Recharge Your Mind With This Evening Routine | A Monk's Perspective
If you think a morning routine is important, then automatically, an evening routine should carry that same weight as they compliment one another. In this video, I share 5 tips that we use in the monastery as buddhist monks to train ourselves and our mind. This lens is from the lens of a Buddhist monk. Please feel free to use and implement this evening routine as you see fit. I hope this helps. #monks #monk #eveningroutine #minimalism
0:00 Intro
3:12 Have a cut off time (shower time)

1.Take a shower (to clean and let go of the day) 2.Meditate (chanting and seating) 3.Spread love and kindness (training the mind to let go of bad, anger, and hatred) 4.All the good and pure energy that we cultivated/gather today..dedicate it to people you knew who passed away... share the good energy with them. 5.Reflection while staying neutral...how was your day?...think of all the goods and also bad to see any repeating patterns....how can you better the next day? 6.Before you go to bed think of all the goods not the bad/problems...feel proud with goodness you did and go to bed with that...be covered with that good energy like using it as your blanket...let that purify your sleep. ***from other video***: 7. Do not eat a heavy dinner right before bed...your body uses the energy to digest rather than to rejuvenate.

Summary: The evening routine can help you to start on a full tank tomorrow. This is for balanced, supportive living with a strong, healthy bright mind. Thank you Venerable Nick! 1. Have a cut-off (such as shower time) to come back internally rather than thinking about external responsibilities and the future. "Retreat" and stop thinking so much. Come to the present moment. Have a few hours of "shut-off". 2. Practice evening chanting and meditation to focus the mind and increase stillness. 3. Share loving-kindness with yourself. Dedicate good energy to yourself. Then dedicate it to others starting with your household, your town, your city, country and world. This will release any hatred or anger. Now you may dedicate this pure energy to your deceased loved ones. 4. Spend time for gentle reflection. What good happened today? What was challenging? Consider this from the self-perspective (behavior, actions, speech, interactions). See the patterns but practice looking neutrally as a way of self-study. 5. Sleep in a sea of merit. Do not think about problems in bed. Instead, recall feelings about good things you did during the day and the week. Be proud of your good merit. Sleep peacefully for a peaceful morning thinking about merit when you wake.

As a Taoist Monk of 50 years...my training included three 1 hour sessions a day. Usually in the morning...afternoon...and at night. Included was acupuncture...Chi development...Tai Chi Chuan forms...and 30 minutes of Meditation. That was the routine. It basically came down to prioritizing what was important to your Spritual development. People...places...and things were cut from my daily Life...as they served no purpose in helping me down my Path. But...No Regrets. No a single regret. Everything I had done previously...lead me to where I am today. 🙏📿🙏📿🙏📿

This is beautiful. I am Christian, but I learned a lot from your videos. I feel the Christian churches and teachings I’ve been a part of, they don’t spend enough time on self-help (although it could be argued a relationship with Jesus could overcome anything). I feel these teachings really helped me with practical ways on how I can better myself daily with practical ways that I could incorporate into my own beliefs. Thank you, and you speak very calmly and have a beautiful soul!

Welcome Christian brother and sister. I too am a disciple of Christ. To me Buddhism has offered me a practical, logical and actionable path on my journey to find God. To me it has added a deeper perspective on the parable shared in bible. In the end, I kind of discover that the underlying message is Love ❤️ It is love Christ died to save, it is love that Lord Gautama decided to turn the wheel of dharma. May all of us who are on the journey discover the light and blessed with the wisdom, health and resolute. May we all be at peace, free from enmity for living creatures big and small to those invisible beings. ❤️🧘‍♂️

I don’t currently have an evening routine, but after watching this it is clear that I need one. My mind is so undisciplined, I find it wondering even when I am trying to watch self-help videos (like this one). I have to rewind a little bit and re-watch because it gives me so much to think about. Although I am not a Buddhist, this is very helpful and applicable. Thank you! 🙏🏼

I too am fairly undisciplined and find the good monk's videos to be helpful--and worth rewinding to catch what I miss when the mind wanders. I live with diagnosed ADHD so I am gentle with myself around this, always trying something new to help me focus and hunker down within. My practices tend to change up and I'm happy to receive Nick's mindfulness tips. I wish you well!

@@marylusunshine I’m glad that you are kind and patient with yourself when it comes to dealing with ADHD. That can’t be easy to deal with. I don’t feel that I have anything like that, but I think I allow my own anxiety and fears to take over sometimes. I definitely am trying to work on stopping the theater that is taking place in my mind when I have no reason to run various scenarios out. I really think it just goes back to me needing some sense of control in my life, but ironically it leads to lack of control of my thoughts! Lol. Thank you, Mary, for your kind words.

Dear Ven.Nick, I came across your upload just after I had showered for the evening! I immediately did the basic worship (three refuges, five precepts, offering flowers/oil lamp, giving merit to other beings and the deceased) and chanted the maha mangala sutta. Then as you suggested I ran through the good deeds I had done today. I felt so good!

Thank you for your video! 1, Cut off time - After 8 pm, relaxing music only. Once I'm home, no technology or junk food, water only (hot tea is fine). 2, Stillness - Sitting, stretching and massaging. 3, Love - How far you've come and how much you've changed for the better. Show yourself love and love towards your family. 4, Reflection - Focus on the wins and where I need to better myself. 5, Sleep - Be grateful for all that has happened throughout the day. A strong evening routine fills the tank up ready for the next day. How do you show love to family members that you hold resentments towards? Love and Peace from the UK!

This was even more helpful to me than the morning routine (which I repeated today--yay!). I have struggled with morning headaches and tension/pain in shoulders and neck. But the shower, the meditation, the practice of loving kindness to myself, then others, the reflection on my day, the honoring my deceased loved ones, and then--maybe most significantly--the enfolding myself in the blanket of...what did you call them? my merits? "good" things--or maybe skillful things--I did during the day. I woke--for the first time in weeks--with no pain in my neck, shoulders, or head. this was very reinforcing and I plan to practice this again tonight! and my intention is to continue this and the morning practice! Thank you again! You are clearly doing the right "job" for you in the universe :)

Loved your Morning routine. Admiral William H. McRaven gave a commencement speech at UT at Austin 2014 about doing the first task of the day which is making the bed. Then move on to the next task. He said this will give you satisfaction/accomplishment for each task done. What a wonderful concept. Thank you for reminding us.
