Dear those who are reading this message, if you are having a hard time, remember that you are not alone and never give up. I wish you health, success, love and happiness!

I'm married to a mentally ill woman. These practices have helped me mentally more than I could have imagined. Thank you for this teaching. The best part for me is spending time in prayer with God.

This is rehab the best rehab for addicts for anything. The journey begins.

What a gentle soul you are. The non judgemental vibe is beautiful.

I had a bad day today. I’m a carer for a very disabled husband and the universe sent me a curve ball! Back to basics is a key message so thank you Venerable Nick🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am telling this first thing to my husband for a really long time because as kids I'm trained to sleep at 9pm . The world used to shut around me at 8 at night . It was new to me to experience waking up late and I can never get into habit of staying up late. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise😅🙏❤️🎉 my uncle has his gym in the house and seeing that growing up made me think it's really a part of life to do excercise. I choose yoga and meditation by myself at the age of 16 after trying all kinds of exercises. Having these 3 habits already, my hormones were so balanced that I used to eat less and granny was strict abt lunch time only. I feel beyond lucky being born in a house where all these habits were part of everyday life and routine. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 I'm always thankful to my elders at each and every step of my life for bringing all good habits to my life with love.

Fixing my sleep would help with all the others!

The sleep routine is HUGE. I have finally got this set in stone, but it took me many years of staying up too late, not getting enough sleep and then being tired and cranky. Trying to do too much, and being overstimulated. The sleep routine starts one to two hours before bed time. Plants lights go off, night lights go on. The nature sounds I play almost 24/7 shift from day sounds to night sounds (corresponding to the season), shades get drawn when the days are long so as to create the atmosphere for it. Even as I type this my 4 year old daughter is nodding off waiting for me to finish writing. We are in bed about 7:30-8. I try to meditate until 8:30, then go to sleep by 9 EVERY night and I get up at 5 (sometimes six on Saturday). This gives me a solid 8 hours. Do not skip the routine on weekends. Every night is the same. I used to like staying up late on the weekends but the time I gained was lost in the morning with sleeping in. Now I find I enjoy the early mornings far more where I can sit in quiet stillness and contemplation since the city is still sleeping in from staying up too late. So the world is mine. Peers I work with that struggle with mental health (which is pretty much everyone now) I tell the same; try a consistent proper night's sleep and a healthful diet, it will transform your life more than any medication and therapy.

This list of habits is certainty doable. Blessings to you Venerable Nick for once again presenting such simple and life enhancing actions. You are the best. It's 11 pm now here in Pennsylvania and I am turning in. Good night and peace to anyone reading this❤.

I recently retired and my daily rituals have been thrown into a bit of chaos after having good habits/rituals for many years. When working, I found that my work hours were like an anchor, before which and after which, I had a chain of habits including exercise, meditation, etc., and now, even though I have more time, I'm struggling. Thanks for this motivation to work toward establishing some new daily rituals.

In Ayurveda they say: “Your day starts the night before”. I highly respect wisdom of Ayurveda, so I couldn’t agree more. I recently found out that I have ADHD (going to bed late is very common among ADHDers). So I enjoy going to bed late as it is very peaceful and quiet at nighttime, as there are far less distractions. I am working on going to bed earlier, and I have made some progress. When I succeed at getting up early, I am far more “efficient” the next morning, in every way. And the body loves the stability of a nighttime routine. ADHD also means having a hyperactive mind, even if you are not physically hyperactive (as it is in my case), and I am not in favor of meds for ADHD. I would rather change my schedule.

You confirmed that I am hearing in the right direction, which explains why my life is quiet, peaceful, orderly, good, and getting even better. As always, thank you and blessings to you and your family.

My mental health crashed 3 weeks ago, just under 3 weeks ago I walked past a man dressed in orange, something I’d never seen before. I googled what dressing in orange meant. The algorithm must have informed YouTube. So when I went onto YouTube, there you were. Within two days of coming out of hospital, I’ve had you by my side listening to your advice, I wasn’t left alone. It’s a strange turn of events. Thank you so much 🙏

I don’t know if this all meant to be, but what you’ve mentioned in your video is what I need in my life. My habits and the way I’ve been dealing with struggles in life is what is setting me back. Bad habits are leading me to exhaustion and unnecessary stress

I appreciate your 6 habits to follow in life. .I will start with 10 pm bedtime and meditation before bedtime. Also, waking up early and eating only two meals a day and walking everyday. I believe in drinking water with my meals and after waking up, and before bedtime. What has memory, so therefore have loving thoughts when drinking water. Love and gratitude.

It sounds so acessible and sensible that I am asking why I am living without these good habits and searching for complicated solutions .Thank you very much for stressing the role of them, your wordas are a treasure! 😊

Omg. I love this. Exactly what I need to hear. I'm so off track. I did have a ritualistic life for years and I was balanced my energy was good. I fell off track and took up some bad habits. I'm transforming back to the way I used to be. This is so helpful in keeping it simple. Thank you ❤❤❤

I realised yesterday that I love waking up before the world. I pack my husband's lunch, decide what I will cook for dinner, have quiet time, study and be there to greet him when he leaves for work. Then I go outside for some sunshine and be present for my little adopted girl who studies online through UCT. I am from Cape Town and have followed you for so many years. I like that you don't take yourself too seriously. I learnt not to be so ainal after watching your videos. I appreciate your effort. Thank you Nick.
