i think im doing well with the clean and tidy and exercise, but def could have a better bed/wake time and do meditation daily. I feel my eating is pretty good too.
Hi, Nick, thank you for sharing. I need ALL, of course I’m doing well from time to time, but there is no consistency. I choose the most urgent: go to bed in time. The others will follow.
Dear those who are reading this message, if you are having a hard time, remember that you are not alone and never give up. I wish you health, success, love and happiness!
I'm married to a mentally ill woman. These practices have helped me mentally more than I could have imagined. Thank you for this teaching. The best part for me is spending time in prayer with God.
It's difficult. The holidays were very hard. If I didn't have God in my life, I would fail at taking care of my family every day. The old me would have left long ago. I have 2 daughters that need a stable environment though.
I had a bad day today. I’m a carer for a very disabled husband and the universe sent me a curve ball! Back to basics is a key message so thank you Venerable Nick🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My mental health crashed 3 weeks ago, just under 3 weeks ago I walked past a man dressed in orange, something I’d never seen before. I googled what dressing in orange meant. The algorithm must have informed RUclips. So when I went onto RUclips, there you were. Within two days of coming out of hospital, I’ve had you by my side listening to your advice, I wasn’t left alone. It’s a strange turn of events. Thank you so much 🙏
I realised yesterday that I love waking up before the world. I pack my husband's lunch, decide what I will cook for dinner, have quiet time, study and be there to greet him when he leaves for work. Then I go outside for some sunshine and be present for my little adopted girl who studies online through UCT. I am from Cape Town and have followed you for so many years. I like that you don't take yourself too seriously. I learnt not to be so ainal after watching your videos. I appreciate your effort. Thank you Nick.
The sleep routine is HUGE. I have finally got this set in stone, but it took me many years of staying up too late, not getting enough sleep and then being tired and cranky. Trying to do too much, and being overstimulated. The sleep routine starts one to two hours before bed time. Plants lights go off, night lights go on. The nature sounds I play almost 24/7 shift from day sounds to night sounds (corresponding to the season), shades get drawn when the days are long so as to create the atmosphere for it. Even as I type this my 4 year old daughter is nodding off waiting for me to finish writing. We are in bed about 7:30-8. I try to meditate until 8:30, then go to sleep by 9 EVERY night and I get up at 5 (sometimes six on Saturday). This gives me a solid 8 hours. Do not skip the routine on weekends. Every night is the same. I used to like staying up late on the weekends but the time I gained was lost in the morning with sleeping in. Now I find I enjoy the early mornings far more where I can sit in quiet stillness and contemplation since the city is still sleeping in from staying up too late. So the world is mine. Peers I work with that struggle with mental health (which is pretty much everyone now) I tell the same; try a consistent proper night's sleep and a healthful diet, it will transform your life more than any medication and therapy.
Wow I love this. Thank you so much for your your experience and tips. I think it’ll be so much value for others. Keep up the great work my friend and keep inspiring 😊😊😊😊
I have been playing this video every morning right after getting up since last 6-7 months. And after walking 4 miles e veryday (2 miles in the morning & 2 miles in the evening) I clean my apartment (with a broom) & toilet & take a cold shower followed by 10 min long meditation each time. Besides, I have made a habit of following a strict eating schedule, breakfast between 7:30-8:00, lunch between 11:30-12:00 & dinner at 5:00 pm. I have stopped eating solid food after 6 pm and although first few days I found it very difficult eventually it has helped me immensely, both physically and mentally. The change in overall routine has completely changed my life for the better. I have a good night’s sleep, less worries about my life, least expectation, never hesitate to show my gratitude to the people in my life. I restarted my old habit of maintaining my journal. I have been following your channel since last year and I cannot express in words how grateful I really am. I am not perfect but I believe I have become a better human being than I was a year ago. Thank you very much for being there for people like me.
WOWWWWWW! Thank you so much for sharing this. I think your journey will inspire so many people. You are doing fantastic! Please keep up the great work and keep going my friend. So happy and proud of you 😊😊😊😊
Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words. It means a lot to me. Previously, I used to have late lunch in the afternoon around 2 pm, dinner late at night around 10:00-10:30; I hardly did any morning exercise, no meditation, and now I can feel the difference between the past and the present states of mind. Since last May until Dec 31, 2023 I walked almost 900 miles (my app showed), and I felt proud of myself. :) Last year was one of the worst phase of my life and that is when I have found this path through this channel. The Buddhist path taught me that embracing pain and suffering is the only way to find peace because there is no going around. I have learned to accept things as they are without any sugarcoating, that helps to see things clearly and let go of things that is not in my control. This very simple rule can change anyone’s life for the better, I can say it from my own experience. I still have my own problems and anxieties, everyone does. But the awareness helps us face our problems with calmness. And every time I find myself in a difficult situation I simply click any of your videos and find my answer in them. Now I shut down my laptop every night before sleeping and start it once I wake up, it is to remind myself that everyday is a new day, a new beginning and there is actually no need to carry yesterday’s burden. Same with starting the cold shower particularly since Jan 1 this year- initially I would wait for a few seconds to enter but gradually it improved; I tell myself that nothing is permanent and this cold water (I am in Baltimore, USA) is there to help me. Eventually my evening showers too had become cold showers and I began to enjoy it instead of fearing the cold water, now it feels like meeting a caring friend twice daily. And to be honest, it gave me immense mental peace. These are small things but now I realize that they matter a lot more than I had thought previously. And if I get anxious sometimes, I recall how you say “It’s okay.” I think, being anxious, feeling sad or angry or depressed at times only make us human beings, there is nothing wrong about experiencing them because there is no escape. But how we respond to those feelings is in our control and that is what one needs to practice daily. My sincere gratitude once again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am telling this first thing to my husband for a really long time because as kids I'm trained to sleep at 9pm . The world used to shut around me at 8 at night . It was new to me to experience waking up late and I can never get into habit of staying up late. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise😅🙏❤️🎉 my uncle has his gym in the house and seeing that growing up made me think it's really a part of life to do excercise. I choose yoga and meditation by myself at the age of 16 after trying all kinds of exercises. Having these 3 habits already, my hormones were so balanced that I used to eat less and granny was strict abt lunch time only. I feel beyond lucky being born in a house where all these habits were part of everyday life and routine. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 I'm always thankful to my elders at each and every step of my life for bringing all good habits to my life with love.
