[EP28] Align your morning routines to your purpose · AWAKEN with Dylan Ayaloo: Inner Work, Healing, Yoga & Meditation

• 0:01
  we have an opportunity to align our morning routines, if you want, and really our day,
• 0:07
  not just the morning, but the rest of the day as well, to your purpose, your bigger why,
• 0:14
  your bigger intention. So whether it's from your New Year's resolution and intentions,
• 0:21
  and or your bigger why in this lifetime, if you've connected with that, then great. If you haven't,
• 0:28
  then no worries, it is a process. It's an opportunity to look at setting yourself up
• 0:36
  for success, so to speak, or rather stepping into your day in the highest frequency possible,
• 0:44
  in the best state possible internally, and also physically, so that you are in a resourceful place
• 0:52
  as you enter into the day and take on whatever the day brings you.
• 0:58
  So for me, personally, my routines are waking up in the morning.
• 1:03
  I generally would want to interrupt my mind.
• 1:07
  And before it starts to kick in and bring any thoughts of fear or doubt or worry or whatever it does,
• 1:15
  yes, and it still does that after even a couple of decades of meditating and doing yoga.
• 1:21
  That's just its job.
• 1:22
  that does that every morning when I wake up. It's like, right, you're awake. And then it starts to
• 1:26
  give me a whole list of stuff for me to be concerned about or pay attention to rather.
• 1:32
  And I generally like to start my day with meditation. So one of the first things I do,
• 1:37
  take care of any bodily functions, go to the bathroom, drink some water to wake up.
• 1:41
  Naturally, I don't start with coffee. I will start with water and then, or tea, like herbal tea. And
• 1:48
  I sit down and do my meditation. And what that does is that it allows, with our meditation,
• 1:53
  and it doesn't matter if someone is sitting through recording other podcasts, you're doing
• 1:57
  different forms of meditation. That's fine. In our meditation, we tend to ground into the earth,
• 2:03
  scan our body, and then expand outwards and connect into infinite intelligence, right? Source, divine,
• 2:10
  love, life, God, whatever word works for you. And through our connection to the divine,
• 2:16
  because I'm trained as a healer and a teacher of healers.
• 2:19
  I go through a series of healings,
• 2:20
  which actually we do in our meditations.
• 2:22
  So if you're doing our meditations,
• 2:24
  then I'm guiding you through it.
• 2:26
  And doing whatever healings on a physical level,
• 2:28
  emotional level,
• 2:29
  and then connecting into source or the divine.
• 2:33
  And also then manifesting the day ahead
• 2:36
  or manifesting whatever it is that I want.
• 2:38
  Hence the basics of that is connecting
• 2:40
  with the frequency of that future now
• 2:44
  belief structures that may block and then entering into the day at a high frequency.
• 2:50
  The other thing that really helps, and you can experiment with this because I don't think
• 2:54
  there's a hard and fast rule, is movement. Whatever amount of movement for me, it's yoga.
• 3:00
  Some days it's 20 minutes, it's half an hour, it's 45 minutes, an hour, some days it's longer.
• 3:05
  I would recommend some movement every day because you are ironing out the kinks in the body,
• 3:09
  you're working out the tension in the body. And it's difficult to be joyful, to be happy and in
• 3:15
  high vibrations when your body is full of restriction, constriction, tension, pain, aches.
• 3:22
  It's difficult to be happy and joyful when you're in pain. So the movement helps iron things out in
• 3:29
  the body as well as get it to its state of health and well-being. And then I tend to start into my
• 3:35
  day. So I'm not saying you need to do this. I'm just saying this is what I do. Feel free, something
• 3:41
  that works, then take it on. And the reason I have it like this is just from me experimenting with my
• 3:46
  mind, my body for about two decades. And this is where I'm at in my routines. I also recently in
• 3:55
  the last year or so started going to the gym. And just because of my, where my body's at right now
• 4:01
  in my journey with my body. I'm not a pro athlete anymore. So I have started doing gym workouts. So
• 4:07
  strength training and cardio as well, which is really good. Get the energy moving. And then
• 4:12
  any opportunity I get to walk or climb stairs, I tend to do that. I'm paying attention to my
• 4:20
  breath through the day. So it's not just going beyond morning routines. Because deep breathing,
• 4:25
  as you've heard me say many, many times, helps get you out of fight and flight into rest and digest.
• 4:32
  Even if there's an intense situation, I'm training myself to be in deep breathing and calm my nervous
• 4:40
  system down, calm down my stress responses so that I'm in a resourceful state and able to deal with
• 4:46
  whatever my day brings. And then it's whatever the tasks that I'm working on or engaged in,
• 4:52
  And if it requires creativity, if it requires connection and engagement, conversation, communication, then I bring myself into whatever state I need to to bring my best into each of those parts of my day.
• 5:08
  Other things I've played with as well, which I recommend, and some of you already do it, is gratitude practice.
• 5:13
  As simple as it may sound, simple doesn't always mean easy, and it actually really helps rewire the brain.
• 5:19
  So whether you do it in the morning or the night, it doesn't matter.
• 5:22
  do it before I go to sleep. Just kind of reflect on the day, acknowledgements and also gratitudes
• 5:28
  and it really helps. And sleep is another part. It's really important. So making sure you get
• 5:34
  the rest that you need, the sleep that you need. And when I'm off track, then I do what I need to
• 5:40
  do to catch up and get back on track. And sometimes it's counterintuitive or counter logic maybe,
• 5:46
  be, but it's intuitive. I'm off my sleep patterns. And that's when I know I need to get into the gym
• 5:53
  or on the yoga mat and move, right? And breathe. Or I need to get back on my meditation so that
• 5:59
  when I've done physical stuff and I've moved the emotions through, then I can get back on track
• 6:04
  with my sleep that night as well. So just some basics around routines. I said morning routine,
• 6:10
  but it's actually a routine. And it's aligning your day, aligning the things that you do in your
• 6:16
  morning onwards, gearing your day in such a way, gearing your life in such a way so that you can
• 6:22
  show up at your best in your day and your days and your year and your years so that you can live
• 6:29
  in your purpose, in your highest purpose, for your highest purpose to express through you.
