4:30 p.m.: I am wrapping up all of the details of my workday and starting to shift mental gears to home life.
5 p.m.: I do my evening meditation/prayers.
5:30 p.m.: Dinner is cooked and eaten. The ingredients are typically precut, and my dinner recipes are super simple and take about 5 to 10 minutes to cook. Then I fast for about 15 hours before my next meal.
6 p.m.: I start getting ready for the next day, and I catch up with my son. We usually cut up vegetables together for tomorrow’s meals, and I soak the nuts and seeds I eat midmorning.
6:30 p.m.: Some nights I have my martial arts class, and other nights I will exercise at home with my husband and son. My husband and I use this time to hear about our son’s day.
7:30 p.m.: My husband and I go for our leisurely evening walk in our neighborhood and get caught up about our day. It’s a time that we connect as a couple.
8:15 p.m.: I take my triphala tablets and check in on my son before he goes to bed. Then, I brush my teeth, wash my face, and check to make sure that the kitchen is all tidied for tomorrow. If there was an upsetting event in the day, I will put ghee on my feet before going to bed to help calm my mind and ensure a deep sleep.
9 p.m.: I’m in bed and usually asleep within a minute or so of closing my eyes.
4-4:30 a.m.: I wake up around the time the birds begin to chirp. My morning meditation is my longest meditation of the day so I typically do 30 minutes of breath meditation, 60 minutes of mantra meditation, and 30 minutes of yoga each morning. That is how I love to begin my day.
