(00:05): Hello everyone. So I am answering questions today
and we have a question from Farzana. Uh, she asks, what is your daily routine? How do you balance
your human and God's self in your day-to-day life? Are there any rituals or practices or
routines that you have in particular? Okay, so, uh, thanks Farzana for submitting a question. Um,
I do I have a night routine in the morning routine. I usually have some pretty long routines,
uh, in the morning and at night. So I will usually have typically 45 minutes to an hour in the
morning and 45 minutes to an hour at night. Um, my morning routine is a little bit more active,
more masculine in nature, more young in nature. So I'll generally get up, I'll make some coffee, um,
and I'll start my morning routine with either some dancing or some exercising. So I,
I have, uh, kettlebells at home. (01:10):
I don't know if you guys know what kettlebells are, but I have kettlebells at home and I'll
actually start doing kettlebell swings. If you don't know what a kettlebell is, look it up. I
have kettlebells at home. It's a great way for me to start to ramp up my metabolism in the morning.
So I'll either work out with my kettlebells. I'll maybe do some pushups. I'll, I'll do some more
active stuff in the morning. Uh, I like to dance. I really like to start my day out, uh, dancing.
Um, sometimes I, I do some qi gong, uh, exercises, or, um, a couple of yoga poses in the morning just
to get my body moving. But my morning routine is much more active, much more masculine and energy.
I I'll usually meditate a little bit in the morning, but it's,
it's a more active meditation. So I'll either meditate standing, um, or I'll meditate sitting,
but, um, in a more, just kind of good morning to the universe kind of way, a more active way.
(02:06): So this routine usually in the morning
lasts me about 45 minutes to an hour. And then I go about my day. Um, throughout my day, I also
have mindfulness checkpoints, so I'll be working and I'll be very mindful of stopping my work, even
if it's just for a couple of minutes to breathe in, close my eyes, breathe out. I'll do these
mindfulness checks throughout the day. And then at the end of the day, I have my night routine.
So this is a feminine routine, much more yin energy. I'll power down my devices around nine,
nine 30. I like to power down. Um, I'll turn off the lights in my house. So I'm walking around
in the dark. Um, and I do this on purpose. If you, um, if you're the, the more you're
in the dark at night, the more you connect with your circadian rhythm and your circadian rhythm
basically is when your brain starts kind of the darkness of the night starts to, um,
to tell your brain to start shutting down. (03:05):
So I walk around the house in the dark, actually quite a bit. I'll have a candle at night. Um,
I'll do some dancing, some drumming. Uh, my neighbors must love me because I'll drum at night.
So I've never had anyone complaine, but I do do drumming at night. Um, I'll do a little
bit of dancing, but the night routine is much more feminine in nature. So I'll do some slow
stretches. I will dance I'll drum. Um, and then I meditate again. So I meditate twice a day.
Um, and again, this night routine lasts me about 45 minutes to an hour. And then, um, I go to bed
before. Um, when I, when I get to bed, I actually close my eyes and before I fall asleep, I have
a gratitude practice. So I'll basically just close my eyes. And right before I fall asleep,
I'll just name five or six or seven or 10 things that I feel grateful for for that day.
(03:58): So things, particular
things that happen to me throughout the day that I feel very grateful for. Um, and that's really how
I'll end the day is just really the things that I'm grateful for and I'll just crash,
fall asleep. Um, so these are my morning and night routines and kind of my mindfulness breaks
throughout the day. And that's pretty much how I live my day, uh, day in and day out. Um, so I hope
this helped Farzana. Um, and, uh, you know, let me know if you see this question, let me know if
you have any questions. Uh, and if, if this video helped, all right, everybody talk to you soon.
