Chasing Sunrises: My Daily Routine in Greece 🇬🇷

Chasing Sunrises: My Daily Routine in Greece 🇬🇷

[Music] I want to do this quick video today as I’m going for my early walk every single morning I wake up early and I go for a walk and I tried to chase the sunrise uh this is something that I’ve been doing for for years now and living here in nafo has been a blessing to say the least when it comes to this daily practice this daily habit now I just want to drop this video very quickly because every single morning when I do this I feel Beyond blessed of course and but it’s a reset uh for me to start the day in uh the right mindset if you will it’s very easy to get complacent or it’s very easy to be negative of course and and for me to go for a walk in nature and to be in a beautiful location is essential for me to to start the day right uh in fact when I don’t do these things uh I feel a little bit off right so simple things like just going for a walk uh enjoy the sunrise just witnessing uh nature being around the sea this means a lot to me just simple things uh simple things about life and obviously that this beautiful place has uh given this to me I like to take my earbuds and listen to an audiobook to music to a podcast episode whatever it is that I’m into at that particular moment or day and just anything that will help me start the day on a positive note so I me look at this I’m not prepared to do this video I don’t have my microphone or anything so the audio could be a little bit crappy so forgive me for that but I just wanted to take a moment to record this this moment it’s all about capturing the moment and uh most of the times I I want to share it I want to record a video and and put it together here so I can share that with you so you can get uh this feeling that you’re here with me early in the morning uh witnessing uh the sunrise and uh because it means a lot to me you know it’s a private Moment by the way uh this is something that I do alone and it’s my time uh I’m been very selfish in the way that you know it’s my time to be with myself I think it’s important to take some time every single day to be by ourself this might sound a little bit strange to you if you’re just watching this video and you know you expect me to talk about my Greek lifestyle but this is an essential part of my Greek lifestyle uh because of the location where I live and because of the activity this is just uh a small part of my day uh but this is how I start my days I wake up at 5:00 in the morning and and I’m not saying this to BR or anything like that at all because I don’t need to wake up that early but it it just a a lifestyle that I have developed and it’s all because I live here okay it’s a lifestyle choice of just uh getting out of my comfort zone uh pushing myself to just do the hard thing like waking up early in the morning uh invest in myself invest in my well well-being my mindset my health uh you know I walk I try to do 10,000 steps before at 8:00 a.m. and because I do spend a lot of time sitting down and working uh online I work from home so uh I I think it’s very important to be out and about and for me if I can accomplish that early in the morning uh it’s a win-win for me right so any day above ground is a good day that’s my philosophy so if I can wake up early and and feel gratitude for for the fact that I’m just breathing and that I’m alive then then that’s a good start of the day so if I can wake up early in the morning and just smell the sea uh witness the sunrise and uh listen to something positive something that it will inspire me me to do something good with this opportunity that I have it’s it’s another day that I have today and and what what I’m going to do with it right I want to become a better person I want to become a better father a better husband and I know this video might seem a little bit uh too inspirational compared to my other content but that’s because of the nature of the time that I recording this video most of the times when I record my videos I have already done my walk I have already done certain things and and you see my energy a little bit different uh because I’m recording this very very early in the morning um I’m still in this state of of gratitude right I’m I’m still in this state of of trying to to feel appreciation for life right I’m not in in work mode if you will and I don’t consider my videos work I do them because I love it uh in fact everything I do I do it because I love it and it’s it’s a call in so so I do the videos I I do music I do coaching I mean I do so so many things and I do them because I love to do them okay it’s not something that I have to but yeah of course we all need to earn a living somehow but uh it’s very important for me to be tapped in into that essence of purpose that we’re all here for a reason and we’re all here to serve we’re all here to to help somebody else and and I try to do do that uh either with my videos or with my music or with my coaching uh or or in any way possible and uh and I try to to spread that message with others or try to connect with others and try to to be in a positive vibration so of speak uh forgive me again if this is a little bit too much and too deep into I don’t know into uh I don’t know mindset or vibration or or just Gra attitude or I don’t know how you perceive this this particular video but you know as I create more content uh here on the channel and this is still a new channel as I recording this it’s 2 and a half months literally as I’m recording this this video and I I want to I want to connect more with you guys and and see that my Greek lifestyle is more than just me living here in Greece because I relocated from the UK uh here to Greece with my family is it’s been a real journey and uh the journey has uh started many many years ago when I took that decision but that doesn’t mean that I have arrived and what I mean by that is that I’m not going to go away from this place but the journey carries on within and and that journey is me uh you know growing and expanding and becoming a better version of myself so I’m going to be turning a 50 next year so I guess I’m going through some type of Milestone if you will and and when I reflect in my life on my life and and the things that I have done and the decisions that I have taken and and the fact that I’m going to be turning 50 next year yeah it it tries it puts my life into perspective I yeah become a little bit philosophical maybe too much and it’s it’s a way of taking stock of my life and and uh waking up early is certainly a way of trying to to make up for the lost time and you know it’s hard for us to to feel to not feel like we have wasted a lot of time I have certainly felt like that uh over the years and and for me waking up early I I guess is a way uh of making up for that okay I used to be a night person for many many years you know my background is as a musician that’s that’s what I do I am a musician and I am a composer I’m an artist really and yeah waking up early was something that is not part of my my Persona I used to sleep very very late at night and and I had to change that lifestyle I didn’t have to I wanted