I recently retired and my daily rituals have been thrown into a bit of chaos after having good habits/rituals for many years. When working, I found that my work hours were like an anchor, before which and after which, I had a chain of habits including exercise, meditation, etc., and now, even though I have more time, I'm struggling. Thanks for this motivation to work toward establishing some new daily rituals.
oh yes. That's quite normal. Give yourself that compassion and time to re-establish a new routine. It took me over a month to reset my schedule when i came back to thailand from the US :)
Give yourself patience. It took me about 14 months to find a new groove. Loving retirement and a renewed lease on life. Joined the YMCA and never looked back. Bless up
@@nikitacolon1622 Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in this. I am loving retired life so far. It's like I'm coming back to who I really am. Even though I loved my work, I did have a sort of "work persona" that wasn't always really ME. Now I am re-discovering all the things that I used to LOVE before I had to make a living.
This list of habits is certainty doable. Blessings to you Venerable Nick for once again presenting such simple and life enhancing actions. You are the best. It's 11 pm now here in Pennsylvania and I am turning in. Good night and peace to anyone reading this❤.
In Ayurveda they say: “Your day starts the night before”. I highly respect wisdom of Ayurveda, so I couldn’t agree more. I recently found out that I have ADHD (going to bed late is very common among ADHDers). So I enjoy going to bed late as it is very peaceful and quiet at nighttime, as there are far less distractions. I am working on going to bed earlier, and I have made some progress. When I succeed at getting up early, I am far more “efficient” the next morning, in every way. And the body loves the stability of a nighttime routine. ADHD also means having a hyperactive mind, even if you are not physically hyperactive (as it is in my case), and I am not in favor of meds for ADHD. I would rather change my schedule.
You hit that right on the NAIL! NIGHT TIME IS SOOO peaceful & you really can't do that many tasks, b/c every thing is closed! No one. Including telemarketers( ugh) R blowing up your phone! . I'm ADHD too & I can 100% relate! My "to do " list is about 5 miles LONG! NO JOKE! I wake up and so much anxiety and frustration and overwhelmed in I just think of the billions and trillions of things I must do and they're all seem just as important as the other I mean what do I do go get my license picture done or should I you know call the mortgage company that I'm behind on* 8 months also I needed to get my license picture done since April and it's now the end of August and September basically September so I mean I don't know it and that's just two two times that times like a thousand others to do that are like just as important as that! It's SO OVER WHELMIMG! HOW CAN I NOT BE SUPER OVER WHELMED?
One thing that has always helped me is to write down in the evening three things that you should pay attention to the next day. Although you may not accomplish all three the next day, it helps you keep track of priorities and you'll be able to easily carry over any unfinished items to the next day! You can train yourself to establish this habit annd you will not regret it - it will help you! Good luck.@@michelemarch2562
Since my father’s death .about the time of menopause. Many worries Some thirty odd years ago. .early morning waking started tha I cannot cure or change Other serious worries and stress added . Shutting of the mind is very hard. Very grateful to fnd you 😊
You confirmed that I am hearing in the right direction, which explains why my life is quiet, peaceful, orderly, good, and getting even better. As always, thank you and blessings to you and your family.
I don’t know if this all meant to be, but what you’ve mentioned in your video is what I need in my life. My habits and the way I’ve been dealing with struggles in life is what is setting me back. Bad habits are leading me to exhaustion and unnecessary stress
I appreciate your 6 habits to follow in life. .I will start with 10 pm bedtime and meditation before bedtime. Also, waking up early and eating only two meals a day and walking everyday. I believe in drinking water with my meals and after waking up, and before bedtime. What has memory, so therefore have loving thoughts when drinking water. Love and gratitude.
Omg thank you for this. My anxiety has been so bad, leaving my house has been so hard. I meditate but I never really did it consistently. I’m going to follow what you say for 21 days and see how much better I feel. I love the way Monks live you guys bring so much peace and light to life. Thank you so much I wish more monks talked about how to change routine/life and more talked about meditation or guided meditation I would love to learn all techniques on how to open my mind. Thank you again❤️
Thank you, Nick, this has been and is still a rough time in my life and this is so very helpful to me. I want to see more of your videos... I am 81 in a new country dealing with a life-changing experience for sure, but keeping it positive! I have my 82nd birthday coming up soon. This will be year two in Ecuador! Many good thoughts to you on this day. Kassandra Cornelius Powers
Just listening to these basic healthy habits made me feel lighter,happier and peaceful. Time to tie the shoelaces for a morning run! Thank you for your valuable support ,Ven. Nick💞😊
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Ven. Nick, just back from a lovely early morning jog. The air was crisp and a gentle wind caressed my skin as the sun was rising and its summer rays were shining the earth. Smiles were exchanged between other walkers and joggers and a strange sense of human connection dawned upon. Thank you for the motivation as always . Lots of love and light to you from California 😊💞
So very helpful. I listened to every word carefully. My sleep is an obstacle in my life lately. By not sleeping well, all other aspects of my day are affected. I will definitely meditate before bedtime now. Thank you so much. Peace to you and to all who see this video and listen. Love to all humanity.
It sounds so acessible and sensible that I am asking why I am living without these good habits and searching for complicated solutions .Thank you very much for stressing the role of them, your wordas are a treasure! 😊
Great list ! Id like to add the removal of alcohol , as its so ingrained in our culture, the clarity and peace that comes from renoving it completely is enlightening ! Thx Nick!
