YouTube is full of morning routine videos where people wake up like a Navy Seal at 5am, hit the gym, journal, meditate, say their affirmations, read, visualize. All of that, every single morning…who’s got time for that? I don’t have that kind of morning routine and I’m OK with that. Our lives are busy enough as they are. And what these videos can do is guilt trip you into feeling that what you’re already doing is not enough. No, we also need to spend a lot of time doing all kinds of self-development practices each morning because apparently, that’s what successful millionaires do. The implicit message is: if you just do this long morning routine, you can achieve similar success. And if you're not successful, it's you. You're lazy... But in my view, that’s a gross oversimplification. So in tomorrow's video, I want to offer a different point of view. I’ll first share the different ways I have spent the first waking hour of the day over the last 15 years, ranging from having no intentional routine to doing the full Miracle Morning routine. Then I’ll discuss what I do right now when I wake up, and my reasons behind it. 00:00 Intro 01:53 My Morning Routine Experience 06:40 My Slow Living Morning Routine – WHAT TO WATCH NEXT – Why you never have enough time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P-kIgJ5GUo – LINKS – ☕️ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/petercook ♪ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@slowlivingminimalist 🖼 Posters: https://iampetercook.gumroad.com/l/posterpack 💻 Try Skillshare for free for 1 month: https://www.skillshare.com/en/r/user/petercook?gr_tch_ref=on 📚 Interesting books to read: • Stoicism For Beginners: https://a.co/d/hPU8GTX • Minimalism 101: https://a.co/d/bJkA6Lt • Declutter Your Life: https://a.co/d/carqttB DISCLAIMER: Some of the links are affiliate links.
