As a single mom I used to wake up an hour before I had to wake up my toddler. That hour was precious and peaceful. I treasured it. I would listen to motivational videos while I cooked breakfast and prepared our lunches. I needed that hope in my life to start everyday. It was like I had my own personal cheerleader every morning. That hour was so important to me and changed my life. At night I would fall asleep the same time as my son. Sleeping early was wonderful too. Sleeping early allowed me to get all the sleep I needed. Instead of having my alone time at night when I am exhausted, my alone time is the morning and I use it to motivate me snd charge me up.

This was, for me, one of your most powerful videos. At 70 years young, I try to be a better version of myself every day. Thank you for reminding us 🇿🇦

I woke up this morning feeling really depressed then for some reason ended up watching this video and now I feel invigorated encouraged and ready to try my hand at life again. Thank you Dr Rangan Chatterjee for filling my morning with positive energy and giving me a practical guide to make the changes I need to make in my life. Now I know I won't lie on my deathbed full of regret for what I should have but never did.

Thats why we moved to a farm in the nature with our 4 kids, we have alot of challenges and have less money but its all worth it, we are with our kids more and we dont just live for the weekends❤❤we live every day and enjoy! BUT its comes with sacrifices but dont want to change a day!!🎉🎉😊😊😊

The question I asked myself this morning was "If my health was my number one priority today, what what I do for sure?" Then I did 30 pushups while I waited for the coffee to be ready. Great way to start the day, feeling like a success!

I love how you deliver your content in a respectful and considerate way. Looks like most of us can resonate ..

[claremoody]

Thank you. I am retired with a chronic health condition and low energy
I love your concept of eliminating choice to save brain power. There is so much choice I am often overwhelmed and exhausted just by reasearching choices !
I feel I need to create more routine as I have the whole day to fill and this can feel overwhelming when I have so little energy… maybe more routine during the day and guidance on this for those who don’t have a job might be helpful.

[shimone]

Loved listening to this from Canada on my morning walk!

The impact of reducing choices in this overwhelming world has really made an impact to me. Simple step, but now I consciencely decided where to part when I shop. Such a simple step but reduces the stress of choosing a parking space. I part far away and there is always a space in this aisle, and it is crazy how that reduced my stress of choosing a parking space.

[Thomasfboyle]

10 minutes a day outside myself, yes doctor!

[anitajulaniya]

I needed this today. Problem of plenty and digital overload. How to be wiser in making a choice. Thanks.

Beautiful heartfelt talk my beautiful friend 🌟 Everything You speak about is right on target.
This perhaps may sound rudimentary to some, but let me tell you, My friend here is speaking about things that transcend The importance of everything we do in our everyday lives. Essentially this is about Your happiness which is so important because when you're not happy, you cannot make others happy. Thank you brother, you are a blessing to Our universe 🫵❤️💫✨

Dr. Rangan: you certainly have a point there. However, I have known this for myself for years now and have been working on different methods to change my thinking, my habits, and then improve my life overall. I have been successful to a degree. However, due to PTSD and therefore a deregulated nervous system, I still struggle to achieve a fully fulfilling life. I’m doing all kinds of somatic exercises on my own and have done a few with a therapist, the therapy is expensive for me, especially because these things don’t get fixed within a month or two.
Many have very similar struggles like I do and yet do not even know that by improving their nervous system’s functionality many other things in their lives will improve.

This is so good I needed to listen in small chunks. Knowing when enough is enough. Todays lesson. Happiness doesn’t come with more. Enjoy what we already have❤

[lilytrif]

Thank you Dr Chatterjee so much truth and inspiration in your words. When humankind realizes that we are just temporary travellers on this planet, and that does not matter how much we achieve and how high we go we all end up in the same place and don’t bring any possessions with us, it is only then that this planet will become a better place to live.
All the best!

I love the idea of limiting choice. It’s so relaxing! I first came across this idea when reading or listening to Timber Hawkeye in Buddhist Boot camp. I recall that he only owns a small number of black T-shirts and wears a different one each day. It is the one idea I am going to continue to adopt to a greater extent.

[lennieschultz]

Love to listen to you- love from Denmark

As someone still in my younger years at 26 I find a lot choices that can cause procrastination for me is the amount of choices for bettering myself. Theres so many videos telling young adults to do x, y, z to be better but theres so many it makes it harder for me to choose one and move forward to better myself.