I can’t thank you enough for these videos and your virtual mentorship. I am still full of anxiety and very flawed, however, I finally put down marijuana and haven’t smoked in 22 days since the defilements video has been on my mind for the last several mos and I started feeling guilty. I gave up alcohol as well for about 7 mos after your vid, I relapsed in June and have been clean again for about 2 mos and hope to never drink again. I desperately desire structure and stillness and struggle so much, yet these videos help me to refocus. I would love to visit the monastic community you were located at in Thailand and bring my 3&8 yr old daughters one day. I look forward to saving up enough money to visit and finally experience peace like monks and nuns. Nam myoho renge kyo ☸️🙏🏾
wow thank you for sharing your experience. That's beautiful. Please keep up the great work that you are doing. Rooting you on from Thailand :) please keep us updated.
After a long time your video pops up. I get 6/6. Have two more tips that I.have forgiveness and gratitude. Pray to my ancestors, family mother Earth and the Universe. For today. Thank you brother Nick.
Dear Venerable Nick, thank you so much for your videos and wise advice. While we make life so complicated, your words are so UNcomplicated, down to earth, relatable and applicable to lay life. May you and all beings be happy and free of suffering 🙏
Thank you beyond measure Venerable Nick- you are truly showing us a path of healing- and with such kindness. I used to berate myself all of the time for just about anything! Now, I hear in my own mind ‘that’s okay, no judgment’ in that kind voice of yours, even with the little laugh- We are soaking up your words of wisdom and encouragement out here☺️(Nancy)
I practice most of these & they are great reminders! My loud neighbors don’t want me sleeping before midnight 😂 Ear plugs don’t help 100% so it’s hard for me to fall asleep until they do. Thanks for sharing the beautiful waterfall on your IG stories, it looks so peaceful ✌🏼💚
If you sleep on the side like me you can exploit that, bcs the ear that rests on the pillow is soundproofed. Now the other ear must be soundproofed similarly with something that absorbs all sounds, like a sideways "pillow hat" with straps that go all around the head. Blasted neighbors, if they don't respect people they should be kicked out and live in a barn like loud animals 😁 They make things difficult for your landlord if you have one so better that they move than everybody else. Wishing you peace and silent sleep.
@@LeporidaeanDream Thanks for the peaceful wishes! I do sleep on my side & have the comforter pulled all around my head 😂 The vibration of their stomping around is no match for the ear plugs. Yes, they should be in a barn…thanks for the laugh!
@@TraceB Earplugs do nothing for me as well, but they can be used in combination with my advice. To give a better description, take a look at college wrestlers ear protection. It can be bought, enhanced and adapted with felt + bubble wrap etc. so you can have a really good nights sleep. It will not come loose if turning over. Remove the one where the ear rests on the pillow, sew it together and tada - silence is yours! It looks weird but sleep is adamant to health 😴
Bhante Most Venerable Nick: Thank you for your guidance and for choosing to share your positivity, insight, and lfe lessons. You have taught me how to love more deeply, to live more full, to become more peaceful, to be more compassionate, to be more mindful, to be more aware, to be more present, to be more structured/disciplined, and to be "me." Thank you for your presence in this most beautiful world. Happy Blessings to You. I'm Sending Good Vibes and Healing Love to You and Yours. -AJ/alli j.
Thank you for the help and the reminders. Sleep is a big one for me, and my coworker found what you had said about food to be helpful. Thanks for all you do.
All of the things that I absolutely should be doing! I'm getting better, but definitely a work in progress. Thank you Venerable Nick! I'm always happy to see your videos and hear your messages 🥰
I really do love watching these videos I think I watched the first one about eight months ago and haven't put it down since I would literally trade it all. Living the dream brother living the dream.
Jag behöver lära mig att äta mindre, känna efter innan jag äter och bara äta när jag är hungrig Jag är så tacksam att jag hittade dig här på you tub för du har lärt mig så mycket Tack för du delar med dig av din visdom🙏❤️
Thank you for this video Venerable Nick! As always you brings so much information and so much calmness (because listening to your videos is like meditation for me). I am still struggling with some things, like go to bed on time, specially in hot summer nights. But as you say, if it is a habit, it goes very naturally. I am very grateful for every video, you calms me and gives me energy and strength to keep improving my life in the right way!
I watch every video you upload, venerable Nick and I just want to thank you from the very bottom of my heart! You help me to be kinder to myself when my heart becomes filled with heaviness and sorrow. Thank you for helping me and so many others, brother 🙏💙😌
Thank you venerable nick for sharing these practical foundations. Personally I think I got to work more on meditation, and I hope it can help me to moderate my screen time. I find that I have been leaning on screen time as a clutch to cope with work stresses. Even on days when I need not do urgent work at night, I don’t sleep as early as I would like to, and that make waking up early to have a good and consistent morning routine hard. Diving into work first thing in the morning isn’t the best way to keep a healthy separation between work and life.
Wow, you are such a good person. I would love to have you as a friend. This is such good advice. I may modify it a bit like go to bed a 11 instead of 10 and get up at 5 instead of 4 and eat at 9 AM instead of 7 and then eat at 1:30 to be done at 2 instead of eating at noon. I like the making the bed and cleaning too. When do you meditate and do you ever take a nap or just use meditation? Please get back to me.
Oh wonderful and yes please adapt it to your specific situation. You’re doing it perfectly. Sometimes I do take naps, it just depends if I need it, but please feel free to experiment 😊 Please keep us updated on your progress 😊
Thank you so much for these wonderful tips! Regarding the first one, I've woken up early and gone to bed early at times in my life, and at other times I've gone to bed late and slept late. When I go to bed late and sleep late I feel so much better and have so much more energy. And I'm much happier.