to change uh but you know trying to grow and trying to become a better person is something that I have always been very passionate about and and sharing that with others along the way is something that means quite a lot to me and uh living here in Greece has been an essential part of that and I’ve been sharing uh online a lot about my my life here in Greece uh but it was only quite recently that I had the courage to actually dedicate a whole YouTube channel to this life that I live here in Greece and that’s the birth of this channel that you’re watching right now or the birth of this Channel and the video that you’re watching right now because I was uh I guess a little bit afraid I don’t know not afraid but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to dedicate a whole channel to my Greek lifestyle uh even because I’ve have been sharing a lot about my lifestyle here in Greece uh you know forever since ever either on Facebook on uh Instagram but I never actually have taken that decision or honor that I should say I have never really honored that and say uh this thing this this life that I live here in Greece H it requires a fullblown YouTube channel for that and my content needs to be uh focused and redirected to that so I can share that with other people that they want to connect with that okay and and as soon as I started this YouTube channel immediately was a massive success and it’s all thanks to you and I had that idea of starting this YouTube channel while I was going for one of my walks okay so when I’m going for this walks early in the morning I have this ideas I get inspired and I I get time to reflect I get very philosophical of course uh but I I come up with different ideas and uh the birth of this channel was while I was going for a walk just like this one one thing that I have learned in life is that once you have an idea run with it and and execute it immediately and you know because in my experience everything that I have done and accomplished and has been a success is be is because of that I have had an idea and then I don’t sleep on it I just go and run with it and immediately take action uh moving to Greece was something like that even though it’s not such it’s not an easy process but it was an idea first living in the UK and then slowly cooking that idea in in in my head and and slowly executing that putting money on the side you know uh booking the tickets uh uh especially after my the birth of my daughter fedra and and slowly looking for for a place to live and and all of this and see how can that happen uh as fast as possible and uh this happened very quick in a matter of 4 months we managed to you know just wrap it up in in London meaning like okay just quit our jobs and as soon as uh my daughter fedra was old enough to travel and all of this and find a place here in Greece then you know we book our tickets and then we we relocate uh I’m getting off topic a little bit here but uh what I want to say is that it’s very important for me this walks because I I just feel that not only it’s it’s a good thing it’s a healthy thing for me but ideas come to me when I’m doing these walks um like I was saying to you the birth of this channel is because of one of these walks is because I was walking like this uh quite recently just a few mon months ago that I had this idea of starting this YouTube channel and as soon as I had that idea I run with that idea I went back home immediately I opened uh a new YouTube channel which is this one I you know came up with the name and saw that I was available and next thing you know I have a website and and here we are recording videos and connecting with you guys so I really appreciate it and and I want to say thank you to you for for following me on this journey and for watching my videos uh I really appreciate you for subscribing for liking the videos and for all the messages for all the love and all the support because it has uh you know been something that has been a positive thing in my life um the fact that I have this channel I can just record videos and I can express myself express my my Greek life I share it here with you uh of How I Live you know and this is yet another day in the life uh of someone who lives here in Greece and and you know just sharing really it’s all about sharing and how can can we help one another I want to help you accomplish your goals and dreams I mean even if you’re watching these videos and and you don’t want to relocate to Greece you just want to come here for a holiday or whatever you know that’s cool uh I had a Canadian Family actually who who stopped me in uh in the street well I was with my family I was just going to to the playground with my daughter and I was with my wife and this Canadian family uh just stopped me and said like hey are you Daniel the guy that is doing YouTube videos about Greece and yeah you know very lovely people and if you’re watching this thank you so much for for stopping by and and they said we are we came to Nafi because we saw one of your videos they have already planned a trip in Canada they’re coming from Canada okay so you have to picture the the power of sharing so they have already planned a trip to come to Athens okay from Canada but because they watch one of my videos about nafo they Incorporated that as part of their their trip and they just were here and they you know they they stopped me and and it’s amazing that somebody in Canada can watch one of my videos uh and rearrange their travel plans just to come to to NAFA because they saw one of my videos and they saw how beautiful mafew is so so that really means a lot to me and never underestimate the power of connection never underestimate the power that you have in order to help somebody else or influence someone else in a positive way okay anyways guys I hope this video finds you well going to go back home now have a shower have a second coffee too much Greek coffee I only have two really uh take my daughter to school uh she’s finishing her school uh and then do some work do a little bit of music I’ll probably Ed this video and upload it so you can watch it and that’s it but let’s enjoy this view one more time before I go look at [Music] this isn’t that beautiful again I don’t know how the audio is going to be I’m trying to move strategically here uh because the wind hits in different ways so when it hits in the smartphone I’m recording this with my iPhone so if it hits in the wrong way you hear this weird sound I and I hate it I I I don’t like it when I record like this but anyways I hope this video finds you well thank you so much for all the love and support again uh and forgive me if this is a little bit too much uh for you if I’m talking way too much about different things and it’s too philosophical uh I tend to do that especially at this time of the day when it’s so early in the morning ya thank you so much for subscribing to my channel for all the love and support it really means a lot to me if you come to nothing you see me walking around make sure to stop me and say hi it really means a lot it it makes me feel like like what I’m doing here is is has a positive impact okay
