Believe That You Are Good Enough

Even before achieving something,

  • If you feel you are not enough
  • If you feel you do not deserve it
  • if you see only your limitations
  • If you analyze how you would fail instead of how you would overcome the challenges

Then you are preparing for failure and you would give up in the middle.

If you feel you are not good enough you will pull yourself to the same level that you believe in and comfortable in. If you feel you do not have what it takes and feel you do not deserve great things in life, you will unconsciously drag yourself to lower standard which you are not happy about in the first place.

How To Be Present in the Moment

  • Learn to enjoy the process and sequence of events that drive us to our events. The moments of trials and tribulations during the journey to attainment are the ones that will etched in our memories for long time, more than the final achievement itself.
  • A positive outcome at the end is important, but do not get demoralized if the result is not as per your expectations. Try not to have end as the means but stay on the course and believe in the system of consistent actions you take move towards your vision. Do your best and leave the rest
  • Even if you think “Oh God!! do I need to do all this boring work now” just take action towards right direction.
  • Will power is about doing things that test your resolve and determination
  • If you are focused on the results and achievement of targets you are postponing the happiness to future. For instance, do not think that you will be happy when you buy a new house or car, do not think that you will be happy when you get that promotion, do not think that you will be happy in another country or place, do not think that you will be relaxed and find peace only when you have a vacation twice or thrice an year, do not think that you have will be happy when you buy something or have something or get something or achieve something. Because our mind is like a monkey and it keeps jumping places as soon as it attains some target.
  • Learning, growing, gaining confidence, building strength and gaining courage during the journey is key.
  • If you trust the process of growth and contribution, just believe that the results will show up.

Are You Adjusting to Realize Your Loved Ones Desires

We need to learn to adjust in real situations in life before expecting adjustment from others. We need to cooperate and compromise before we expect others to do the same. We need to sacrifice good things today for experiencing great things tomorrow before expecting sacrifice from others.

No matter what we do, we cannot expect the same mindset that we possess. How much ever we try to educate the principles beyond a certain point we cannot expect our kids or even from some of our closed ones to think rationally all the times. Because rationality requires maturity. Maturity develops over time as the life progresses as one may have different kind of experiences filled with failures, losses and pain.

Take Full Responsibility During Tough Times

  • World does not give special treatment to you for being disciplined, having good habits, responsible, persistent, caring, serving and sacrificing. These are not end to some means but end by themselves. You don’t be honest because you get credit. You be honest because it is the right this to do. You be a person of integrity not to get praises and respect from others. You be a person of integrity to respect yourself. You might not necessarily get what you want in life by having discipline. But you be disciplined to have respect and gratitude towards your assets in life like health, relationships, friendships, job etc.
  • Nobody cares if you keep challenging yourself every day to do more and raise the bar. It is your vision and mission . Others don’t get it completely. Instead of accusing, blaming and complaining that your close people are not supporting you, try to understand their point of view , be compassionate and try to take them along with you as much as possible.
  • Prepare for a lonely journey. You cannot tell how long you need to wait for somebody to join and walk with you in your path.
  • Everybody has their own expectations and priorities. They don’t have time to empathize and understand what’s going on in your life.
  • Everyone has a story to tell and be proud of. Don’t expect to get applause and claps for doing the stuff you need to do in life.
  • The more you do and show your inner strength the more people expect out of you.
  • Nobody cares and praises you for smiling while in pain and doing what has to be done no matter what. People assume that you have no problems because you look normal in difficult circumstances.
  • Only you know about your sacrifices, adjustments and compromises. Others do not give credit for what you are doing as they cannot relate to what is going inside you.
  • Don’t expect others to come to your rescue just because you sacrificed for them.
  • You may not influence others most of the times or what’s happening or going to happen in spite of your best efforts. You can only change yourself, improve yourself,  grow , learn, struggle, become stronger, become resilient to deal with people and external uncontrollable events in life.
  • Just because you are doing great does not mean you are going to inspire somebody. It could happen that nobody notices you. But this must not stop you from doing what is right and what is in your best interests.
  • Unexpected events could happen any day. Be prepared and be the person who everybody around you could rely on. You be the person to take care of everything when you yourself feel like crying inside and giving up.
  • Be prepared for failure, criticism, embarrassment, pain in life and do this preparation daily. Prepare and harden yourself mentally, physically and emotionally.
  • Have a purpose that pulls you from bed every morning. Motivation pushes you to do things, but sometimes you will not have energy to push yourself. A purpose and vision pulls you in those times.
  • Sometimes in life Motivation and purpose is not enough to overcome our mind’s negative thoughts, temptations and resistance. This is where ‘discipline’  helps you to keep going.

