Thanks for watching.
Let's check in. How did you do this week?
I make my bed everyday. It’s always the first thing I do in the morning and I’m able to do it mindfully without getting rushed into the day 😊
Yes, I make my bed every day 🤗
7 days Nick, I picked up this habit after my children left home. As you say it is a very calming habit.
Thank you for your wisdom. I made my bed every single day the past week. It is now a ritual and I enjoy it first thing in the morning.
Tip for those who are time poor in the morning.
Keep your bedroom and bedding simple. 😜
I didn't make my bed for years, but started some months ago. I don't do it very well, only 10 seconds.
But these 10 seconds press a certain button in the head that triggers tons of ideas of little improvements in life, that also only take seconds.
Wonderful!!! We will take it 😆😆 keep it up my friend
I have made my bed every day for the past 40 years.
Amazing my friend 😊😊
Yes! I did. Every morning. Also, I cleaned the kitchen sink before retiring for the night. It’s wonderful to get up to a tidy kitchen in the morning. Hope you are well.
Wonderful! So glad to hear 😊
I make mine every morning without fail because I love getting into a clean made bed x
Every. Single. Day.
My morning routine has changed my life, literally…
1- don’t check phone first thing
2-think of everything I’m grateful for
3-imagine the kind of day I want
4-smile
5-make the bed
6-prayer/meditation
7-high vibe music
Since doing this routine my days have been magical. Of course the day and events ebb and flow, but it’s having that awareness of that fact and being able to shift my perspective…
Wow! So inspiring!!
I had two teachers (a couple) who followed a traditional northern North American indigenous cultural practice.
They’d get dressed first thing in the morning. Then they’d go (walk) to the wildest place they could find (in cities finding anyplace wild nearby can be a challenge!)
Then they’d place an offering of tobacco (a plant considered to be sacred) on the ground and give thanks to the Creator for all they were grateful for!
I used to do that too. But haven’t for years. Might be a practice for me to renew. I lack enthusiasm for words like “Creator”, etc. But that’s not necessary either. The simple gratitude is more than enough! 😊
The tobacco was a problem for me bc the common smoking of it was such a destructive force in my and my family’s life.
But that’s not the plant’s fault! Lol
I always make my bed. I love how clean my bedroom looks when it’s done and how satisfying it is to go under the sheets of a well-made bed.
7 days for me, Nick you mentioned this awhile back and I’ve been spot on for putting the bedding and bedroom together before the start of the day.
Wow! So great! Keep it up 😊😊
Got me there Nick, I need to start doing it more regularly my friend. great reminder, much love
14 times as I live in Spain and here we have a siesta…... I open the balcony doors and let the air in as it creates a whoosh from one door to another.i enjoy looking at the creases in the linen and the colours mustard and forest green. I tidy the room before I leave it so that when I arrive it’s peacefully ordered. No tv at home neither, since a few years ago. Prefer selective viewing 😊. Wishing you a good day.
There is definately something in making ones bed. It sets up order to the day. I do need to get more focused into doing it every day. Only twice this week. It's funny because when I was feeling down last week somebody told me "Have you made your bed?.....It's the first step" How very true these words are.
Bless you Nick, Suffolk, UK 💜🙏
Never made my bed before in the morning. I have been doing it every day. I wasn’t going to do it yesterday but thought of your advice. Listen to you at least twice a day. I am 71.
Definitely every day Ven. Nick. I hope you are enjoying Singapore.
I generally don’t make my bed, because it’s a comfortable space that I tend to lounge around in. I also work from home and may take naps here and there. Maybe I spend too much time in bed and making it would keep me out of it, so I can spend more time awake. Thanks for the short 🤍
Thank you and yes give it a test. See if it helps 😊
5 out of 7 for me! Thanks for checking in, Nick! ❤
Wonderful my friend! Keep going 😊😊
Yes. So satisfifying, easy, simple and takes less than a minute plus helps me appreciate my lovely bed and good sleep.Once you start you wont leave your room without doing it again. Thank you. ❤
You're so welcome!
I ALWAYS make my bed. It sets me up for the day!
😊😊
I now make my bed every morning giving myself an important start to my day. Love and light always 🙏🏻❤️
After watching your video and needing to have some order out of the chaos of my life I have done it every day. Thank you!
