Mr Integrity

10 mins a day is, definitely beneficial, for me I think one of the most important things when taking up or trying to keep any habit is to make it easy for myself. If I start to have more things I need to do in the morning, find I'm having to rush around too much or start finding it a chore to fit it. I will cut back, which is something I've done before. I've taken up the habit of meditating and then dropped it again many times over the 18 years on and off I've been doing it. I'm currently a year into my current run (possibly my longest so far!) and its only in the past 6 months I've gone up to 20 mins. The rest of that time I've just been doing 10 mins, personally I think its best not to stress about it and just do what you can, I think building it into your routine as an achievable habit that doesn't feel like its a chore is the most important thing.

I've spent a couple of years now tweaking and experimenting with my morning routine. I'm currently settled on and quite happy with the following: Alarm goes off 06:25, I get up do the following: Make coffee in french press Drink water Put part baked roll in oven Mix up omlette and leave cooking in low heat: 3x whole eggs, spinach, salt, pepper, tumeric chorizo (I keep some pre fried and chopped the fridge) and cheese. Take suppliments: Vitemine D3, Fish oil, Magnesium/Calcuim/Zinc suppliment, Tumeric With table spoon of coconut oil. Put kale, half avacado, mixed berries, tomato and apple (or pear) in nurti bullet. Make green tea. Once roll is baked, fill with butter, ham & cream cheese. Omelete should be cooked about now so I eat that. Do as many very long, very slow pull ups and deep ring dips as I can. Go to bathroom. Set timer for 2mins, jump in cold shower, soak under spray till timer is up, wash, then hold spray over any injuries/muscles aches I have until I feel they are chilled deeply. Get dress. Do as many very long, very slow pull ups and deep ring dips as I can. Meditate for 20 mins sitting next to SAD lamp I pack the the roll and smoothie for work. I usually have a few minutes now before I leave for work before 08:00. I chill out, usually check my news feed, maybe read an article or may glance over my 'stoic jornal' if the mood takes me (I'm very into stoicism and have journaled lots of stoic quotes and stoic inspired thoughts I've had. This is my 'stoic jornal', its mostly stoicism but not strictly, I've also recored lots of non stoic ideas, quote and concepts. I have recorded it a kind of quick inspirational reference to remind myself of ideas I think important). On the way out I often do some more, slow pull ups and deep ring dips on the way out.
