Guided Morning Routine - (Stoic Meditation at end)
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- This is a slightly modified version of my morning routine, it's designed to be listened to first thing in the morning as an alarm clock or just by pressing play. Bluetooth headphones recommended, or at least use your phone so you can move about the house.
I've struggled to maintain solid morning and evening routines for ages. Using this method I've had nearly 100% success for the last several months, I hope it helps other people too.
This routine is obviously not tailor made for you, we all have different goals and priorities, but focus on testing the process of using a recorded routine, does a recorded routine work for you? If it does, perhaps I can create more customized one in the future.

Please let me know if you like these. I want to know if they work for other people too.
(If they do then I'll likely offer them hosted as mp3s so they're easier to consume, but will wait for your feedback first)

I, indeed, like this and would want to customize both morning and evening to suit my day.
What kind of washing are you doing in ~3m? Cool concept but could do with an alternate version for those who can't shower the night before.
@@eightbo cold showers are quick!
Shouldn't stretching come before exercise?
@@anitaares8271 Wartm up → Exercise → Warm down.
Think of stretching as a transitional period between a neutral state and one where the blood is flowing.
I'm a recovering alcoholic 3 days sober now and I've been following this and the stoic teachings in general for about a week. It truly has made a massive difference in helping me get over that first hurdle, those crucial first days. And it is really nice to start my day with some energy as I've become so used to mornings being hell, thanks your channel is awesome.
for whatever its worth, Kava kava is a nice alcohol replacement . I periodically quit drinking and cycle in Kava drinks at night. The problem a lot of people will have with alcohol is balance and moderation. All or nothing thinking seems to lead people into benders. Good luck.
Good luck! You can do it!!!! ❤❤❤
Day 2 I’m fifteen and a change that i noticed right away is that even though i wake up not in a great mood bc of online school I’m more thankful with my mom and treat her in a better way .
Thanks for uploading this meditations
Man, if you're doing this at 15, you'll be omnipotent by 30!! Best of luck and keep on keeping on
How is it going?
wow you are an inspiration Desecrator.... it took me till 45 yo to get an handle on how much more enjoyable my life can be with this mindset.
well wishes from la
How is it going?? Are you still practicing it? If yes tell us much more changes that you found out in your self.
@@danchisholm1 dude you're a g, 45 years young! (21 myself haha)
I've been using this for a month straight. At this point I can't imagine waking up without it.
Dude after my first day of using this, I had so much energy that I just walked and walked and walked. From like 7am-3pm. My body is now hurting too much to do the jumping Jack's.
I'm still using this, I'm very glad it's here.
This has helped me get out of bed in the morning and can influence the rest of my day. I'll write and record my own half hour routine to fit my needs. Just a few minutes of exercise daily does make a huge difference in how we feel emotionally and if you're as old as me use it or lose it isn't a joke.
Having an audio routine seems like such a simple and obvious idea in retrospect but it honestly never occurred to me. It really helps so much so much to keep the momentum going. Going to have to figure out how to make my own now. Game changer!
Day 2 I’m fifteen and a change that i noticed right away is that even though i wake up not in a great mood bc of online school I’m more thankful with my mom and treat her in a better way .
So thanks for this meditation planning on doing it for at least 2 months unltil i make my own
I'm so excited about adding this 30min routine to my waking time at 5.00am..then I will go walking and sun gazing and soak in the beauty of nature watch the sun come up and watch the waves breaking on the shore...ABSOLUTE BLISS. I'm 69 and have the luxury of taking in the beauty of life whenever..I'm so fortunate.
I’m fifteen years old, and have been using it for 3 days, thank you so much! All the power! 💪 All the love! ❤️
All the best to you, @Auke , who is now 17☺️. Wishing you a wonderful future 🌻🌻🌻
I have used this fairly consistently for a year and I can say that I am more disciplined and focused at the start of every day. The days I don’t do it I notice a difference in my attitude. Thanks for this.
This was really fantastic! I'm not a morning person, now that I'm semi-retired morning routines have gone out the window! This is really great for helping me get done in a short period of time, what I need to get done.
Meditation/routine or not, an invaluable general point that was made here will really help me: to find what one already has one within oneself to deal with a situation. Most "self-help" and philosophical approaches to daily life often suggest trying to apply a technique or learn a technique. I've actually never heard anyone suggest looking within for one's own strengths/virtues (even though - or especially because -we might not always be aware that we have them).
Brilliant but I go to the bathroom first then dress up so I decided to record this with my own voice.
Hearing your own voice in is probably terrible! Not anything against you, but I don't wanna hear myself every morning!
@@matthewsmith6931 Well, you do hear your voice in your head anyway.