Hi Nick!!! Thank you so much for making this video. This video was like personal advice to me. A sign that I have to start again and stand up again in life. Because out of all the things you mentioned, I've been doing the opposite of it due to the ongoing stressful phase in my life because it's easier to escape than implement. However, it's time to change these things. My mental and physical health has been terrible. And I can't afford to make it worse. Thank you again for this personal advice, Nick. I will implement this daily❤
I started eating after 5 or 6 at night around 4 years ago and I have never been happier. My insides are as regular as they were when I was a child. Zero bloating and perfect poops every morning. It was a process however to accomplish and to get used to. It also helped that I had become an empty nester so I wasn’t cooking for a big family anymore. 👍🏼🌎☀️💙….btw…I do have a coffee in the morning and I may have a banana or I allow myself to eat strawberries out of my garden or a tomato out of my garden or chew on a piece of garlic ect…during the day if I feel like it. Some days I do not.
I have been studying buddha dharma, I founds books by medical doctors and a profession speaker of meditation of believing in the Universe and the Intention of Power of the universe. I am follow the guiding very regularly, and I almost have it, it is similar to what you are talking on the video today. I would like to visit you in Thailand soon. Thank you

Recap by Tammy AI
I've been a practitioner of Zen Buddhism since being ordained as a lay monk in1983. However, I really needed this reminder. Thank you so much, you are an excellent teacher. 🙏
Very good... thank you!! I can't stay in the bed in the morning. I get up early with enthusiasm. I've always been that way since childhood. I'm 74 years old now and still have that same habit. Life is too beautiful to miss even one moment of it.
You are so helpful Nick… I choose to work on the meditation as I’ve got the others down pretty well… the meditation is hard for me as my thoughts keep intruding but I will push on even if it’s for 5 mInutes to start 😊
I try to follow all these rules daily the only one I have to incorporate is regular meditation but I'm getting there it's something that I need- thank you for your videos
Habit 1 - Same as I do (09:30 pm. to 04:00 am.) Habit 2 - Same as I do Habit 3 - Same as I do (yoga) Habit 4 - Same as I do (intermittent fasting) Habit 5 - Same as I do Habit 6 - Still need to improve this aspect 😅
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Thanks Bhante. No wonder I follow this schedule, for becoming a monk is a possibility I am seriously considering, after having been interested in theravada since teenhood. Working now on subtitling videos about buddhism and spreading dhamma materials.
Great advice, Nick, thank you! 😊 One point that I still have to learn to follow is to eat with moderation. Today I cooked a meal for my parents and myself (cold noodles with sauce and cucumbers) which was very delicious. Unfortunately I cooked a bit too much because I don’t have enough experience in cooking for more than one person and we almost ate all the noodles except for a little bit. But I also made an interesting experience: It took me a lot of will power and it wasn’t easy for me but now I feel much better than if I hadn’t cooked.
Thank you so much Ven. Nick 🙏 I needed this reminder BIG TIME! I am grateful for this today. Incorporating these habits into my life will definitely make a difference. I have fallen off the wagon lately with some of these. No wonder I'm not feeling well in mind & body. These are written down in my journal, staring right at me. No excuses! Thank you again 🙏 You will be going to sleep in 24 minutes!! 😄 Blessings to you 🙏
You're so welcome! It’s perfect timing. Just get back on the wagon and continue to be kind to yourself along the journey. You got this! Please keep us updated 😊😊
Thank you for all that you do to educate a lay Buddhist like me. I practice Nisheren buddhism, am a yoga teacher and you help me to understand how important consistency is. Michelle from South Africa.
Hello Nick :) I just wanted to say thank you for sharing the knowledge you've learned with us. I wrote these on a post it note and put it on the wall over my bedside table so will remember. I need to incorporate feeding my body what it needs, not what my emotions want.
What habits do you need to incorporate into your life?

My mental health crashed 3 weeks ago, just under 3 weeks ago I walked past a man dressed in orange, something I’d never seen before. I googled what dressing in orange meant. The algorithm must have informed RUclips. So when I went onto RUclips, there you were. Within two days of coming out of hospital, I’ve had you by my side listening to your advice, I wasn’t left alone. It’s a strange turn of events. Thank you so much 🙏
Oh wow. Welcome to the channel my friend. I hope these videos can support you along your path 😊😊
I realised yesterday that I love waking up before the world. I pack my husband's lunch, decide what I will cook for dinner, have quiet time, study and be there to greet him when he leaves for work. Then I go outside for some sunshine and be present for my little adopted girl who studies online through UCT. I am from Cape Town and have followed you for so many years. I like that you don't take yourself too seriously. I learnt not to be so ainal after watching your videos. I appreciate your effort. Thank you Nick.
Fixing my sleep would help with all the others!
Yessss it’s so critical 😊
That’s right, I know what you mean!
I hope you're sleeping better 😴.
Same here !!!
Totally agree. Impossible. I am writing this at the end of an entire night wide awake. Insomnia is wrecking me...
The sleep routine is HUGE. I have finally got this set in stone, but it took me many years of staying up too late, not getting enough sleep and then being tired and cranky. Trying to do too much, and being overstimulated. The sleep routine starts one to two hours before bed time. Plants lights go off, night lights go on. The nature sounds I play almost 24/7 shift from day sounds to night sounds (corresponding to the season), shades get drawn when the days are long so as to create the atmosphere for it. Even as I type this my 4 year old daughter is nodding off waiting for me to finish writing. We are in bed about 7:30-8. I try to meditate until 8:30, then go to sleep by 9 EVERY night and I get up at 5 (sometimes six on Saturday). This gives me a solid 8 hours. Do not skip the routine on weekends. Every night is the same. I used to like staying up late on the weekends but the time I gained was lost in the morning with sleeping in. Now I find I enjoy the early mornings far more where I can sit in quiet stillness and contemplation since the city is still sleeping in from staying up too late. So the world is mine. Peers I work with that struggle with mental health (which is pretty much everyone now) I tell the same; try a consistent proper night's sleep and a healthful diet, it will transform your life more than any medication and therapy.
Wow I love this. Thank you so much for your your experience and tips. I think it’ll be so much value for others. Keep up the great work my friend and keep inspiring 😊😊😊😊
It worked for you!!!!
