I. Try This: A New Morning Routine

Every morning make some time for:

• Thankfulness: Express gratitude to someone, some place, or something every day. This includes thinking it, writing it, and sharing it.

• Insight: Gain insight through reading a book or listening to a podcast.

• Meditation: Spend fifteen minutes alone, breathing, visualizing or with sound.

• Exercise: We monks did yoga, but you can do some basic stretches or a workout.

Thankfulness. Insight. Meditation. Exercise = T.I.M.E. ― A new way to put time into your morning.

• Learning to love ourselves is a daily practice.

• Internal forgiveness is key for self-preservation.

The Art Of Negativity

Against the modern cult of relentless positivity and productivity, "one of the many curses of late capitalism". "In its stress-inducing suppression and dangerous infantilism, the almost dogmatic nature of toxic positivity inhibits raw human emotion and invalidates the necessary negative feelings we all have in life." Negativity is natural, freeing, and essential for self knowledge (2,221 words)

P.S. Searching for a book recommendation? Our team at The Daily Coach highly recommends The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer. Whether this is your first exploration of inner space, or you’ve devoted your life to the inward journey, this book will transform your relationship with yourself and the world around you. You’ll discover what you can do to put an end to the habitual thoughts and emotions that limit your consciousness. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.
