The Way You Make Your Bed & What It Reveals About You | A Monk's Perspective

Making your bed is important. As a Buddhist monk, one of the first things we are trained in is the importance of making our beds. The way one makes their bed will impact their habits. Our time in the bedroom makes ups 30% of our daily lives, so what we do in the bedroom will directly impact our behaviors outside of the bedroom. In this video, I give you 3 scenarios of how one makes their bed and how it translate to the type of habit the will cultivate. I hope this perspective from the buddhist monk lens will give you a different perspective into the importance of making your bed. I hope this helps. Enjoy! #monk #buddhism #mentalhealth #monks
