding the cat, Rin, who occasionally allows me to sleep. Then, it is a nice cold glass of water and a cup of hot water with lemon and honey. I have a chair in which I meditate. I listen to a guided meditation, mostly from Joe Dispensa, for about 30-45 minutes. I immediately write answers to the question “what are the ten best things for me to do today”.
The answers are sometimes repetitive and usually at the end of the list a thoughtful “thing to do” is on the list.
Bedtime starts at 9:00 pm with a list of the 3 things I’m grateful for. Write that list helps me set myself up for a good nights sleep.