What’s The Worst Thing That Could Happen If You Try

What is it that you could do to move the needle a little bit to be closer to your goal. What are you going to lose if you do something extra outside of your work hours, out side of your family time, out side of your friends time, when you are not sleeping, when you are not eating, when you are not social networking, when you are not watching TV.

Can we spend a little bit of time daily on something that we love, keep watering our dream and keep moving inch by inch. It could be just for 5 minutes or even a minute, but commit some time on something you are passionate about. It is this consistency that keeps growing and picks up momentum. Once you got the momentum, there is no stopping. That 1 minute grows to 5 minutes and then to 15 minutes, and then to 45 minutes and then to 90 minutes and it keeps growing. Some day you would realize how you gradually focused on your major activities of the life and decreased the amount of time you spent of the trivial and unworthy daily tasks you were doing in the past. The more we work on our values, it is natural that rest of the irrelevant things do not bother you.

So first try to start and take action, try to take that first small step, it need not be planned , in fact you can take a deep breath in this moment and do something about what you love to do. Even a minor thought could take you a step closer.

Why not try. If you don’t try there is not going to be any difference in your life. If you try and if you cannot keep up with the pace then you can either stop or take a different approach. What is the worst thing that could happen if you try. As someone said “Anything that does not kill you makes you stronger” So the worst thing that could happen is that you lost some time if you finally decide to give up. But it is worth trying. Do not procrastinate. Do not wait for the right moment. Nothing worst is going to happen when you start working on on yourself and on something that you love.

Just keep in mind that it is not everything about you and your pleasure. At some point it should also mean something to others. In this case your passion can be monetized when it directly or indirectly contributes to the well being of others, when others are experiencing some benefits because of your work.

The immense happiness and gratification when others grow along with you is something that needs to be only experienced.

You Will Tolerate Those Which You Do Not Hate Enough

When something does not matter to you, you would eventually try to justify and tolerate the results. If we do not detest it and hate something enough, we tend to live with it and even attach lame reasons to various excuses for not doing what we are supposed to do in life.

When you are so addicted to the simple, easy, breezy, comfortable, trivial things in life, you would not magnify the negative after effects to feel the pain. So you will tolerate the bitter truth even though you are suffering. You justify and become comfortable with the meaningless suffering.

This also means that we bring in only those possibilities into our lives that we allow and tolerate. If we can accept and live with the fact that we are not doing enough with our health and fitness, we also create that self-limiting belief that “it is common to get into health problems every now and then and believe that it is just fine to suffer” – which we could have prevented in the first place.

When we are in health trouble, we try to throw blame on all possible factors except us. We justify our bad situation, we justify the excuses for not doing the right thing, we blame, we complain and we do not take any responsibility for the situation we are in. Most of us are not willing to participate in our own rescue.

We can stop making these mistakes and can make better choices only when we decide not to tolerate our weaknesses. You would get out of this rut only when you decide not to accept this laidback attitude anymore.

So it all boils down to what you are willing to allow in life , with accepting all uncomfortable facts which are not serving you right now. When we are courageous enough to say that I am unhealthy, I am unfit, I am not eating proper diet, I do not sleep well, I do not have discipline, when we accept the fact that unhealthy habits and instantly gratifying choices have long term ill effects – Then we start to take some action. Because now you hate it and no more willing allow it in your life.

Part of this tolerance comes from avoidance of pain and discomfort that we ought to experience in the process of self-development. What you allow in your life is exactly what you welcome in your life. Sometimes avoidance of pain and difficulty in future can be a great motivator to take tough yet fruitful decisions currently. For example, if you do not allow yourself to smoke , then there must be a strong reason you believe in. Your reasons behind this decision could be health related, family reputation related, care on your dependents, religion related. Here you believe that smoking will have bad repercussions on your wellbeing. Here you are avoiding the pain of health issues but not giving into the instant high you get from smoking.

Now relate it to eating unhealthy sugary or junk food. We allow ourselves to indulge in these kind of foods because we don’t care and tend to tolerate our bad choices. We try to enjoy the instant pleasure by ignoring the future pain. We tolerate it, allow it and hence it happens again and again. Our belief of the avoidance of the pain in future is not strong here because we are quite content with this behavior of ours.

