Master Your Morning: The Ultimate Routine by Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi · Motivation Mindset Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Once I wake up in the morning. After then having
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a short five minutes ten minutes just like sitting calm,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: sitting still on the carpet, I just sit down, close
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: my eyes, put my hands into the center, focus on
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the breeding, and five minutes ten minutes just like arrive.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Meaning because when I'm sitting there is no physical activity
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: going on, so which means that you are not moving
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in a way. Their eyes can also be shut for me.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: The advantage of doing these things what is nowadays may
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: be known as meditative practices, is that you have consciously
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: actually shut down the senses of the body. So once
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the sense of the body, your inside world with the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: outside world is in a way not connected anymore, or
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: there are no disturbances. That means you can be very
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: very You can be very intimate with the world of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: your thoughts. You actually literally see the thoughts coming. And
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: also realize if you keep a sort, if a thort,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is more easy to let go. If other sorts come,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: despite the fact you want to let them go, they
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: still try to stay. You realize such subtleties about your
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: mind and the reason why I sit sometimes five minutes,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: sometimes ten minutes is just in order to make it
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: blank just to blanket out until for myself, I feel like, okay,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: now it's just I'm completely and it feels like you're
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: constantly in observation mode. You're just observing. You're not an
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: actor inside of there anymore. If you catch a thought,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this is what I would regard as now you're becoming
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: an actor. You're starting now to play your movie. But
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: being in observation mode, you don't really care what type
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of movie is now gonna happen. We're just observing. So
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this is the state where I wait until this hits
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in and afterwards have my first cup of tea just
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to start warming up the organs, and then just heading upwards.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And in case sew Shan is awake, then we train together.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: If he's not there, I train alone. Yeah, because this
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: type of training is another chapter within the day where
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: actually I am priming and I'm conditioning myself. Yeah, let's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: say to strengthen certain principles, to strengthen certain principles that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I know will help me afterwards throughout the rest of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the day, which is like don't give up. Just like,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: as an example, I don't know what type of email's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: going to come in. I don't know how many appointments
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I'm still going to have, let's say on that day.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: The point is like this, once I have an appointment,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: once I have something on my schedule, there is no
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: way for me to give up and not appear there.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So and similar like this, I'm already saying to myself,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: this morning training is now like the small preparation, because
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing is all the time. You start slowly,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of course, to warm yourself up, but then you push yourself.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You push yourself to that point where you feel that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: thought is coming back, it is time to rest. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: when the mindsets, it is time to rest. That's the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: point to keep going. That is that threshold which is
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: going to make the difference afterwards. So discovering your limits,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: on the one side, is the first thing. Discovering it
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is the first step because discovering your limits means you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: have a vision about what you can do, and at
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the same time the limit is showing you what you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: cannot do. At the moment, we are still in the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: field of martial arts of course right now, okay, but
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: so using this training in the morning is not just
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: about the physicality and the fact of that we are
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that we are training martial art movements in the first place,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it is also to condition myself to as certain vibe
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that I'm carrying throughout this life. And what is that vibe?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: That vibe is. I don't know what this life is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: going to bring. But there is no alternative then when
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the challenge comes, when life is getting hard, there is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: no alternative for me then to just keep going. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: where can I from? Where can I pull the strength from?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Where do I have this energy in order to move
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to keep going when already you feel exhausted, when it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: already hard. Well, it's because I do it every day
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: already for one hour exactly the same thing happening, but
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: using my body in that sense, conditioning my body, bringing
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: my body to the limit, and then by doing so,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: cultivating the mindset. Maybe there is like a sense of pride,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a sense of pride that okay, I mean, the day
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: has just begun. Is eight o'clock in the morning, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: whole day is still in front of you, but you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: have already achieved something. You have already in the first hours,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: challenged yourself, pushed yourself at the end, actually did something
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: good for the body because of the movement, did something
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: good for Let's say you're breeding apparatus because you learned
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to regulate the breast, did something good for the flexibility
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of the body, did something good in order to increase
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the strength that you have. It's good for me. This
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: is a good start in the day. And then afterwards,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: normally I just take a shower, go then down into
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the office again, prepare maybe another cup of tea or
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: sometimes also a cup of coffee, and then I have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: like one hour two hours sometimes I do the office work. Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So and also there I have limited the time that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I'm spending in front of the screen. Like I said,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: one hour two hour maximum in that morning maximum. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: what I cannot answer in those two hours, I have
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: scheduled it at a at a later point in time.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So meaning the first thing that when I look at
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the at the inbox is I'm just flying over everything
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and looking for myself which one has a priority, Which
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: one has a priority that in the best case I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: can answer right away now in the morning. And so
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this is what I do. All the other ones where
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: where I feel like there is no time pressure, yeah,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I move it to do another time. So and this
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is how very structured I have the way, how I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: wake up, how I make my training, how I do
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the office work okay, because then laatest around eleven o'clock normally,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I then also drive out here to the temple, either
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: having private lessons if there are private students, or also
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just like talking to people here about how how are
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: things going? Okay, because meanwhile, and then normally the schedule
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of the monastery just starts to starts to take place,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: which means if we are having guests over here and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in the afternoons, sometimes I have training okay, and then
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I mostly stay until around six o'clock sometimes seven o'clock
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in the evening, drive home to visit, for example, also
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the effort of our monastery and having conversations with him,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: looking exchanging ideas what might be like the next steps,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And then already the evening has come and the next
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the next training is happening. Yeah, and then just the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: day repeats again.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: The more easy reachable it becomes for the messes, it
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: is my perspective, the less deep.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It can go. Because because the teaching, in order to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: be easily understood, in order to be easily accepted, must
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: be held on such an easy level, on such a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: basic level that somebody who has nothing to do with
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it yet also finds it appealing to actually try out.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So the entrance is easy. But what I'm telling you is,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: or what my personal training is, it's not easy. My
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: emphasis why I do the training is as long as
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it's easy, that's not the training. I do the training
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to get started until it gets heart and then it matters.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: This is my philosophy about why I'm using the martial arts. Yeah,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and so that means to continuously push yourself.
