Good morning! Last blog I mentioned my morning meditation and that I'd go into more detail about my routine today. Naturally, today I did not do my usual routine -- I stayed up to watch the NCAA championship last night, which was honestly a bit underwhelming, and let myself sleep in this morning.
Recently though, I've been waking up around 4:30 or 5 and jumping out of bed to immediately do the 5 Tibetan Rites. After that, I usually do Wim Hof breathing or some other type of breath work (or a combination), followed by 15-30 minute silent meditation. I've been tinkering with this routine all semester, but the basic idea is to deliberately spend the first hour-ish of my day alone with as little external input as possible to prepare my mind and body for the day ahead. Practicing this has been a game changer for me and I truly can't recommend doing something like this enough.
Today I still did my routine, just later in the morning (I woke up after 6) and much more abbreviated because I joined a "bike bus" at 8am to ride to campus with other UMD students and have some breakfast together. It was really nice to meet some new people and enjoy the already beautiful day! I hope y'all enjoy your Tuesday and I'll see ya tomorrow :)
