Habits are essential part of life! I
am not sure of any technic to learn habits but what is certain is that “one's
life changes, when his habits change.”
Let’s have a look at tiny habits that
have potential to contribute to power of changing lives:-
Cultivate a 15 minutes writing habits:-
I know you be wondering what to write,
I can remember well! That’s great but still get in this habit by writing, everything
can be a starting point: air, water, food, shelter, body or its parts...May be
start writing 5 things you are grateful for on daily basis. May be things you
are grateful to your wife? If you can
come up with 100, that's fine, but 1 is enough. If you can elaborate why
you are grateful for that, that's fine, but focus on writing this one thing
first. It should be a new thing every day
Try and do ONE of these two activities
as fast and hard as you can for 60 seconds:
Sprint : A lung busting sprint I'm
talking about for 60 seconds
Pushups : As many as you can.
If you do this PROPERLY well done. You
should be in immense pain by the 60 seconds end.
Do you realise you've just experienced
MORE pain in JUST 60 seconds than 95% of the people in your life you will ever
meet?
Additional benefits of above activity
are:-
High-intensity-training is the most
effective fat burning, immune boosting.
Releases Dopa-mine into the brain - the
bodies 'feel good chemical'
You will likely find you want to
exercise longer - so you'll get healthier still
It'll increase your tolerance for pain
- helps with sports, tattoos, exercise, and all else physical [Oops!! possibly
Indian journalist can avoid this one]
Breathe correctly:
Many people do not understand the impact
breathing has on physiological and psychological well-being. Think about how
shallow your breath becomes when you are stressed.
Most of us breathe into the upper
chest, which is not the best way to breathe because it signals the body that we
are under stress even when we are not. In turn, shallow breathing activates the
sympathetic nervous system (the fight or flight response).
Instead, practice relaxed
diaphragmatic breathing, which is a slow and calm movement of your diaphragm,
not your upper chest. Diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the parasympathetic
nervous system, which causes the brain to release endorphins which in turn
reduces muscle tension and feelings of anxiety.
Deep breathing also oxygenates our
blood which keeps our cells in an aerobic state, which then aids in fat loss
and increases our energy.
Read books at least 30 minutes a day:-
Books not online contents please. The
more you read, the better you write. Reading, especially in long form, can help
you to develop your intellectual and deep understanding in a much better way
than scanning a 5 minutes 'X way to do Y' kind of news.
Being strategically selfish sometimes.
By that I mean saying "No"
to unreasonable requests, and prioritizing your own self-growth and personal
development.
As you take care of yourself, your
capacity to be a good person and take care of others as well will increase. I
am personally confused where I fit to this point really.
Take 10,000 steps daily
"Sitting more than six hours a
day greatly increases your risk of an early death. No matter how much you
exercise, eat well, avoid smoking, or add other healthy habits, excessive
sitting will cause problems."
Some lazy bone around say horse run
and it dies in 17-20 years but tortoise leaves for 300 years, I hope you know
now why for tortoise at least?