Totally agreed, Ven. Nick. Thank you for checking in🙏Knowing how beneficial to my mind since you first started talking about it few years ago, I’ve made it my habit to tidy my bed first thing in the morning. But, I’ve a confession to made. Currently on the way to recovering from Covid. So I’ve not been tidying my bed since Monday because I slept day and night. Looking forward to resume my habit soon when I don’t need to sleep so much😊
I'm making my bed every day and its really a great lesson in so many ways. It forces me to stop, concentrate and focus on a task to complete that strengthens my mind, keep my home neat and gives me pride,. All things we could all use , especially when starting your day . Add a few minutes of meditation and the day is off to a great start😌
I really like these types of "check-ins" , they help alot , and I hope you continue them! Thank you Ven. Nick
I live making my bed. When you are ready to go to sleep, the bed looks so inviting and peaceful
😊😊
Still making my bed been thankful.
Wonderful 😊
Dear Nick, since I saw your video about making my bed every morning I did not miss one time. I think I’ve been making it a habit since the spring of 2022. It is so easy and it makes me feel so good. Thank you for your helpful content on this channel. Thank you so much. 🙏☀️👋
Aww these types of updates are amazing! Please keep it up and continue to inspire others Thorsten 😊😊😊
6 days 😊 I got my husband to do it together, it really sets the tone for our day
I get up VERY early for work…..
make my bed every
Morning! 😁👍🏻
😊😊
Each and every day the bed is made before leaving for work or something else, a daily routine 😊🙏🏼
Wonderful 😊😊
Everyday. 🛏 👍🏻
Every day! A little thing that makes a big difference.
Yes, everyday my bed is made. So is my morning routine. Bless you for caring for me & all followers.
You are so welcome! Thank you
every day, although on a few days it took me a little bit longer to get around to it than i would like to 😅
😆😆
Every day, my brother. 🙏
Wonderful to hear 😊😊
Yes, I am practicing every day. 🙏 🙏 🙏
😊😊
6 out of 7 days and I learned very fast why it really is beneficial to practice this daily! 👍🏻👍🏻
Wonderful my friend. Keep it up 😊
Greetings from Tennessee. I make my bed every morning before I leave the bedroom. I have been doing this all of my life. My mom asked us to do this when we were kids. ❤️🙏🏼🎶
Every single morning 🌄 it's such a important duty for me!
Hola Nick! I just saw the video and laughed with the title just checking in! 😂😂 Everyday I do my bed after I clean my face and brush my teeth! It's a process I used to do from home and continue doing it for many years. Also going on summer camps as a child I was obligated to do my bed and follow the rules. It gives me a real satisfaction to make my bed and have my room in order as much as I can. It allows me to be calm before I begin my morning meditation!! Thank you as always! Love and blessings to you and the sanga ❤️🙏Sadhu
Just wanted to say how much I love your calm nature & I make my bed every morning because of your teachings . Thank you for blessing so many each day with your kind words and presence ❤
Aww thank you so much 😊
I stopped the video and ran to make my 🛏️ bed.... thank you for the reminder 😊
I love that 😆😆
Every day! For years I do this and I love it 💛
Thank you for checking in.
I love your shorts and in this one You remind me of my mother when I was a child! Our inside isn’t good if our outside is in a mess but….before making the bed, open the window for new air even cold….necessary to start the day great🙋🏻♀️🇪🇸
Every day thanks to you Nick
Everyday since I was a kid and now I'm 61. My mom and grandmother did the same.🙂🙏🏽🧘🏽♀️
Wow so amazing!
🙏🏻 It's a yes from me ! Every morning ..so nice then to come back to at bedtime ⭐🌙
Everyday i clean my bed, but since my part of mind training now, it becomes more meaningful. Its my routine a long time ago, but now its different. Thanks for keeping us in touch.
LOL it might be the only task I do daily 😬 7 out of 7 & I'm STILL a mess so I'm working backwards Nick. Appreciate your leadership.
A powerful victory making your bed in the morning. An orderly day ahead
Every day. The reason? You talked about this in a previous video. Every time I make my bed when I don’t really feel like it I hear your words I heard that day. … ‘don’t be lazy’ 😅. You were quite right though! When I return to my room it’s feels relaxed and ordered, ready for rest.
