Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Ji

I need an answer to my question as soon as possible. I am 35 female. I used to wake up at 4 or 4.30 in the morning to do path (Nitnem) and if I miss one day I would replace the next day. Now all of a sudden I stopped doing path. It’s been almost one year. I tried so many times to get back to the old routine. I just cant do it. I wonder why. Whenever I hold a “gutka” I just don’t feel like doing path. Actually I have plenty of time to do path. The interest is not there at all. What should I do ? Please help.

Wahe Guru,
Do it anyway. It is just your mind that is saying not to bother doing it, so you are allowing your negative mind to rule your actions?

Here is a trick:
Write down on a clean sheet of paper your routine for the day.
Include your nitnem timing on the sheet.
Cannot go on to the next until one if finished.
Then for the next 90 days....follow your schedule......and plan a reward at the end of the 40 days.....a new purse or something frivolous..


Now, you know you must do your nitnem before you eat....
So you must find the ways to get it done:
do some exercise before you start to enable yourself to sit.

Try using a Bani CD and recite along with it.
That takes more time so after you start you will want to
do it nore quickly yourself.

Just be creative to make spaces and fun ways to recite.
Recite Jaap Sahib while power walking.

Make it a fun and you will love it and leave this lazy daisy monkey mind in the trash.
