And we're live. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the World Wisdom Wednesday. This is your host, Alex of mindset, mind-sep YouTube channel, mindset, TikTok channel, helping you flex your mind, body and soul. And let's dive right into it. It's October 1st. The theme of the month is Harvest. And also wanted to mention because I did have one more piece of content for, for September 30th, but I don't do lives on Tuesdays normally, so I do it on Wednesdays, which is Wednesdays today. So going back to the last piece of content that I had for safety, Christine Bennett, welcome live.
Thanks for tuning in. And the the last theme, Susan Suzanne M. Welcome to Live. Thanks for tuning in. Is about anchoring your routines amidst uncertainty or anchoring to a routine amidst uncertainty that helps provide safety, that helps provide your own form of certainty in uncertain times is when you anchor to a routine and when I, when we say anchoring to a routine, I'm talking morning walk, I'm talking morning jog or run if that's something you like to do. Morning reading, morning meditation, whatever that anchor is that you start your day with or end your day with, it's gonna help in times of uncertainty and it's gonna help you stay focused amidst potential chaos.
So and let's use today for an example. I'll use my day, for example. It was chaotic today. Second that me and my wife waked up, she had a choppy sleep last night. Or we're watching my in laws dogs, which is her parents dogs while they're, while her mom works really late and her dad's away for business. So we're watching the dogs. We're watching them. We started watching them last night and the one dog is, got an upset tummy and diarrhea everywhere. First second that we wake up, it's all over the floor.
Had to clean that up, took them out, had more diarrhea outside. Not fun. And then, and then we go to work and then I come back because I go home at lunch to eat my lunch and more diarrhea to clean up. And then my wife gets home before me and then she has to clean up more diarrhea. And then the dog, the one dog has like blood in his stool as well. So we had to call the vet. And yeah, not fun. And then so we had to clean our sheets right away. Clean the bed right away. But an anchor amidst that chaos in the routine today, morning latte, me and my wife, love our coffee.
Love, love, love our coffee. So amidst chaos, amidst whatever's going on. Need that morning cup of java. Both of us, we love our morning cup of java, especially coffee. Tastes 10 times better when you get to enjoy it with your spouse. Am I right? Am I right? Let me know in the comments if you like getting up with your partner, having that morning cup of tea or morning cup of joe. I love it. And I made me and my wife a nice little latte, pumpkin spice latte. Because it's October, it's harvest season.
So that helped amidst the chaotic day that we had. And then it was a crazy day at work for me today. It was a crazy day at work for my wife. So all in all, crazy day. But what helps when you have a crazy day? What helps when there's a little bit of chaos during the day? Things in your routine that keep you anchored. For myself, that's my morning cup of coffee. I gotta have two cups a day. That's just for me personally. I can't have any more than that. If I have any less than that, I just don't feel like everything's firing as well.
And then exercise. So caffeine right out of the gate, hydrate, have breakfast at a morning yogurt parfait. So get your nutrition in early. Little bit of caffeine. Mel Myers. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Morning cup of joe. It is a game changer when you got a lot of chaos going on. And I know it can be a bit of an adrenaline rush if you're sensitive to caffeine. I'm sensitive to caffeine. I know they say to stave off caffeine the first hour that you're awake. Not always an option. Right. I don't like to be too stringent on that because sometimes you just need it to wake up.
Like if you're a deep sleeper like myself, it takes, you know, I need that cup of java instantly. Like, I have my water, chug some water, and then I have that cup of java right away. And then I dive right into whatever it is we're doing next, which was making breakfast. Right. So get that morning hydration in. Get a little caffeine in you. Get a little. Me and my wife watch a little bit of the news or like Jimmy Kimmel first thing, which is awesome because we love late night talking about, you know, a little comedy in the morning because the news is pretty bleak.
There's always, you know, I don't really like, we don't really like to watch the news. I'll, I'll, I'll be, I'll admit, we'll Watch a little bit of news, but I don't like to watch too much of it because that sets the day up for negativity. I don't want to set the day up for negativity. I want to set the day up. Okay, what's our first win of the day? Our first win of the day? We, we both sat down, we had our coffee together, we had breakfast together, and we got to sleep in a little bit. Awesome.
That was great. That was our first win of the day. Highlight even the smallest of wins, right? Oh, you had an amazing latte today that you made together. You had breakfast together, you had a morning walk together or me and my wife, we work out together right now because I got an Apple watch. I, I got it two months ago, three months ago, because I got the Apple watch. They gave us three months free Apple Fitness Plus. Awesome. Awesome. That is a part of me and my wife's anchor in our routine. It's part of the routine getting that nightly exercise in.
Right? Whether that's a walk, other cardio like jogging, jump rope, treadmill, or the Apple fitness plus with the weights. What is something Let me know as an emoji or as a comment in the comments. What is something in your weekly routine, whether that's in the morning or at night or at lunch, if that timing works best for you? What is something in your routine that's an anchor for you that helps you stay calm amidst the chaos? Let me know in the comments right now. Let me know in the comments. I'll wait an emoji to describe that.
That anchor for your routine or some. Or describe what that anchor is in your routine for you in the comments. Let me. Going once, going twice. No. Okay. All right. So, but yeah, anchors in the routine. Oh, music. Mal Myers, thanks for, thanks for the comment. Music. Listening to music or playing music, Creating music. Let me know in the comments. What do you mean by music? So that's like just listening in on music, creating music. Do like, let's do like a headphone emoji or an ear emoji for just listening to music or creating music.
I'm curious. I like this. I like the, I want all of you that are tuning into these lives, I want them to make them more engaging. I want to talk less and listen more. That's my goal for all of October. Talking about harvest, harvesting our learnings, our things that we've learned or things that we want to improve or things from the previous season that we've done well. But maybe we want to refine this Season listening in. Awesome. Thanks for clarifying that, Mel. Yeah, listening. And what kind of, what kind of music do you like to listen to?
Like rock and roll, country, lo fi beats, edm, soft rock. What do you like to listen to in the morning as part of your anchor, your anchor in your morning routine? What genre of music? I'm curious. Gospel and jazz. Love it. Yeah, I'm a big fan of jazz. My parents, I grew up listening to jazz because my parents are big fans of jazz. Jazz. So it's an amazing way to set the stage for the day because it creates a vibe. Right. And we are, we're all about creating the vibe mentally, physically, spiritually, in the heart.
Right. And for me, I also like to create the vibe spiritually by meditating first thing. That's what I like to do first thing. Because I'm not someone that likes to train first thing in the morning. I like to train after I've had like three meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner in the evening which I'm going to be probably training here soon once this live's done. Gotta walk the dogs, gotta have dinner then gonna work out probably so. But thank you for tuning into this live. Thank you for contributing to this live with your comments.