Giving up alcohol is another life changer, im not preaching, just experiencing for myself
Wow- thanks for these tips also!!
I have been playing this video every morning right after getting up since last 6-7 months. And after walking 4 miles e veryday (2 miles in the morning & 2 miles in the evening) I clean my apartment (with a broom) & toilet & take a cold shower followed by 10 min long meditation each time. Besides, I have made a habit of following a strict eating schedule, breakfast between 7:30-8:00, lunch between 11:30-12:00 & dinner at 5:00 pm. I have stopped eating solid food after 6 pm and although first few days I found it very difficult eventually it has helped me immensely, both physically and mentally. The change in overall routine has completely changed my life for the better. I have a good night’s sleep, less worries about my life, least expectation, never hesitate to show my gratitude to the people in my life. I restarted my old habit of maintaining my journal. I have been following your channel since last year and I cannot express in words how grateful I really am. I am not perfect but I believe I have become a better human being than I was a year ago. Thank you very much for being there for people like me.
WOWWWWWW! Thank you so much for sharing this. I think your journey will inspire so many people. You are doing fantastic! Please keep up the great work and keep going my friend. So happy and proud of you 😊😊😊😊
Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words. It means a lot to me. Previously, I used to have late lunch in the afternoon around 2 pm, dinner late at night around 10:00-10:30; I hardly did any morning exercise, no meditation, and now I can feel the difference between the past and the present states of mind. Since last May until Dec 31, 2023 I walked almost 900 miles (my app showed), and I felt proud of myself. :)
Last year was one of the worst phase of my life and that is when I have found this path through this channel. The Buddhist path taught me that embracing pain and suffering is the only way to find peace because there is no going around. I have learned to accept things as they are without any sugarcoating, that helps to see things clearly and let go of things that is not in my control. This very simple rule can change anyone’s life for the better, I can say it from my own experience. I still have my own problems and anxieties, everyone does. But the awareness helps us face our problems with calmness. And every time I find myself in a difficult situation I simply click any of your videos and find my answer in them. Now I shut down my laptop every night before sleeping and start it once I wake up, it is to remind myself that everyday is a new day, a new beginning and there is actually no need to carry yesterday’s burden. Same with starting the cold shower particularly since Jan 1 this year- initially I would wait for a few seconds to enter but gradually it improved; I tell myself that nothing is permanent and this cold water (I am in Baltimore, USA) is there to help me. Eventually my evening showers too had become cold showers and I began to enjoy it instead of fearing the cold water, now it feels like meeting a caring friend twice daily. And to be honest, it gave me immense mental peace. These are small things but now I realize that they matter a lot more than I had thought previously. And if I get anxious sometimes, I recall how you say “It’s okay.” I think, being anxious, feeling sad or angry or depressed at times only make us human beings, there is nothing wrong about experiencing them because there is no escape. But how we respond to those feelings is in our control and that is what one needs to practice daily. My sincere gratitude once again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am telling this first thing to my husband for a really long time because as kids I'm trained to sleep at 9pm . The world used to shut around me at 8 at night . It was new to me to experience waking up late and I can never get into habit of staying up late. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise😅🙏❤️🎉 my uncle has his gym in the house and seeing that growing up made me think it's really a part of life to do excercise. I choose yoga and meditation by myself at the age of 16 after trying all kinds of exercises. Having these 3 habits already, my hormones were so balanced that I used to eat less and granny was strict abt lunch time only. I feel beyond lucky being born in a house where all these habits were part of everyday life and routine. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 I'm always thankful to my elders at each and every step of my life for bringing all good habits to my life with love.
Wow that’s so great! Thank you so much for taking the time to share 😊
You are lucky, I am 78 training now, still not late.
@@surjitgrewal better late than never ❤ Good for you for learning to take better care of yourself ❤
Very good advice.Thanks a lot
🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏
I recently retired and my daily rituals have been thrown into a bit of chaos after having good habits/rituals for many years. When working, I found that my work hours were like an anchor, before which and after which, I had a chain of habits including exercise, meditation, etc., and now, even though I have more time, I'm struggling. Thanks for this motivation to work toward establishing some new daily rituals.
oh yes. That's quite normal. Give yourself that compassion and time to re-establish a new routine. It took me over a month to reset my schedule when i came back to thailand from the US :)
Give yourself patience. It took me about 14 months to find a new groove.
Loving retirement and a renewed lease on life. Joined the YMCA and never looked back. Bless up
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Thank you. I am newly inspired.
@@nikitacolon1622 Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in this. I am loving retired life so far. It's like I'm coming back to who I really am. Even though I loved my work, I did have a sort of "work persona" that wasn't always really ME. Now I am re-discovering all the things that I used to LOVE before I had to make a living.
Cheering you and encouraging myself…. Hugs
This list of habits is certainty doable. Blessings to you Venerable Nick for once again presenting such simple and life enhancing actions. You are the best. It's 11 pm now here in Pennsylvania and I am turning in. Good night and peace to anyone reading this❤.
Greetings to you Jacqueline. Hope you're doing well. Thank you so much and have a good night :)
Gratitude when I meditate. Giving to others is even more important. This is what has given me happiness, success, and peace.
Aww that’s beautiful to hear. Thank you for sharing ☺️
Very true indeed, !
Amen and well stated 👍🏽
In Ayurveda they say: “Your day starts the night before”. I highly respect wisdom of Ayurveda, so I couldn’t agree more.
I recently found out that I have ADHD (going to bed late is very common among ADHDers). So I enjoy going to bed late as it is very peaceful and quiet at nighttime, as there are far less distractions.
I am working on going to bed earlier, and I have made some progress. When I succeed at getting up early, I am far more “efficient” the next morning, in every way. And the body loves the stability of a nighttime routine.
ADHD also means having a hyperactive mind, even if you are not physically hyperactive (as it is in my case), and I am not in favor of meds for ADHD. I would rather change my schedule.
