Oh Dear! thank you for sharing! I am attending this weekly singing circle in Vancouver and we have our favorite song we chant, I want to share the lyrics with you.

I will be gentle with myself
I will love myself
I am the Child of the Universe
Being born each moment

I am sending all the inspiration of self-commitment to you.
For if you can't commit to yourself, you can;t commit to anyone.
if you can't bless yourself. You can't bless anyone, no matter how much you love them..

Please share more on how your sleeping routing goes :)

I am going to bed around 10 am
and waking up between 5 and 6.
I developed this due to my job as a Yoga Instructor, where class starts at 6 am.
So I need to show up. But I always showed up for myself, in the first place.
Now even on weekend, my system will wake up early. AnD MAN! I can tell you this is the best time of the day.
By the time normal people (who sleep late) will dress up, I already finished biggest part of my daily task! :)

Though no pressure. No self-violence. So really.. Be gentle with yourself!

AHO!
