Day 6: Change your life

I woke up late and missed my class. But I was, sure as hell, not gonna let that be the starter of a domino effect of ruining my whole day’s tasks. I then meditated. Day 5: Change your life Today, the book, THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG’ finally ended. In the 4th rule, Author David Schwartz talks about a valuable habit of leaders: taking the time to be alone with your thoughts. And I utterly agree on this one, because that’s when I made my best decisions. For instance, the idea of creating a blogging site popped into my head whilst such a lapse of solitude; and it worked out pretty well for me. He gave some practical examples that he conducted with his people. Then I went to the gym. Today was my leg workout training, full of squats, lunges, lunges with weights, and...

Day 5: Change your life

Woke up as usual. Early. And stayed 15 mins in the sunlight. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. Serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. And I’ve also started drinking water from a copper utensil. It’s healthy and to drink it the first thing in the morning removes toxins. https://news.shreestar.com/day-4-change-your-life/ I signed up for this 30-day mindfulness challenge, so will be foin that program daily. In today’s rule, Author David Schwartz talks about Rule no 3 of being an ideal leader: THINK PROGRESS, BELIEVE IN PROGRESS, PUSH FOR PROGRESS. He explains how contentment is fine, but one should always seek progress with the example of three men and that he had to advise to ...

Lower Death Risk in People With Diabetes Who Drink Green Tea and Coffee Daily

Drinking plenty of both green tea and coffee is linked to a lower risk of dying from any cause among people with type 2 diabetes, suggests research published in the online journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care. Drinking 4 or more daily cups of green tea plus 2 or more of coffee was associated with a 63% lower risk of death over a period of around 5 years, the findings show. People with type 2 diabetes are more prone to circulatory diseases, dementia, cancer, and bone fractures. And despite an increasing number of effective drugs, lifestyle modifications, such as exercise and diet, remain a cornerstone of treatment. Previously published research suggests that regularly drinking green tea and coffee may be beneficial for health because of the various bioactive compounds thes...

Day 4: Change your life

I woke up at 7:38 AM today. What a shame! I should be thrown into jail for so many strikes. But if you woke early since day one or even just for today, I’m proud of you. Keep excelling. Did a 17 mins meditation although, I promised a 30 mins meditation. In my defense, still learning. I read the second rule: ‘What is the Human way to handle this?’ of chapter 13 of ‘THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG’. Author David Schwartz asks us not to become a dictator or a rule-book nerd. He introduces and expands the concept of ‘Being Human’, giving a remarkable example of John. The way John treats his employees- remembering and celebrating their birthdays, specific holidays for minorities and, especially, job security for the employees wins him their loyalty. I ate a pomegranate and went to the gym. Then...

Day 3: Change your life

Yes, woke up early as promised to you all. Then started meditation right away, without any holdup. Morning is the best. It’s the best time to study, to meditate, to exercise. I’ve noticed that in the morning we retain the full attention of our mind on any task that we perform. Thus, it’s easier to meditate and study. For exercise, early morning has fresh air so better this huge amount of oxygen results in proper brain function. Now when I say early morning, I mean 4-5 or 6 AM. Well, it’s 6 AM for me. Today I started chapter 13 of ‘THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG’, but I could only read 3-5 pages. Author David Schwartz talks about leadership. He advises that we should put ourselves in our followers’ and others’ shoes to get jobs done and I did the same. I put myself in the shoes of the admissi...

Day 2: Change your life

Now don’t put me behind bars but I did two mistakes today: 1. Didn’t wake up at 6. My bad. 2. Wanted to shut this programme down because of the first reason. I’m deeply ashamed of myself. I should’ve woken up early and should not have thought of quitting. But for my honesty I think I deserve your forgiveness. All aside, the rest worked as planned. I folded the sheets as soon as I woke up and meditated. Today’s meditation, I was so sorry for not having woken up early. Guess I realized how important time is and also that it never comes back. Today’s word of the day is dorsal. Look up on Google what it means. Then I read ‘THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG’. I read chapter 12: Use Goals to Help You Grow. I had already started the book. And personally, I advise you read the chapter rather than...

Day 1: Change your life

I am a 17 years old with clinical depression for the last 3 years. I've been on medication for quite a few months now feeling better but now I want to start a segment with the readers wherein we change our lives together, where we live our ideal day and strive to achieve our goals. I'll be implementing a few methods that professional psychiatrists and life advisors suggest. Steps to be inculcated: 1. The sleep cycle. I workout at the gym and am advised 8 hours of sleep. So I plan to sleep at 10:30 PM and wake up at 6:30 AM. But if you wanna try waking up earlier, do it. You may want to sleep in between 10-10:35 PM and wake up in between 4:00 to 5:30 AM. The Ayurveda advises waking up in that interval of time because it is dominated by Vata, which governs body movement, flexibility, mental...

When others’ opinions became mine

Oh, dear! How below average tall, pale, skinny and ignorant that guy was! Readers, do you find him attractive? Hell no, right? When did I start falling for such a sort of guy? He's not even a man. Oh, I remember, it started back then in high school when girls taught me beauty standards and checklists. In their eyes, pale fair, tall, especially skinny guys were the talk of the town. And I had no idea. I didn't know that an ideal Indian girl had to be tall, lean, fair, or that she had to have green or blue big eyes with long lashes, pink lips, small nose, small waist, small feet, more than average-sized boobs and that sweet voice with long black hair. And you would be tortured if you lacked any of these, especially by your mother. I loved myself. I did. I liked my voice, my hea...