For example, even though you know that you are not in good shape or fitness level, you may reason it with talking to yourself that you have no health issues and you are able to be functional in your daily life. Though in fact when asked by somebody, you would be open to accept that you do not exercise and you hope one day that you could work out and improve your fitness level. Here you are willing to tolerate the fact that you are quite fine with accepting yourself to be unfit . You can tolerate this because you do not value it to an extent of believing that it would have huge impact on your quality of life. You do not strongly believe the scientific fact that being physically fit will improve brain function. It is a proven scientifically in many researches that any kind of physical activities like aerobic exercises, strength training, yoga, martial arts will improve our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Similarly following a healthy diet and having clean food as much as possible in ones daily life is necessary. If we don’t feel strongly about having nutritious food, it is very easy to brush aside the benefits. We can talk to somebody and try to explain that  irregular eating habits, snacking processed and sugary food/drinks in between the meals will have a bad impact on our body. We can tolerate having unhealthy food despite being aware of the negative effects because we give importance to instant gratification instead of long term happiness and independence.

We tend to walk past these minor inconveniences in life and after a while we don’t feel the inconvenience and pain. We become numb to the pain and it becomes our normal experience. We do not feel this pain of compliancy and mediocrity as it becomes part of daily life, though it is very much there when we look within. We do not take note of telling signs of irritation, anxiety, low energy, laziness, disinterest and comfortably choose to put blame on some external factors for our internal state. But most of us do not acknowledge the numbing pain with in or willfully ignore it justifying that it is part of life and doing just fine.

For many of us when the pain of comfort becomes more than the pain of self-improvement, when we are in do or die situation, we tend to take action to make some changes in life. But think again, Do we need such extreme events to happen for us to do what is right and take right decisions that are tough yet in our best interests? Do we need a crisis to take care of ourselves?

Impact of Food on Mental health

Knowing what foods we should and shouldn’t be eating can be really confusing, especially when it feels like the advice changes regularly. However, evidence suggests that as well as affecting our physical health, what we eat may also affect the way we feel.

Improving your diet may help to:

  • Improve your mood
  • Give you more energy
  • Help you think more clearly.

Like an expensive car, your brain functions best when it gets only premium fuel. Eating high-quality foods that contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourishes the brain and protects it from oxidative stress — the “waste” (free radicals) produced when the body uses oxygen, which can damage cells.

Diets high in refined sugars, for example, are harmful to the brain. In addition to worsening your body’s regulation of insulin, they also promote inflammation and oxidative stress. Multiple studies have found a correlation between a diet high in refined sugars and impaired brain function — and even a worsening of symptoms of mood disorders, such as depression.

If your brain is deprived of good-quality nutrition, or if free radicals or damaging inflammatory cells are circulating within the brain’s enclosed space, further contributing to brain tissue injury, consequences are to be expected. 

Eating regularly

If your blood sugar drops you might feel tired, irritable and depressed. Eating regularly and choosing foods that release energy slowly will help to keep your sugar levels steady. Snacking between the meals must be avoided.

Staying hydrated

If you don’t drink enough fluid, you may find it difficult to concentrate or think clearly. You might also start to feel constipated (which puts no one in a good mood).

Getting your 5 a day

Vegetables and fruit contain a lot of the minerals, vitamins and fiber we need to keep us physically and mentally healthy.

Eating a variety of different colored fruits and vegetables every day means you’ll get a good range of nutrient

Looking after your gut

Sometimes your gut can reflect how you are feeling emotionally. If you’re stressed or anxious this can make your gut slow down or speed up.  For healthy digestion you need to have plenty of fiber, fluid and exercise regularly.

Healthy gut foods include: fruits, vegetables and wholegrains, beans, pulses, live yoghurt and other probiotics.

Getting enough protein

Protein contains amino acids, which make up the chemicals your brain needs to regulate your thoughts and feelings. It also helps keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Protein is in: lean meat, fish, eggs, cheese, legumes (peas, beans and lentils), soya products, nuts and seeds.

Managing caffeine

Caffeine is a stimulant, which means it will give you a quick burst of energy, but then may make you feel anxious and depressed, disturb your sleep (especially if you have it before bed), or give you withdrawal symptoms if you stop suddenly.

Caffeine is in: tea, coffee, chocolate, cola and other manufactured energy drinks

Eating the right fats

Your brain needs fatty acids (such as omega-3 and -6) to keep it working well. So rather than avoiding all fats, it’s important to eat the right ones.