Awesome. Please keep us updated on your progress 😊
You hit that right on the NAIL! NIGHT TIME IS SOOO peaceful & you really can't do that many tasks, b/c every thing is closed! No one. Including telemarketers( ugh) R blowing up your phone! . I'm ADHD too & I can 100% relate! My "to do " list is about 5 miles LONG! NO JOKE! I wake up and so much anxiety and frustration and overwhelmed in I just think of the billions and trillions of things I must do and they're all seem just as important as the other I mean what do I do go get my license picture done or should I you know call the mortgage company that I'm behind on* 8 months also I needed to get my license picture done since April and it's now the end of August and September basically September so I mean I don't know it and that's just two two times that times like a thousand others to do that are like just as important as that! It's SO OVER WHELMIMG! HOW CAN I NOT BE SUPER OVER WHELMED?
Good you can but try slowly steadily you'll get there .with out MED's.
Take it easy and work on only one daily..,until you finishes. Do this from Monday to Friday.Just relax on Sat and Sun, and start over.
One thing that has always helped me is to write down in the evening three things that you should pay attention to the next day. Although you may not accomplish all three the next day, it helps you keep track of priorities and you'll be able to easily carry over any unfinished items to the next day! You can train yourself to establish this habit annd you will not regret it - it will help you! Good luck.@@michelemarch2562
Since my father’s death .about the time of menopause. Many worries
Some thirty odd years ago. .early morning waking started tha I cannot cure or change
Other serious worries and stress added .
Shutting of the mind is very hard. Very grateful to fnd you 😊
You confirmed that I am hearing in the right direction, which explains why my life is quiet, peaceful, orderly, good, and getting even better. As always, thank you and blessings to you and your family.
that's so wonderful to hear. keep it up!
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial 😊 Thank you. You too🙏
I don’t know if this all meant to be, but what you’ve mentioned in your video is what I need in my life. My habits and the way I’ve been dealing with struggles in life is what is setting me back. Bad habits are leading me to exhaustion and unnecessary stress
i'm glad it's helpful :)
I appreciate your 6 habits to follow in life. .I will start with 10 pm bedtime and meditation before bedtime. Also, waking up early and eating only two meals a day and walking everyday. I believe in drinking water with my meals and after waking up, and before bedtime. What has memory, so therefore have loving thoughts when drinking water. Love and gratitude.
Wonderful my friend. Please keep us updated 😊
Thank you Ven. Nick, for all that you do. Please keep counseling us.
You’re welcome ☺️ thank you
Blessings and thanking you for taking the time for those of us whom are stuck at the moment 🙏 Namaste
Omg thank you for this. My anxiety has been so bad, leaving my house has been so hard. I meditate but I never really did it consistently. I’m going to follow what you say for 21 days and see how much better I feel. I love the way Monks live you guys bring so much peace and light to life. Thank you so much I wish more monks talked about how to change routine/life and more talked about meditation or guided meditation I would love to learn all techniques on how to open my mind. Thank you again❤️
Thank you, Nick, this has been and is still a rough time in my life and this is so very helpful to me. I want to see more of your videos... I am 81 in a new country dealing with a life-changing experience for sure, but keeping it positive! I have my 82nd birthday coming up soon. This will be year two in Ecuador! Many good thoughts to you on this day. Kassandra Cornelius Powers
How are you going Kassandra?
Much gratitude. Needed this advice. Will share with others.
Just listening to these basic healthy habits made me feel lighter,happier and peaceful. Time to tie the shoelaces for a morning run! Thank you for your valuable support ,Ven. Nick💞😊
Awww wonderful! Yes get in your run. Please keep us updated 😊
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Ven. Nick, just back from a lovely early morning jog. The air was crisp and a gentle wind caressed my skin as the sun was rising and its summer rays were shining the earth. Smiles were exchanged between other walkers and joggers and a strange sense of human connection dawned upon. Thank you for the motivation as always . Lots of love and light to you from California 😊💞
9:41, I love going on walks!! It really does make a difference
Wonderful 😊😊
So very helpful. I listened to every word carefully. My sleep is an obstacle in my life lately. By not sleeping well, all other aspects of my day are affected. I will definitely meditate before bedtime now. Thank you so much. Peace to you and to all who see this video and listen. Love to all humanity.
Thank you so much 😊
Wonderful! Thank you. Soothing, melodic voice too!
It sounds so acessible and sensible that I am asking why I am living without these good habits and searching for complicated solutions .Thank you very much for stressing the role of them, your wordas are a treasure! 😊
Awww thank you for your kind words. Yes it’s always best to go back to the basics 😊
Great list ! Id like to add the removal of alcohol , as its so ingrained in our culture, the clarity and peace that comes from renoving it completely is enlightening ! Thx Nick!
Insightfull. Doable and Valuable. Thank You. Is so soothing listening to you.❤
I am right on track again !🙏🏼
Aww thank you so much and keep up the great work 😊
Yessir. Regularly scheduled sleep helps heals the body. The earliest you can is best. Wake up early helps to be ahead of the daily activities.
Well said!
I can’t thank you enough for these videos and your virtual mentorship. I am still full of anxiety and very flawed, however, I finally put down marijuana and haven’t smoked in 22 days since the defilements video has been on my mind for the last several mos and I started feeling guilty. I gave up alcohol as well for about 7 mos after your vid, I relapsed in June and have been clean again for about 2 mos and hope to never drink again. I desperately desire structure and stillness and struggle so much, yet these videos help me to refocus.
I would love to visit the monastic community you were located at in Thailand and bring my 3&8 yr old daughters one day. I look forward to saving up enough money to visit and finally experience peace like monks and nuns. Nam myoho renge kyo ☸️🙏🏾
wow thank you for sharing your experience. That's beautiful. Please keep up the great work that you are doing. Rooting you on from Thailand :) please keep us updated.
Thank you this was very helpful and you look very happy and Healthy God Bless
Thanks for improving our consciousness. I have been following your 10 daily reminders for some time . Love the changes in consciousness and mentality
awww thank you so much!
