The sages suggest a 10-step morning routine they call the Ten Rituals of Radiant Living to help you live this virtue

The Ten Rituals of Radiant Living are a simple morning routine that covers everything you need

Six hours of sleep and seeing the sunrise. Of course, you have to figure out how much you need yourself, but this is what they suggest.

1. The Ritual of Early Awakening

Always make a few minutes to practice silence after waking up.

2. The Ritual of Solitude

Move, get up, do some exercise. Whatever gets the blood flowing.

3. The Ritual of Physicality

A vegetarian diet based on fresh food is what the sages follow.

4. The Ritual of Live Nourishment

Keep your mind stimulated with a bit of reading or studying.

5. The Ritual of Abundant Knowledge

Did you do your best today? What could you have done better?

6. The Ritual of Personal Reflection

Listen to music often to never get stuck in a bad mood.

7. The Ritual of Music

Write down a short mantra you can repeat to yourself throughout the day.

8. The Ritual of Spoken Word

Always follow your principles. Write them down, be aware of them and stick to them.

9. The Ritual of Congruent Character

Ruthlessly live your priorities and remove everything else that’s unnecessary.

10. The Ritual of Simplicity

A trace of fragrance always remains on the hands that present you with roses.It’s a metaphor, which says whenever you help someone else, some of the benefits will come back right to you. You rarely know when and how, but karma always comes around. This doesn’t mean you have to join the salvation army, small, simple acts of kindness and compassion go a long way.

Selflessly serve others and you’ll be better off yourself

"Everything is created twice, first in the mind then in reality."

It’s a really inspiring story and I think whatever it will be, you’ll find out something interesting about yourself from it

Your identity is a mirror covered with dust. When you first look in the mirror, the truth of who you are and what you value is obscured. Clearing it may not be pleasant, but only when that dust is gone can you see your true reflection 👥

identity 

Spend a week tracking how much time you devote to the following: family, friends, health, and self. The areas where you spend the most time should match what you value the most. Say the amount of time that your job requires exceeds how important it is to you. That’s a sign that you need to look very closely at that decision. You’re deciding to spend time on something that doesn’t feel important to you

 AUDIT YoUR time

next step is to decide what your values are and whether your choices are in alignment with them. Contemplating monk values may help you identify your own<ol><li>Higher values</li><li>Lower values</li></ol>

CURATE YOUR VALUEs

Higher values propel and elevate us toward happiness, fulfillment and meaning. Lower values demote us toward anxiety, depression, and suffering

Higher & lower values

fearlessness, purity of mind, gratitude, service and charity, acceptance, performing sacrifice, deep study, austerity, straightforwardness, nonviolence, truthfulness, absence of anger, renunciation, perspective, finding the good, compassion toward all living beings, satisfaction, gentleness/kindness, integrity, determination ✨

Higher values according to Gita ♥️

It is impossible to build one’s own happiness on the unhappiness of others.

Why we Think we are Right Even When we are Wrong are we ashamed or grateful when we discover we were wrong about something? Are we defensive or intrigued when we find information that contradicts something we know? If we aren’t open-minded, we deny ourselves opportunities to learn, grow, and change

EGO IS AN OBSTACLE to GROWTH

You can only keep up the myth of your own importance for so long. If you don’t break your ego, life will break it for you

Importance of breaking 

Appreciate everything, even the ordinary. Especially the ordinary.

GRATITUDE It’s hard to believe that thankfulness could actually have measurable benefits, but the science is there. Gratitude has been linked to better mental health, self-awareness, better relationships, and a sense of fulfillment 🙌❤️

World’s Most Powerful DRUG

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. When you think like a monk, you’ll understand: -How to overcome negativity -How to stop overthinking -Why comparison kills love -How to use your fear -Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it -How to learn from everyone you meet -Why you are not your thoughts -How to find your purpose -Why kindness is crucial to success -And much more... Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast. In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.