@@denise76ball sack
@@denise76I dont 😅 Its usually the voice I heard last that plays in my head
I just pause it, make coffee, feed the cats then restart! Love it! 🎉
This routine has changed my life
"The time you have is this present moment is this present moment... And this one... And this one..." Hasn't made me not shed a tear yet
I wish I could send him my list of things I’m supposed to do in the a.m. (walk for instance because I’m in physical therapy, take medication, etc) and he’d make an audio routine. I’d pay for it!!! Still, I’ll be using this!! Thank you! ❤❤❤
I have a slightly different routine so I pause the video do what is needed then restart it.
This is a genius idea! I think I need to make my own because I like to take a shower before anything else, but I can already see this improving my mornings! Thank you!!
Same here...shower before getting dressed
Yes same. The routine shouldn't be similar.. Same counts for the visions.
I used this guided routine this morning and it definitely made a difference in my mood and how I woke up. I have set the goal to use this routine this entire week. Thank you for the wonderful content.
For years I suffered from Insomnia I would be awake all night and crash out about 5.00am then wouldn't want to wake when I had to be at work at 7.30. I decided I would get up at 5.00am every morning instead of crashing out after a week I was going to bed every night and totally crashing out till 5.00am it changed my life. I was functioning to full capacity and getting so much more done in those early morning hours. I'm totally on board with going to bed at the same time and waking up the same time every morning and committing to a daily routine. It works it will change your life.
Day 4 of doing the routine. I did not want to do it today, but I managed to push past that and went through the motions. I feel much better and more present.
Day 5 of doing the routine. Today was much easier than yesterday. I really enjoy how little thought I have to put into this, as it's all been layed out for me. I'm a forth of the way to reaching my goal, which is 20 days straight. This is a great start for my journey with stoicism.
Day 6 of doing the routine. I was not able to complete the routine,but I started it, so I'm counting that as a win
Day 7 of the routine. There was a bit of a crisis in my home today so I felt more defeated going into it, but having one thing in my life under control really helps.
Day 8 of doing the routine. Was the first thing I thought to do when I got up, it went very smoothly.
Day 9 of doing the routine. Not looking forward to today, but I'm glad I'm almost halfway to my goal
Day 10 of doing the routine.
Day 11 of doing the routine.
Day 12 of doing the routine. I didn't fully finish, but I started it, so I'm proud of me.
Day 13 of doing the routine

I love this, thank you for sharing.
Review: I've been using this video every morning for the past month and I can honestly say that it has really helped me become focused and ready for the day. I started listening to the video during finals week for school and I was able to plan and get all my shit done for school + extra work. I've also been attempting to practice stoicism in my life, so it's a perfect way to begin the day. Thank you so much for making this video! Could you make an evening routine specifically for stoicism??
Jason Converse ye I am trying to get into stoicism as well. Finals are coming up, and I need to study for my SATs. Hopefully this will help me to become less of a perfectionism and more of a do-er.
How can i make this an alarm?
Thank you, Mr Homer, for the hard work you’ve put in making Stoicism very accessible (and helpful) to today’s world
Day 3, I am loving this, I want to follow it for 30 days straight
Thanks. Beautiful intent comforts heals rejuvenates. Thank you always
This is brilliant. I think I’ll replace the first part with my own routine and listen to the stoic meditation, but I could already see how this can bring meaning into a life.
Thanks that u exist at the same time I am living on this planet
Thank you for taking your time to carefully make this.
This exercise of imagining losing something (or someone) important gets to me so hard. Thank you for all your effort. Keep up the good work, dear sir.
What a great rush, I had so much fun challenging myself to get ready for the day ❤
I just want to say thank you for creating this morning routine. I just started this just 2 days ago and it has helped me go through my day and over come the obstacles that has stopped me from going through my day. I will be following this routine day to day in the morning. Thank you!
Just wanted to update that I am still doing this routine. Thank you once again.
Ive got a good morning routine.. I wake up without alarm, whenever the hell I feel like it, usually 4:30am sometimes 3:30am sometimes 5:30am... But the first thing I do is 100 situps. I just roll out of bed and go. Ive been doing this for 4 years now without missing a day except when I had covid. The next thing I do is go for a 3-8 mile walk or run while it's still dark and there are no people to distract me. When I get back, I cook some oats drink tea and muddle around checking emails, reading statements, playing guitar, meditating, or journaling as I please.
What I do and it works for me, is I keep my expectations of myself super low and meet them regularly, but I stay consistent with my constant but low level challenges. This avoids burnout.
This is what I needed. Day 1.
Nice thing to make people follow their routine. Thanks man!!