I have to say that know I am doing my bed every day in a simple way. Thank you so much. As you said I am working with the small victories ,also I say a word to be thank full for another day .
I make it every day since watching your video about morning routines. I use it to practice discipline (I’d rather go have a cup of coffee first) and gratitude (safe and comfortable place to sleep, clean bedding etc). Thank you for this gift.
I have failed of making my bed in the morning, because of busy schedules with my kids to school and work, Thanks for your reminding of a good habit and care about ourselves สาธุ สาธุ สาธุ อาจารย์นิก
I started doing it everyday after my sister told me so. That was years ago now. I also make sure to open my blinds and let the light into my home. It really does make a difference in my morning routine.
Sorry I throw my covers off & go straight down to care for my dad. I will try to do it ❤️
😊😊
every single day..Clean sheets on Fridays. I also make it as beautifully as possible.
Beautiful!!! I love it 😊
5 out of 7 times last week. Doing the best I can☺️
Wonderful Lynda 😊😊
@@nickkeomahavong01 thanks!☺️
Yes I make my bed everyday. It’s a daily habit for me.😊
I or my spouse, depending on who roses first, make our bed daily; every morning.
Wonderful 😊
Ven. Nick I always make my bed first thing in the morning after you mentioned some time ago I feel so peaceful through out the day
I love hearing that 😊 keep it up Regina!
Every day! It's part of my morning routine since two years. 🛏️
I do make it upon rising. Sometimes my kitties try to 'help' me and together we get it done. Blessings.
Wonderful 😊😊
0…however I’m on my way to my room NOW! 🤦🏻♀️
😆😆
Every day for the past 10 years 😊
Good morning Nick
Everyday…after you spoke it some while back, thank you for sharing your wisdom 😊
Wonderful! Keep up the great work 😊
EVERY MORNING!
Thx for the reminder. I'll start .....again
I just started again to make my bed the end of this week. I was doing really well…then fell into my bad habit of just getting out of bed after meditating and going to make coffee. It really is so nice to walk into a room with a nicely made bed.
Wonderful my friend. Just keep working on improving the habit 😊
@@nickkeomahavong01 I will 😊🙏
I live in the tropics, only have a sheet so it’s not really bed making, just sheet patting 😂
I made my bed and as an act of generosity my partner's bed as well. I am just recovering after surgery, been struggling with low mood and anxiety as well, but feeling better now. I am watching your videos Nick, and find them helpful ❤
Have a speedy recovery my friend 😊
Every single morning (for the last 6 months)
Wow! Wonderful work 😊
I've been making my bed everyday.😊😊
Wonderful 😊

Beautiful!!! 😊
Almost never, especially the days I’m working cuz I’m always in a hurry

Absolutely, yes, I make the bed the moment I get out of it every morning. Thank you for a reminder of how important a habit it actually is. 👍😍
I believe Pythagoras and Jordon Peterson concur. Me too.
😊😊
6 out of 7, 💗 Thank you 🌸🙏🌸
every day !!
Everyday!!! While the dog goes out, then he returns and takes over.
😆😆
Every day
Wonderful 😊
Have I? It depends on timing after my husband gets up and before I leave for work. Sometimes if not am it will be pm before bed. What ever works maybe.
Thanks to a good friend and now you, yes, I do make my bed every single day now. I am very very mindful about now. While some days I don't want to do it, I do, and it does feel good. Thank you! 🙏
Yes!!! I’ve practicing it everyday and it makes me very happy every time I see it through out the day. Amazingly, little thing that makes a big difference in my daily life! 🙏🙏🙏❤️thank You with all my heart
Yes, I do make my bed
Everyday
Wonderful 😊
Every time you remind me...
Almost everyday, I have been making up my bed for the past 4 years.
Last week, I was fired from work. Now Im so disheartened. I have make up my bed only 2 times this past week.
Oh no. I’m sorry to hear about your situation.
@@nickkeomahavong01 Master Nick. Do you do live streams? Q&A or meditation?
I live in Amsterdam and I cant find a religious Buddhist meditation school
