Make it automatic

The hard part is getting started, but once you do, from there on it’s automatic. That’s why making getting started as automatic as possible is useful. Some days you will feel it, some days you will be naturally awake. Then some days you won’t. It’s those days that are the worst, but by making getting started automatic, by having a routine, the rest is easy. That’s why your routine has to be a priority too. If it isn’t, put it on your calendar. Make it automatic. Otherwise, your only choice is to force yourself to start.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Tim Bunting AKA the Kiwi Yamabushi, a New Zealander who became a Yamabushi Ascetic in the Dewa Sanzan mountains of north Japan. I’m part of the Yamabushido team, and we host life-altering Yamabushi training on the Dewa Sanzan (website link). People come to us for the ultimate mindfulness experience, to reach the next level, or simply connect with nature and themselves.

I’m on a mission to summit all 100 Famous Mountains of Yamagata Prefecture to spread the splendour of this fabulous location, and in dedication to all those who lost their lives out in nature, including my father.

On my daily blog I post thoughts of a practicing Yamabushi that I hope people can use to better themselves and live as fulfilling a life as possible.

Sign up to the weekly Mountains of Wisdom newsletter, follow me on social (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Clubhouse, all @kiwiyamabushi), or send me an email via the link below to stay in touch.

Tim.
