When I wake up at 6.00 am, the first thing I do is something for myself: napping until 6.30 am.

Lesson 1 to a Minimalist shower:

-Cold water
-Only wash the biceps

Spoiler alert: Matt wears the same outfit everyday not for minimalism, but because it makes editing a whole lot easier

The mustache burger running clip never gets old.

“Don’t be so rigid in your routines that you completely lose sight of why you are doing them in the first place.” That’s such great advice. I have such a hard time convincing myself not to do everything so perfectly that I completely miss the day and let time pass without actually completing my tasks. In the end, there’s nothing to be perfectionist about if you don’t actually accomplish anything!

Meditation, journal writing, yoga poses....Ask yourself whether these are activities you even like fulfilling, do they bring value to your life? Or are you incorporating 'mindfulness' practices to fill the void of unproductivity in your life. Am I doing this to avoid what I like or should be doing? Determine what you actually like doing, i.e. art, learning a language - and then devote a set of time for it every morning same time. Because too many mindful habits can become mindless.

Does anyone else feel that all these “motivational” material around youtube (wake up early, do that, do this) at some point tend to look like another job?! I mean, at some point, you want to do what you feel like, want to take a walk, take it, want to sleep more, sleep, want to learn something new, do it... but setting all these goala and expectations seems at some point just seems tiring. Is it just me? Am I weird for seeing things this way?

"why I quit..."
*clicks asap*: finally a video for me

[Lassehotmailcom]

I relate to this topic. In my early twenties, I tried so hard to set up routines and habits that I knew were "good for me". However, it always ended up becoming routines that I HAD to do instead of something I WANTED to do. Now I try to listen to my needs/emotions and practice self-care based on what feels right in the moment.

I would say that nurturing habits/routines have their place. It will drain my energy, if I constantly have to be aware of my emotions/needs and act based on them. So it is also important to set routines/habits that are automatic behaviors, which you can fall back on.

“Progress not perfection “ remember this guy and just keep trying to improve yourselves daily :)

Routines are not meant to be perfect. Trying to follow a rigid schedule leads to us being easily frustrated when life inevitably gets in the way and we can't follow it. Then, once we *finally* get it perfect, we grow bored and the very reason we set the routine is washed away... I've found found lightly structured mornings to be the best set up for me. What type of morning routines do you guys have?

OMG, this video comes exactly on time. 2 days before I stopped all the self help stuff like meditation, journal, exercise and listening to self help gurus, reading self help books.
Now I do what makes me happy. Following all the stuff was making me depressed, worried, anxious.Now I am much more relaxed.
After watching this video I realized I am not the only one.😊

No idea what that trailer was supposed to represent but it did get me siked for the date/project! 😲😌

Finally, someone's saying this on Youtube. After trying to follow the perfect productive morning routine and failing at every try, I decided to not set a fixed morning routine but simply let myself wake up and do things when they come to my mind. Because I have different priorities every day, my morning routine needs to be adaptive. Otherwise, it feels like I am doomed first thing in the morning.