Healthy fats are found in: oily fish, poultry, nuts (especially walnuts and almonds), olive and sunflower oils, seeds (such as sunflower and pumpkin), avocados, milk, yoghurt, cheese and eggs.

Supplement information that could support Brain health:

  • Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B9 (folate), and B12 are important for brain health among B-vitamin complex
  • All Fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K play big role in brain health
  • Omega 3 Fatty acids high in EPA and EHA
  • Zinc and Magnesium

A Multivitamin covering all vitamins and main minerals would generally compensate most of the micro nutrient needs

A dedicated Vitamin D3 + K2 supplement for maintenance

Be a Fighter in the Battle called ‘Life’

It is the fight that you put into the battle called ‘life’ daily that matters in the long run. You can never win the battle against anything, it is the fight that keeps you going. It is the fight or the journey that will make you learn, grow, improve and contribute.

You may not be able to motivate many people using videos or talks or speech. You just need to show up, you just need to have high integrity and walk the talk. When people see what you are doing, how you are fighting, may be a few of them might be motivated. People who get inspired and believe that they need to change for their best interests are the ones who are going to stick on. You do not need to talk too much, just keep hustling and do what you have to do for your own benefit because that is what you believe in. Just be yourself and be consistent, disciplined to achieve your purpose. If your purpose is strong enough, you will get an opportunity of a lifetime, that one moment where everything falls into place. Where all the struggles, sleepless nights and pain you went through pays off.

Just do something that makes you proud of yourself and have a daily routine that amazes most of people. A life like this will be inspirational to you, a worthy example to your loved ones and may be a few others around you could be motivated and improve themselves.

I don’t get up early morning for someone else or because I want to become a bodybuilder or fitness model. I just love to do that so that the fight early morning will set me up for the rest of the day. It is a  positive affirmation that I can control my body and mind, that I can do hard things, that I can push through the pain and struggle in gym, that I can challenge and win every morning, for the feeling that I am showing respect and valuing the most important assets that god gave us i.e. our body and mind.

Yes, life is a race. But it is not always necessary to win the race. Don’t beat up yourself to win the race. But finish the race gracefully so that you can be proud of yourself. Finishing the race with resilience matters the most at the end. And most importantly along the way how many others have you motivated and helped to finish the race. Because this race of life is not a competition and it is a collaboration. This race is unique.

Daily Routine and Rituals

The difference between a routine and a ritual is not necessarily the action, but the attitude behind the action.

To many, a routine is getting up every morning, eating breakfast, brushing your teeth, taking a shower, getting dressed, and going to work. It is not a meaningful part of our day, but it needs to get done so we do it. It’s viewed as a chore.

However, rituals are viewed as more meaningful practices. Often, there is symbolism involved, and a real sense of purpose. A big part of it is your subjective experience of the activity.

RoutinesRituals
Minimal engagementFull engagement
Tedious Symbolic and meaningful
Externally motivatedInternally motivated
Life as a dutyLife as a celebration
Disconnected series of eventsTells a story
Focus only on completion of tasksFocus on performance of tasks

Routine

I think of routines as checklists or a structure in which I act. It can be a list of things I do in the morning or the process of getting my kids down for bed. In either case, there is a series of tasks that I do consistently and in the same order.

Inside routines, I don’t have to think about what comes next. I do them frequently and I can do them without looking at a list. They remove the stress on my brain and help me accomplish a task quickly and efficiently, but they don’t necessarily recharge me.

Common routines: preparing work for the day, mowing the lawn, bedtimes, bathing, brushing teeth, making bed.

Ritual

Rituals are similar to routines since they are also a series of tasks that are completed in the same order. But a ritual’s intent is to provide energy and enjoyment along with structure. A ritual is a carefully selected process that has a positive side effect outside of the task being completed.

Common rituals: exercising, meditation, reading or writing a book, omitting some time for ones passions and interests.

There are two support patterns that help to structure our lives–routine and ritual, and they are not the same.

Routine means habits that give form to our daily lives–brushing our teeth, changing our underwear, eating at specific times, making appointments. Routine requires discipline, and it begins very early. It sustains us as we age. We organize pills according to day and quantity. We write things down on our calendars. It helps relieve the anxiety about “What do I do next?” or “What was I supposed to do today?”