After a long time your video pops up. I get 6/6. Have two more tips that I.have forgiveness and gratitude. Pray to my ancestors, family mother Earth and the Universe. For today. Thank you brother Nick.
Thank you so much my friend for sharing 😊
Dear Venerable Nick, thank you so much for your videos and wise advice. While we make life so complicated, your words are so UNcomplicated, down to earth, relatable and applicable to lay life. May you and all beings be happy and free of suffering 🙏
Aww thank you so much my friend. I’m glad it resonates with you 😊
Thank you sir Nick Keomahavong.I am doing meditation before... i need to restart again.Thank you so much.😀
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you beyond measure Venerable Nick- you are truly showing us a path of healing- and with such kindness. I used to berate myself all of the time for just about anything! Now, I hear in my own mind ‘that’s okay, no judgment’ in that kind voice of yours, even with the little laugh- We are soaking up your words of wisdom and encouragement out here☺️(Nancy)
WOW!!!! that's wonderful Nancy! That's amazing progress. It might look small but it's a very big step. Keep it up!
Thank you so much I’m going to try this one thing at a time
I practice most of these & they are great reminders! My loud neighbors don’t want me sleeping before midnight 😂 Ear plugs don’t help 100% so it’s hard for me to fall asleep until they do. Thanks for sharing the beautiful waterfall on your IG stories, it looks so peaceful ✌🏼💚
Aww thank you so much and I have had experience with loud neighbors before also. Not so pleasant 😆
If you sleep on the side like me you can exploit that, bcs the ear that rests on the pillow is soundproofed. Now the other ear must be soundproofed similarly with something that absorbs all sounds, like a sideways "pillow hat" with straps that go all around the head. Blasted neighbors, if they don't respect people they should be kicked out and live in a barn like loud animals 😁 They make things difficult for your landlord if you have one so better that they move than everybody else. Wishing you peace and silent sleep.
Pray them out x
@@LeporidaeanDream Thanks for the peaceful wishes! I do sleep on my side & have the comforter pulled all around my head 😂 The vibration of their stomping around is no match for the ear plugs. Yes, they should be in a barn…thanks for the laugh!
@@TraceB Earplugs do nothing for me as well, but they can be used in combination with my advice. To give a better description, take a look at college wrestlers ear protection. It can be bought, enhanced and adapted with felt + bubble wrap etc. so you can have a really good nights sleep. It will not come loose if turning over. Remove the one where the ear rests on the pillow, sew it together and tada - silence is yours! It looks weird but sleep is adamant to health 😴
His voice and speaking patterns are ASMR heaven
Thank you so much Nick I really needed this today 🙏 you’re work and words are truly beautiful ❤
You are so welcome. Thank you so much 😊 glad it’s helpful
Monk ways are life ways.Thank you ❤
You’re welcome ☺️
Such a wonderful message Nick! I can sense your compassion and it is inspirational. Amen ❤
Thank you so much David 😊
Bhante Most Venerable Nick:
Thank you for your guidance and for choosing to share your positivity, insight, and lfe lessons. You have taught me how to love more deeply, to live more full, to become more peaceful, to be more compassionate, to be more mindful, to be more aware, to be more present, to be more structured/disciplined, and to be "me."
Thank you for your presence in this most beautiful world.
Happy Blessings to You.
I'm Sending Good Vibes and Healing Love to You and Yours.
-AJ/alli j.
Aww thank you AJ for such a beautiful and positive message :)
Thank you for the help and the reminders. Sleep is a big one for me, and my coworker found what you had said about food to be helpful. Thanks for all you do.
Oh wonderful! Thank you for sharing 😊😊😊
Thank you I needed this.
All of the things that I absolutely should be doing! I'm getting better, but definitely a work in progress. Thank you Venerable Nick! I'm always happy to see your videos and hear your messages 🥰
Aww thank you so much my friend. Keep us updated on your progress 😊
Thank you.
I really do love watching these videos I think I watched the first one about eight months ago and haven't put it down since I would literally trade it all. Living the dream brother living the dream.
awww thank you so much for your kindness and support :)
Jag behöver lära mig att äta mindre, känna efter innan jag äter och bara äta när jag är hungrig
Jag är så tacksam att jag hittade dig här på you tub för du har lärt mig så mycket
Tack för du delar med dig av din visdom🙏❤️
Welcome to the channel my friend 😊
This is my first experience in your presence. I'm very grateful for your message and instruction, beloved soul. 🙏♥
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Wishing you good health and happiness, from Yorkshire, UK 😊
Aww thank you so much. You too 😊😊
Thank you for this video Venerable Nick! As always you brings so much information and so much calmness (because listening to your videos is like meditation for me). I am still struggling with some things, like go to bed on time, specially in hot summer nights. But as you say, if it is a habit, it goes very naturally. I am very grateful for every video, you calms me and gives me energy and strength to keep improving my life in the right way!
Awww Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Thank you!! That was powerful!!
You're so welcome!
That's what.. we often tend to forget these basics foundational habits.. it was helpful my monk dear 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I watch every video you upload, venerable Nick and I just want to thank you from the very bottom of my heart! You help me to be kinder to myself when my heart becomes filled with heaviness and sorrow. Thank you for helping me and so many others, brother 🙏💙😌
Aww thank you so much and I’m glad it’s helpful 😊
Thank you venerable nick for sharing these practical foundations.
Personally I think I got to work more on meditation, and I hope it can help me to moderate my screen time.
I find that I have been leaning on screen time as a clutch to cope with work stresses. Even on days when I need not do urgent work at night, I don’t sleep as early as I would like to, and that make waking up early to have a good and consistent morning routine hard. Diving into work first thing in the morning isn’t the best way to keep a healthy separation between work and life.
thank you for sharing. the positive side is that you are aware. just slowly limit it day by day :)
Wow, you are such a good person. I would love to have you as a friend. This is such good advice. I may modify it a bit like go to bed a 11 instead of 10 and get up at 5 instead of 4 and eat at 9 AM instead of 7 and then eat at 1:30 to be done at 2 instead of eating at noon. I like the making the bed and cleaning too. When do you meditate and do you ever take a nap or just use meditation? Please get back to me.
