The Bones of a Good Ayurvedic Routine (Ayurveda Routine 4 of 18)

So, what makes a good routine? The basic foundation, the bare minimum of a good routine is the following. That you get out of bed the same time each day. That you sit down to meals at the same time each day. And that you go to bed at the same time each day. And that is the fundamental of a good routine. And of course routine can be improved beyond that as well. But if you have that minimum structure, that minimum skeleton, everything is going to start to fall into place. So, what are some of the ways you can improve your routine beyond that structure? Well, one Ayurveda places a lot of emphasis on what you do in the morning. A good start to the day is essential. So, we put our contemplative practices in the beginning of the day so that you can stay focused, right? If you spend some time and contemplation in the beginning of the day, you're going to make, you know, you create space to make good decisions for your day and to plan your day instead of just reacting through your day. You can create a workday routine to stay sane through the stress of the day. You can add an exercise routine for those who have difficulty falling asleep. A good nighttime routine may be essential as well. As you start to build a good routine, don't start all components at once because that is very disruptive. You want to create new routines slowly. Slow change equals stable change. All right, let's get into routine for dosha and season, and then we're going to do for morning, midday, and evening.