Creating a routine gives us a sense of security. We are relieved from having to decide on when and how to do small, unimportant activities like where to sit at the table–which fork or spoon to use–whether to have coffee or tea. These simple, everyday activities reassure us, and unless we decide to change, we don’t have to think about that change.

Ritual is different. It is connected to a rite celebrating a particular occasion or initiation. Yes, it requires repetition and practice of a sort, and yes, it does require discipline, but the purpose is different. Rituals demand thought, often an inner meditation on an abstract concept, whereas a routine is performed without conscious thinking. Rituals demand attention to process as well as to affect. Ritual connects us to our community and to society in general.

Routine reinforces our sense of control over our every-day lives. We need both routine and ritual. Without routine, we are beset with decision-making over the smallest, most mundane aspects of daily life; without ritual, we deprive ourselves of connecting with other members of our tribe or social group.

When we are young, our parents create routines for us that make their lives (and ours) easier. They insist we do our homework at a specific time every day; that we have breakfast and dinner at a specific time; that we do chores around the house or garden according to a specific schedule. As teens, we often resist their scheduling, and try to set up our own schedules, establishing our own routines. The process is important, even if it is not often successful.

We need both routine and ritual. We crave the patterns of socialization–they remind us of our connection to others. Routine helps us to organize our time, creating schedules that fit our needs. Routine helps to give form to our daily lives. Ritual expands our horizons to aspects of life beyond daily requirements. We need both pillars to sustain us, especially as we age.

Be Happy to See Others Happy, Be Healthy to See Others Healthy

It is a common human mentality that we wish others to have the same kind of feelings or things that we ourselves are experiencing . We intend to pull others to a better position and wish to see others improving in their lives when we ourselves are doing well in our lives, we wish others to have happy family relationships when and we are enjoying our personal relationships, we wish others to have a great professional life when we ourselves are doing exceptional in our job. When we are filled with optimism and hopeful about better tomorrow, then we wish to fill the world with positivity and kindness.

Similarly, if you we are mentally upset and having a lot of pent up negative emotions, then one might not necessarily wish others must suffer but at the same time one might not be in a condition to think of betterment of the rest of the world. If one is unhealthy, having financial troubles, been through job loss, suffering from diseases, dealing with relationship problems – they would be focused more on themselves to get out the difficulties and recover from them as soon as possible before hoping well for others.

To summarize this general mindset, we see the world around us in the same state as we are. And as an extension to this we wish the world to experience  what we are experiencing. The way we express this feeling and emotions could be positive or negative.

When we fill our minds with happiness, positivity, gratitude and hope we see the things around us with great care and value. When we ourselves are overflowing with happiness, health, wealth, positivity, inspirations, joy we wish others also experience the bliss and we would be in a position to share our gifts wit others.

Death Scares Us Only If We Are Not Living A Life Today

  • Death should be an inspiration for us to lead an impactful life.
  • Death must remind us that you are here for a purpose and all of us has something to offer.
  • Death should remind us that time on this planet is limited for all of us and runs fast.
  • Death should keep us alert to value everyone and every moment in our lives. 
  • Death should keep us grounded and fill us with gratitude when we wake up every morning.
  • Death should make us value time and respect time.
  • Death should only compel us to do as many positive and constructive deeds as possible in our limited time.
  • Death should not make us a nihilist rather it should be an inspiration to accomplish noble things that helps others and make this place a better place than when we were born.

As Confucius said ” YOU HAVE TWO LIVES, THE SECOND ONE BEGINS WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE ONLY ONE LIFE”.

I ask these questions to myself and keep asking on a regular basis to keep me rooted and stay on track

  • How many people did I loved heartfully, how many people loved me whole heartedly.
  • Am I a role model and a hero to your kids and loved ones
  • Did I live my life to the fullest doing the work I love, pursuing my passion with a visioN
  • Did I feel alive most of my life.
  • How did I help and support others to improve their lives
  • How many lives did I touch
  • What did I do to create a positive impact in this world.
  • How did I impact my loved ones,
  • How did I serve my community
  • Did I even try to make things better when I feel that I can make a difference.
  • Did I live today with an intent and fulfilled my inner passion to the best extent possible
  • Did I do the best I could with what I have and where I am
  • How did I keep myself inspired and how many people did I inspire.
  • How did I keep myself motivated and did I help others to find their motivation.

I keep asking myself “Is this a good day to die as a blissful failure”? – I keep working till the answer is ‘Yes’.