Oh wonderful and yes please adapt it to your specific situation. You’re doing it perfectly. Sometimes I do take naps, it just depends if I need it, but please feel free to experiment 😊
Please keep us updated on your progress 😊
I'm so glad to see you're stil making videos! People would pay you for your advice, but fortunately for us that is not your style 😂
I appreciate that! Thank you. It’s an honor to share. I’m glad it can be off some help 😊😊
Thank you so much for these wonderful tips! Regarding the first one, I've woken up early and gone to bed early at times in my life, and at other times I've gone to bed late and slept late. When I go to bed late and sleep late I feel so much better and have so much more energy. And I'm much happier.
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Nick!!! Thank you so much for making this video. This video was like personal advice to me. A sign that I have to start again and stand up again in life. Because out of all the things you mentioned, I've been doing the opposite of it due to the ongoing stressful phase in my life because it's easier to escape than implement. However, it's time to change these things. My mental and physical health has been terrible. And I can't afford to make it worse. Thank you again for this personal advice, Nick. I will implement this daily❤
You’re welcome and it’s ok my friend. We can start new again 😊 please give it a try and keep us updated on your progress.
I've been looking for a channel like this. Thank you
Welcome to the channel my friend 😊
I started eating after 5 or 6 at night around 4 years ago and I have never been happier. My insides are as regular as they were when I was a child. Zero bloating and perfect poops every morning. It was a process however to accomplish and to get used to. It also helped that I had become an empty nester so I wasn’t cooking for a big family anymore. 👍🏼🌎☀️💙….btw…I do have a coffee in the morning and I may have a banana or I allow myself to eat strawberries out of my garden or a tomato out of my garden or chew on a piece of garlic ect…during the day if I feel like it. Some days I do not.
Wonderful my friend 😊
May all beings, are well & Happy !!!
Indeed these habits do encourage consistency. Proven and tested.
Thank you my friend 😊
Thank you so very much for this. I will start today.
You’re welcome ☺️
Sleep is a big one for me, as is eating. Working on it. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊 just keep working on it.
I have been studying buddha dharma, I founds books by medical doctors and a profession speaker of meditation of believing in the Universe and the Intention of Power of the universe. I am follow
the guiding very regularly, and I almost have it, it is similar to what you are talking on the video today. I would like to visit you in Thailand soon. Thank you

Thank you my friend 😊
Peace has been a dream I was never able to reach and
so much want to try for that , will try since just watching your podcast . Thank you!
I've been a practitioner of Zen Buddhism since being ordained as a lay monk in1983. However, I really needed this reminder. Thank you so much, you are an excellent teacher. 🙏
Aww thank you so much my friend 😊
Very good... thank you!! I can't stay in the bed in the morning. I get up early with enthusiasm. I've always been that way since childhood. I'm 74 years old now and still have that same habit. Life is too beautiful to miss even one moment of it.
You are so helpful Nick… I choose to work on the meditation as I’ve got the others down pretty well… the meditation is hard for me as my thoughts keep intruding but I will push on even if it’s for 5 mInutes to start 😊
Beautiful my friend! You’re already ahead of the game. Keep incorporating this last piece a little at a time 😊😊😊
I try to follow all these rules daily the only one I have to incorporate is regular meditation but I'm getting there it's something that I need- thank you for your videos
Greatest advice! I’m blessed to have brought these into my life some time ago.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☸️
Wonderful! Keep up the great work, my friend :-)
Such solid lifetime principles for any lay person. I have recently discovered buddhism and this is my favorite channel.
Awww thank you so much my friend. Welcome to the channel 😊
Habit 1 - Same as I do (09:30 pm. to 04:00 am.)
Habit 2 - Same as I do
Habit 3 - Same as I do (yoga)
Habit 4 - Same as I do (intermittent fasting)
Habit 5 - Same as I do
Habit 6 - Still need to improve this aspect 😅
Wow that’s fantastic my friend. Please keep it up 😊😊
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Thanks Bhante. No wonder I follow this schedule, for becoming a monk is a possibility I am seriously considering, after having been interested in theravada since teenhood. Working now on subtitling videos about buddhism and spreading dhamma materials.
God bless you abundantly
Thank you so much my friend 😊
Great advice, Nick, thank you! 😊 One point that I still have to learn to follow is to eat with moderation. Today I cooked a meal for my parents and myself (cold noodles with sauce and cucumbers) which was very delicious. Unfortunately I cooked a bit too much because I don’t have enough experience in cooking for more than one person and we almost ate all the noodles except for a little bit. But I also made an interesting experience: It took me a lot of will power and it wasn’t easy for me but now I feel much better than if I hadn’t cooked.
oh yes, eating can be challenging. Just slowly take the time to observe yourself and find the middle way. it takes some time :)
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial Thanks! 😊 Today I ate less for dinner.
Thank you for helping people .
Aww Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much Ven. Nick 🙏
I needed this reminder BIG TIME!
I am grateful for this today. Incorporating these habits into my life will definitely make a difference. I have fallen off the wagon lately with some of these. No wonder I'm not feeling well in mind & body.
These are written down in my journal, staring right at me. No excuses!
Thank you again 🙏
You will be going to sleep in 24 minutes!! 😄
Blessings to you 🙏
You're so welcome! It’s perfect timing. Just get back on the wagon and continue to be kind to yourself along the journey. You got this! Please keep us updated 😊😊

Hello Nick :) I just wanted to say thank you for sharing the knowledge you've learned with us. I wrote these on a post it note and put it on the wall over my bedside table so will remember. I need to incorporate feeding my body what it needs, not what my emotions want.
Oh that’s fantastic! Please keep us updated on your progress 😊
