What's your daily routine like?

I'd like to share a template for a routine I like. It's called 'Connect and Navigate'. It's flexible and simple.

CONNECT: First thing after waking up (and I do mean FIRST thing) stretch, meditate and or chant. This could include any other spiritual or religious practice also. Insert whatever method you use to connect to 'the divine'. Take as long or as little as you can BUT do it. It's foundational and eventually you will feel 'off' if you miss a day in future.

NAVIGATE: Navigation is all the day to day practical things you need to do to have your waking life run as you'd like it. These are not meta physical or spiritual but more working, relationships, tasks, what you eat, what you think about, who you give time to etc etc.

While not new it's a nice way to frame your day at a high level. We will talk in future about methods of both Connection and Navigation to put something on this scaffolding.

NB: Sleep is also part of connection and by doing your spiritual practice just after sleeping you have not yet allowed the Ego (Default Mode Network) to kick start yet which is VERY important. Our connection practice is more effective at this time before we start to navigate. Out Navigation is more effective also as the connection grounds us and keeps us from straying mentally as well as feeling stressed and tired.

More to come later!
