<h2><b>The First Hour </b></h2>
|
|
<p>To start the day, you need to setup an alarm. Mine is set to ring at 6:00 in the morning (yes, even in weekends), because that way i have at least <b>60 minutes total</b> to prepare myself for the day. </p>
|
|
<p>That is because at 7:00 in the morning, i must be out of the house.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="nim">
|
|
Workdays:
|
|
-6h00: wake up (only one alarm, place it far away from the bed)
|
|
-6h30: yoga session ends
|
|
-6h45: cold shower ends
|
|
-7h00: out of the house
|
|
-7h30: ready to work
|
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Truth is i am working a typical 9 to 5 job, yet i arrive this early at the workplace. Priotizing morning work is ideal because this is when you function at your best. pack the most important/complex tasks of the day in the morning, because that's when you usually can get the most things done.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="nim">
|
|
Weekends:
|
|
-6h00: wake up (only one alarm, place it far away from the bed)
|
|
-6h30: yoga session ends
|
|
-6h45: cold shower ends
|
|
-7h00: ready to work
|
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Yes, waking up at 6 AM during the weekends is going to be though at first, but this is part of the discipline aspect. As far as i'm concerned, saturday is the same as friday as either way i am working on something. Either i am working on personal projects, or i am working on the work projects.</p>
|
|
<p>This is a choice that one must make at some point; do you want to sleep your life away, or do you want to actually get up early and accomplish things for the world ?</p>
|
|
<p>This ties back to the concept of <a href="../discipline/index.html">discipline over comfort</a>, first thing in the morning: are you waking up because your body and mind feels like it ? are you waking up because you must do so ? or are you waking up at a certain time, because you chose to do so, regardless of what your body and mind wants ?</p>

<h2><b>Preparing the Body and Mind</b></h2> </br> </br>
|
|
<p>First thing in the morning you must do is get control over your own body, using <a href="../yoga/index.html">Yoga</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Now if you're not used to it (meaning, not flexible enough), you may not be able to do every posture correctly, that's not a problem, no need to force it. just try to do each posture as best as you can do it. the idea is that you must work to get your body into a certain geometry, intentionally.</p>
|
|
<p>This is done out of the logic that this Body shouldn't get to do what it wants, <b>it should do what YOU want it to do.</b> That's all it is about, first thing in the morning: get control over your own body.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once the body is under control, head over to the shower. and if you have read <a href="../coldshowers/index.html">my previous tutorial</a>, you know where i'm going with this.</p>
|
|
<p>Turn that temperature knob to your current "uncomfortably cold" setting. Your body may not initially like it, nor would your mind either, but why does it matter what they want, especially when you know the many benefits of cold exposure ? <b>You know it is good for your body and mind, so you do it regardless.</b></p>
|
|
<p>The second thing in the morning that you must do after getting control over your body, is to get control over your mind. You can do so very easily with a cold shower. Intentionally start the temperature at your "uncomfortably cold" setting, and take your time to clean yourself.</p>
|
|
<p>Make it last 10 or 15 minutes if you can, and make it your new normal.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="nim">
|
|
The water is perfect, just the way it is.
|
|
It is ME who must accept it.
|
|
|
|
</pre></code>
|
|
<p>In that situation of stress, see if you can breathe slowly, and through your nose only. If you want to dig deep into yourself, mentally (and slowly, following the breath), repeat the <a href="../nihilism/index.html">Nihilism mantras</a>:</p>
|
|
<p><b><u>The Three Nihilism Mantras:</u></b></p>
|
|
<pre><code class="nim">
|
|
<a href="../sum-nihil/index.html">Sum Nihil:</a> to dissolve your identities
|
|
Inhalation: I am nothing,
|
|
Exhalation: I am noone
|
|
|
|
<a href="../scio-nihil/index.html">Scio Nihil:</a> to dissolve your beliefs
|
|
Inhalation: I know nothing,
|
|
Exhalation: I know nothing else
|
|
|
|
<a href="../opus-nihil/index.html">Opus Nihil:</a> to dissolve your compulsions
|
|
Inhalation: I want nothing,
|
|
Exhalation: I need nothing
|
|
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>You can repeat them a few times, then once you're done, it should be around 6h45, leaving you 15 minutes to get dressed and leave to go to work. </p>
|
|
<p><u>Sidenote:</u> yes i didn't forget to mention "having breakfast" because there's none. Leaving your stomach empty at the beginning of the day is totally intentional as this is part of making sure that your body goes into a natural, internal cellular purification, which doesn't happen when your stomach is processing food. <b>2 meals per day (one at noon, and one in the evening) are enough for you to survive just fine.</b> </p>