This is great, thank you! First day. I'm an early riser and have certain routine set up because of the pets I have at home. I rather look out after their needs first and then focus on mine, so I'll be adjusting the routine to best suit my needs, but for now I'm sitting down after a long stretch and contemplation of how my day will be and writing it down. We'll keep updating
Exactly, everyone has a different routine. Although I was thinking it may be possible to have drag-and-drop customizable ones in the future, if the concept is successful.
@@VoxStoica That would be awesome!
It’s day 34...thank you for posting this video, it has led to so many other things that have awakened my mind and put me on a course with true living. Nature provides all that we need, if only we go easy and work within her laws. Gently pursue those things that are within our control and to those that are not, leave those things to nature.
Do you wake up and put the video on or did you manage it as an alarm?
I'm at the point now that I have modified the wakeup routine, but I continue to use the "stoic meditation" which is the last 12 minutes.
Now at day 139. It has gotten much easier. I’ve alway been a morning person, but now with clearly defined order and structure it is absolutely true...discipline equals freedom.
Been following for 9 days. It has made my anxieties lessen and helps me get up (previously impossible). Thanku ❤
Day 20
I can’t stop CZcams otherwise I can’t learn from You !
Thank you 🙏🏻
This is the one we need !
❤❤❤
This has helped me so much! A suggestion for another version: A guided meditation which can help during the unpredicted moments in life. It is great to start my day with this, but when something unexpected happened, I find myself wishing I had someone to guide me again through my thinking processes of accepting and overcoming the unexpected situations. I go back to this video sometimes, but wish there was another guided meditation that focuses only on the meditations.
Interesting! I like this. I'm brand new to the channel so I'm going to poke around and see if such a video has been created. I know I could definitely use one! ☺️
One of the best meditations I've ever experienced! Thank you so much
Hey vox just want to say thanks for this routine. This has helped me a ton.
Excellent! I will be incorporating this into my morning routine.
Trying it tomorrow and onwards. Thanks, this seems very helpful.
Two weeks in doing the meditation, really helpful! Thank you!
3rd day following both mornings and night, feel a lot better about myself, I am more able to control my tough, thank you for your work
One month in so far, I love this and the evening one, very helpful!
Thank you for doing the work and creating this meditation. Please keep making
This is keeping me sane during quarantine
This is just simple and very powerful thank you for this it sure makes you aware of your own actions every day thank you
Thank you so much! I’m gonna give it a try and let you know after doing it for one week
I am so much enegetic and happy after followinh this routine , I really appreciate your effort
It works for me and it’s been taking me through my mornings
Thank you
Thank you for this!
Thank you!
I've never encountered anything like this on youtube! I'm not gonna just try, I'm GOING to implement this into my life! Thank you for taking the time to make this amazing video! Just subbed! 💪
So how did it go?
@@aadaanmez8097 - Pretty well! I used it as a starter to get me going on a scheduled routine until I could form one of my own based on my preferences.
@@JTPCovers that sounds great. I wish you the best of luck in continuing.
I like the concept of this. Also watched a few of your other videos. You've gained a new subscriber.
This helps me get back to center and refocus my life. Thank you
I LOVE this...thank You💝
What’s the very last song? This is incredible mate, thanks so much!
This is going to change my life, I can feel it in my bones
I need more than two minutes to get dressed...choosing what to wear alone takes ten minutes, if done quickly... :)
Thank you for posting, you have introduced an old and dear friend to me: Seneca.
An act for which I am eternally in your debt...
Ah but if you follow the evening routine as well then you'll have the clothes laid out the night before ;)
Brilliant, thank you.
Thank you very much for this video. It’s helping me!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for this wonderful routine ☺
Thanks
grateful for this. Thank you.
I think of my dear Father who was a man or Orfer and discipline which I fall so short in. I will think of him looking over my shoulder RIP
I was glad to learn I already do these things. I even feed my cat and the roadrunners in my backyard.
The benefits of having a stoical father, who trained me to get up early as well.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you for this morning routine. It really helps me get started doing helpful things. I love it!❤
This is brilliant. I'm going to try this out tomorrow. Love from the Philippines.
Amazing video, thank you for this
Great meditation I have been using for months now
Very cool, Man.
thank you
Everyday i check the number of view and its is growing, congratulation, everyone is following the rotine.
about 70 views/users a day :)
Thanks so much. You’re truly a great person.
I am committing to using this morning routine for the next week. I’ve really struggled with getting out of bed/having routine so interested to see how I get on. It’s night now so gonna start tomorrow. Gonna journal my progress here (so if this is my final update you know I failed).
With you on this journey brother !
