One New Year Resolution that could transform your life

One New Year resolution that will transform your life is starting Meditation. Simple. As we step into another Year of our life, open a new page and write your own future.

Imagine that your phone has decided to play truant and starts displaying random apps on the screen in quick succession without your control! Your phone is almost bricked as it is of no use to you. Before you can take some action on the app of your interest, it disappears and another show up. 

Are our thoughts that show up in our mind any different? Our mind keep jumping from one to another randomly with almost no control. While our brain has massive processing power and memory, unfortunately has only one CPU which can process a SINGLE THREAD at any given instant. If you allow the CPU to be loaded with irrelevant data, your human computer is as good as crashed. What a waste. We all know that thoughts turn into actions, which in turn decides where we go in life.

There is a solution which can help, even if not 100% effective ie. Mind control by practicing daily meditation. Even 10 minutes a day helps to discipline your mind to blank out your random thoughts for a short period which is sufficient for the brain CPU to load the relevant app and start working on it. Once it is hooked to this and you ensure that you don’t multitask and get distracted by your devices, there is a good chance that you will improve your effectiveness multifold. 

If you want to take a New Year resolution, would strongly suggest that you decide to start meditation. Just sitting in silence for 10 minutes is a good start. You can take help of 100s of great apps freely available to help you maintain the required discipline till this becomes a habit. 

Trust me it is life changing habit. 

Wish you all a Happy and prosperous New Year and seasons greeting...

Are We Not Mentally Crippling our Children?

  The World demands that our children grow into a emotionally and physically strong citizens who can face the challenges head on. But the question we need to ask ourselves is, are we REALLY doing something about it in a purposeful manner, early on when the time was right? Are we really investing time and energy into cultivating the right values and behaviors in our children, preparing them for the tough competitive world? While I was contemplating on the leadership demands of being m ore fearless and confident that is put on young citizens and managers today, it stuck me that this muscle is best built when minds are fresh and uncorrupted, during early childhood. With nuclear families and conflicting demands of time and attention, parents are more than eager to meet each and every demand of our children so that children are 'apparently' happy and contented. Who does not want to give our children all that we could not get in our early childhood, due to lack of money or availabil...

Time Or Mind Management?

Image
 People have written books on how to manage your time, thinking deeply, I consider it not a issue of time but mind management. After all you will act on and spend your time on what thoughts are coming to your mind. It is impossible that body acts independently of the mind and the thoughts. Control and manage your mind and time will automatically be better managed. Everybody has 24 hours in day, how you use it makes all the difference.  A chaotic mind runs random thoughts, most which are irrelevant to the present. Have you noticed that the physical time and physiological times are not the same. When you are bored, time just not pass and seems to be stuck. Exactly opposite happens when you are engaged in an interesting and stimulating activities fully focused on it, hours pass by and you feel as if it was just a few minutes. Time stops when you are in deep sleep or meditation.  The more calmer your mind is, the more aware you will be of the situation and more focused and pu...

Every Second Matters - Don't Lose 3.15 Million of Them

Image
  Research shows than most of us have already forgotten our New Year Resolutions by end of the first week. But frankly we don't need a year change to start something meaningful. That’s 3,15,36,000 opportunities lost that every second brings us in one year. The very next second can be THE transformative moment in your life. A second ago he was Mohandas Gandhi and very next he was on his path to become a Mahatma; a second ago she was a Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, a humble school teacher in Kolkata and very next she took her first step to become Mother Teresa. We all get such moments and most of us ignore it. Every sunrise is restart of our life going ahead, with the advantage of hindsight, experiences and lifetime learnings preloaded. It is like a head start of many years on our life marathon. What more can you want!
