Starting and ending each day

I’m curious how everyone starts or ends their day.  I know some people swear by their routine.  What advice do you have for us beginners?

I get up and I avoid work emails for the first 45 minutes.

I end it with a reflection on 3 great things in my life.

In between I try to be of service and focus on always being a better me.

Up early to meditate and stretch. Preparing a healthy breakfast and dinner is my steadiest routine. Time in the garden. From day I walk every evening and this has been so healing. I look forward to it and miss it when the weather is bad.

Just before I go to bed, I will send a message to my guardian angel and say something like, "Heal my body, heal my mind, and heal my soul" and I often ask Him to give me a happy dream and I know I am heard because I will always get that happy dream or another dream that will heal me in some way which is usually a resentment from my distant past with a reminder that I need to revisit it so I will do as was suggested and look at the person or situation different and forgive myself for holding on to that hate or resentment for so long and then I will often get rewarded for doing so. Usually I will have money coming from places I never expected or hear from someone I haven't heard from in a long time......it could be anything but whatever it is, It makes me feel very happy and Blessed!

When I get up in the morning, I always say good morning to my Guardian angel and thank Him for giving me happy dreams or a dream of insight that can help me down the road of life......connecting with myself through meditation has helped me tremendously! I highly recommend it. Also, doing the lessons of acim was also helpful to me and helped me become more awakened to the world around me both seen and unseen....

God Bless

You know, keep it simple. Wake up and say ‘I’m going to take care of myself today ‘

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
