5 HABITS that’ll change your life


Want to stop procrastinating? Want to stop complaining about how your life sucks, is always boring or nothing is going on in your life? I have a person who can help you with this. It’s YOU! There’s a quote in Marathi which says “तूच आहेस तुझ्या जीवनाचा शिल्पकार” (translation) you are the sculptor of your life. Your life is an outcome of your actions and if you want to get your life back on track or to the next level then here are some easy steps/actions/tasks if done, will change the outcome i.e your life.

1.   Make a schedule

Scheduling your day is one of the first and most essential things to do. Make a to-do list for the day and schedule it according to your convenience.

             

This lets you decide how much time to invest in a particular thing. Scheduling helps you save time (which is the most expensive thing you own). Also, there are more chances of scheduled tasks being completed, than unscheduled tasks. It only takes a matter of minutes to make a schedule but this investment saves you hours! And if for some reason your plans for the day change, you can always reschedule. Scheduling teaches you time management, which if learned at an early age can help you in long run. 

 

2.   Exercise

Exercise gets your body some movement, especially these days, when you are mostly home. Exercising for 20 minutes after you wake up makes you freshen up, lose your sleepy face, and gets you ready for the day.

 You can choose to do a workout or yoga or simple stretching and warming up exercises. Joining a gym for a couple of months, getting buffed, and then not exercising later, isn’t going to keep your body in shape for long. On the other hand, if you exercise 15-20 minutes a day you’ll stay fit. Here, consistency is the key.

 

3.   Meditate

As your body needs to be in shape, so does your mind. The more calm and at peace you are, the better decisions you can make. Meditation helps you increase your concentration power and the more the concentration power the quicker you finish your work or understand a concept. Also meditating daily helps you control your emotions which actually control your day.


Your life is determined by your actions, and your actions in the past tense are thoughts. Your brain does the thinking. So, if you control your brain you control your thoughts, actions, and therefore, your life. And one of the efficient ways to control your brain is by MEDITATION.  Meditate for 15-30 minutes twice a day and you’ll see the change in you.


4.   Track your social media time and your phone usage time

This is more important for you than you think it is if you are even a little bit of a procrastinator. At times when you got nothing to do you try to check social media for memes and end up scrolling for longer than you expected. Excess of anything is poison and excessive use of social media does nothing but the three following things (according to my experience)

      1.   Wastes your time

      2.   Makes you sad

      3.   Strain your eyes  (due to excessive exposure to blue light)

Your phone does feed you a lot of crap that you don’t want in your head plus it takes away the most precious thing you own (TIME). Try a screen time app, check how much time you spend on your phone and maybe set a limit for the day and keep lowering it every couple of days. If you are earning money or learning something through your phone then do use it. But if you are using it for entertainment purposes then I would suggest you find an alternative.

 THE MOBILE PHONE IS THE BEST INVENTION IN THE WORLD AND ALSO IT IS THE WORST INVENTION IN THE WORLD. IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU USE IT.

 

5.   Read

You can check out my other blog (2% investment) in which I’ve told you how you can just invest 30 min i.e 2% of your day and end up reading at least 3000 pages in a year which is 15 books of 200 pages. 15 books a year? That’s a lot of KNOWLEDGE gained by just investing a mere 2% of your whole year i.e just 7.3 days out of 365 days.

Knowledge is power and it lives till your last breath. In other words, you can’t un-know something once you know it. All the riches, READ! A well-read person has the potential to be rich. Reading can expand your thinking capacity and when your thinking expands, your house expands. Not showing your dream just stating the facts. Read comic books or story books if you want, BUT START READING!

 

     So this is the list. These are the 5 habits/things that take on a total of about 2 hours of your day but can save you a lot of time and bring a massive change in your life and PERSONALITY.

COPY, EDIT & PASTE

LIFE IS BASED ON THESE THREE PRINCIPLES: COPY, EDIT AND PASTE. If you are going to create something different or create something new then this is not for you. COPYING Humans have the tendency to copy things. That’s why we have trends and terms like the ‘bandwagon effect.’ We see people eating a particular food and we feel like trying it too. How do gyms work? People see others working out, getting in shape and they get influenced, they get motivated and then, they COPY THEM. Everything that you are doing today has been done before. You, I, and everyone else are just copying. What you are learning right now has already been studied. The job you are at right now, somebody else had it, and after you, there’s someone else who’s going to have it. The things that you are doing today: a ton of other people have done it, are doing it or will be doing it. Who are you? A doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, a teacher, whoever you are, there are millions of others like you. So, find people...

BELIEVE it or Leave it.

You are passionate about something, you have got a vision and you can see yourself being successful at it, that’s the exact unfortunate time when people hop in. Now they might not have the same vision or the same perspective. And most of the time they’ll be stubborn and try to not understand your perspective. Or they are not that open-minded enough to understand it. And trust me; such people don’t want to be wrong so they’ll try their best to talk you out of it. They bring in pessimism because if you notice they’ll mostly tell you all the drawbacks and the negative points if you choose to go down that path you envision. They question everything you have planned and then answer it themselves by considering the most “realistic view” of it and eventually get you all demotivated.   So when you have goals just keep them to yourself. Don’t go telling people and asking opinions because you know too many cooks spoil the broth . See, you know yourself better than anyone, so you don’t ...

Ever felt like you don’t fit in? And other people just advice you to blend and try to fit in, well don’t take that advice. See, when you feel like you don’t fit in a particular surrounding then you are getting closer to knowing yourself and if you just accept that advice and blend, you’ll probably lose the only chance you had to discover yourself. If you don’t fit, stay alone because it’s better to feel lonely when alone rather than being among people and feeling the same. There’s a quote I follow which says, “ UNKNOWINGLY you become like people you surround yourselves with.” So if you don’t feel like people around you can help you grow then leave! Remember, a smart person living with idiots is only as powerful as the idiots but an idiot living with smart people is as powerful as them. After all, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to look great for some weeks around people who are below you and eventually with time let them drag you to their level or you choose to be the p...