Haha well I'll hope to see another update. Go for it!
Day one: moderate success. Followed once I was awake but set up a new alarm that didn’t go off so was up late. Need to figure out how to use this vid, or at least its audio, as alarm on iPhone.
Day two: success! Been a very productive Sunday! And I think this routine deserves most, if not all, the credit. Still haven't got it set up as a working alarm, and not sure if I can with what I'm working with (any suggestions welcome. got iPhone (plugged into speaker/alarm) and Google Home). Tomorrow will be a test, given it's a workday... but I'm committed!
Day three: success! Was VERY tempted to hit snooze but my better self just about won the argument. Had a frustrating day so about to meditate on the day in hopes of success in morning. Committed!
This is a fantastic initiative, thank you Robin!
For version 2, maybe have some customisable options eg. Choosing the activities to include/not include in this routine and setting varying times for each activity. If one wants to shower therefore needs more than 5 minutes in washroom. An app may be required for these extra features so I understand if you cba
You read my mind. I want to make a customizable version, although I'm not much of a programmer it may take a while.
@@VoxStoica I'm a programmer :) I'll be in touch.
Vox Stoica I’d buy that app. I use this morning routine Everyday and it’s brilliant. I just had to pause it at the working out part because I work out a little longer 😅
Oh I would love an app! Any updates on this?
Awesome video. I need to record my own morning routine to match what works best for me.
Using this in 2021!
Hi Robin, this is very good. Perhaps for the next one you could break the video into parts so that we can choose the bit we need. For example, I don't have any problem getting up. Best wishes, John
This is what i needed🤩
please make more of these videos!
I have never thought a guided routine would get me to do the things I've been putting off. Thank you sir. It really cleared my mind and gave me clarity in what I am doing.
Ok, I'll try it for a week.
Hey there, I've been following your channel for just a few days and I love the stoic meditation part of the morning routine. I have been creating my own routine (i make my bed right after my feet hit the floor, dress after time in the bathroom, and exercise directly after my morning cup of tea, and then go to my garden for an hour before returning to my desk for work). I try to wake at 5 or 6 daily on weekdays or weekends. And the change is amazing... I front load my day when my mind is fresh and the productivity skyrockets. I've only been practicing stoicism as a trial for a month or so, but it has transformed my life. Thank you for this content. Would you consider doing a video of strictly the meditation part?
Thanks :)
I shall commit to do this each morning for the next month.
Started this today. Will provide feedback after 1 week by replying to this comment
Everything's gotten better, and keeps on improving. Fantastic.
I just found it. Can't wait to observe how my life will change
Your voice is legendarily good
DAY 1
Started felt solid basically use the time stamps didnt really adhere to much as I have my own stretching stuff but the meditation was great dont really know any mindset changes yet will update
I'd just slide getting dressed down between stretch and meditation. I seldom sleep in the nude lol. Will give it a try. Thank you for all of your content. It's been making quite a difference since I came across it.
Thank you so much! This is incredible!!! Any chance there's a written transcript available?
I modified this a little as I usually have a bath in the morning. When you say get dressed, I begin running the bath, then I do all of the morning tasks, like stretching and exercise and by the time I am to the stoic meditiation the bath is run, so I do that in the bath, then wash my hair and get dressed. On the days I don't have a bath I still get dressed at the same time, simply for the sake of routine. I should mention my shower is broken, or I'd have a quick shower instead.
Would be great as a file on my phone. So I could put it as alarm!
This is incredible! Thank you for this! Does anyone know any way I could actually set this as my alarm clock?
Copy the link of this video, go to a youtube converter page, and download it as mp3.
@@legacyX20 There's a cool app called Alarmore where you can choose any CZcams video to wake up to
Please can you do another one where you get up and go to the bathroom first? I think most of us do that and then get dressed.
Thank you so much for this
Thank you for your efforts. I appreciate it. You are a good man.
Thanks...edit: Its y5:24 am and I am in Geeveston Tasmania Australia..I have yet to be evacuated and fires past. I got dressed and wrote this.
Woah. How's it going, did you get evacuated or have the fires burnt out?
Thank you for your work. If you did just the meditation part, I think that would have most utility for most people, especially if you put it on SoundCloud so the listener doesn't need the screen on.
@@devincarter7434 You can not buy nor sell what I have.
Fires are under control and here I am?
Just an opinion, use affirmations, a meditation or better music in between, you'll have something really good. I like the idea of being mindful.
Thanks a lot for the feedback
@@VoxStoica WE could do a collab, I d love to add subliminal affirmations to this project
Isn't stoicism more about being "mindless" (in a good way)...rather than "mindful?"
