Day 7: Change your life

I missed my class again today, but I’m hoping to see better days. I did my meditation then. Now, the first chapter of,’JANE EYRE’: Jane takes us through the abuse she endured as a child. She was abused by her Aunt’s son. Beth seemed like the good one, but one’s gotta do her job. They take Jane to a separate room after Jane talks back to that Aunt’s son. Today was such a tedious day at the gym. I burned, like, more than 350 calories. It won’t be a big deal for you but it is one for me. My trainer was mad at me for taking up so much time, but in my defense, I’d rather take my time than break a few bones or sprain my muscles; I’m a human(Christina Perri’s note) after all. It was a near-death experience. That’s exaggerating, but still. I guess I could slightly feel what famine and drought w...

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 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...
