What's your daily practice?

I've been becoming more aware of the power of having a daily practice/routine. Was curious as to what each of you do...here are my current practices:

1. Visualization - Usually done to music. I'll either visualize past successes or imagine future accomplishments and experiences. I use an NLP technique called anchoring as well here. I'll typically do at least 10 minutes of this each day.

2. Meditation - I do a simple Zen meditation of counting breaths. I'll do this during yoga, in the steam room at the gym or in my bedroom. I aim for at least 20 minutes a day.

Another exercise that I started this morning is to get up and go for a quick walk first thing in the morning. I'll start with a high-energy song to get me going. Then after the song I'll shut off the ipod and spend 5-10 minutes in gratitude for the blessings in my life (e.g., friends and family, health, etc.). I really like this as a way to start the day (BTW, this was inspired by Tony Robbins' Get the Edge material...highly recommended!).

So what are your practices?
