👉What most people think about Meditation is NOT

👉What most people think about Meditation is NOT true.
They think that we have to empty our minds or stop the thoughts from coming in. Let me explain what Meditation really is!

Imagine you are sitting at the bank of a river.
Think of this river as your mind.
The logs, debris in the river are the contents of your mind.
The river is flowing and so are the contents (the contents are your thoughts which you cannot stop). Now for simplicity, let’s divide your mind into an Objective mind and a Reactive Mind.
For the uninitiated, their Reactive mind is very strong. It clings on the pleasant thoughts and tries to avert the negative thoughts. Hence the term Monkey Mind. It jumps from one thought to another within microseconds. This way of thinking is worthless and counterproductive.

However, when you start to meditate, the objective part of your mind starts to become strong. The objective mind simply OBSERVES. It does not judge or distinguish between unpleasant and pleasant thoughts.
A practical example of the above process is this: Imagine you are doing important work. After a while a thought comes in your mind that you should check your Insta-feed to see how many likes you got, or perhaps you are curious whether your colleague has sent you the email she said she will.
If you are a seasoned meditator, your objective mind will intervene before your reactive mind could cling on to these thoughts, and will simply observe. It will let these thoughts pass through without getting attached (just like the logs/debris flowing in the river)

This will allow you to keep doing your most important work with the utmost focus and dedication.
Meditation can simply help you structure your thoughts and make you very calm and productive. There are dozens of important benefits that I have discussed in my Meditation course.
For a very low one time cost, you will get access to a 30,000 words Master Manual and over 4 hours of video-based lectures where I have shared my Vipassana Meditation experience.
I like to believe it’s a very practical course that will help you get started with this beautiful practice in a very easy and straightforward manner. Link in the bio!

Frequency is Better Than Intensity When I read th

Frequency is Better Than Intensity

When I read this statement for the first time, it had a major impact on me!

To explain it let me start with a quote by Aristotle: " We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is than is not an act, but a habit." Countless people have told me this: Akash, I have the best intention to eat healthily and become active. But almost every time, I end up quitting after a week or so. Something or the other comes up which breaks my momentum and it gets very difficult to start again.
This is no surprise. "A vast majority of people pay up for Gym membership, but never show up after a week or so"

What's the way out?

Focus on Frequency instead of intensity.
Do not worry too much about how long or how effective your workouts are or how perfect your diet is when starting off.
Make gradual changes, but do them every day.
Instead of joining a gym this time, start with just 5 minutes of bodyweight training at home. Build momentum.
Cannot even do 5 minutes? Just do 1 Pushup. But do it EVERY DAY, ideally first thing in the morning (your will-power is highest then). After a few days, your body will automatically ask you to do more.
The key idea is not to overwhelm yourself by promising something that puts fear in your mind or makes you anxious.
Just make the commitment ...so easy, that you are not able to say 'No' to yourself.
Another aspect of this rule is not to make too many habitual changes at once. Pick up just one (maximum two) things you want to change in your diet or training regime.
Perhaps, you want to increase your step count from 2000 per day to 3000 per day.
Or you want to start counting calories and so forth.
Focus on these two changes for a period of 21+ days and build it into a solid habit and only then think about including other habitual changes.
After 6 months or so you will have about a dozen awesome habits that you have automated and will work in favor of you...potentially for life!

Coconut Oil was demonized for many decades because

Coconut Oil was demonized for many decades because of its high saturated fat content. But in the past decade, it has been touted as a superfood because of lauric acid which is a Medium-Chain-Triglyceride. 👉MCTs are a type of saturated fat (coconut oil is ~47% lauric acid) that is directly metabolized in your liver and used as energy (and not stored as adipose tissues)! 👉Coconut oil has many other benefits and is anti-microbial. 👉I have used it as my cooking oil for many years and keep exchanging it with ghee from time-to-time. 👉In this article, I have provided a chart of how you should distribute your overall fat calories.

Remember this Phrase: Action Precedes Action. It's

Remember this Phrase: Action Precedes Action. It's the law of nature.
Use mechanical force to start your mind engine.

Get into the act.

I can think of countless small little things where earlier I used to postpone them.

But now, I simply go through the motion of these unpleasant tasks, and before I know it, I am into those tasks and even killing it:) Successful People Build Routines, Not Willpower

Try it, if you are in business. You need to be a self-starter.

A wise one man once said, 50% of the work is just showing up.

So if you don't feel like going to your office just keep showing up, I promise you things will eventually improve.

Not feel like working out?

Put your shoes on, and simply go to the gym.

I can almost guarantee that your gym attendance will drastically improve for this year.

Afraid to make THAT call?? Well, just make that call.

Of course some kind of preparation is important, but delay it beyond a point and you may end up feeling guilty later on.

The saying “ something is better than nothing” rightly fits in this scenario.

A rough draft is better than an empty page. That draft gives you something to work on when you open up later. That's how I write 500 words almost daily.
I'll leave you with a phrase that changed my life and had a big impact on my life: "The smallest action is better than the boldest of intention!" #actionhabit #fabulousbody21

Everything that you want to know about Omega-3. 👉More than 50% of your brain is lipids (fat), with DHA being the most prominent fatty acid! 👉Human body has trillions of cells and omega-3 is part of every cell-membrane. An optimal level of Omega-3 in your cells dictate a lot of fundamental processes leading to good health. 👉Optimal intake of Omega-3 fatty acids is linked with a host of AMAZING health benefits both for adults and even infants. 👉Heart health, cardiovascular health, reduction in anxiety and depression and many more health benefits are linked with optimal intake of Omega-3.
Unfortunately, ALA (the plant-based omega-3) converts very inefficiently into EPA & DHA (the usable form of omega-3) . To give you an idea, 5% ALA converts into EPA and only 0.5% ALA is converted into DHA!

In the article on Omega-3, I have provided all the calculations and charts to help you take the right steps that will help you optimize your Omega-3 intake😃

“If I know how you spend your time, then I know

“If I know how you spend your time, then I know what might become of you”
Epictetus

Time is a limited commodity. Use it wisely.
A great habit that I have inculcated is 'Planning my next day the evening before.' Abraham Lincoln once said: “ Give me six hours to chop down a tree, I’ll spend the first four sharpening the ax”

Sharpening the ax refers to planning.
Just 10-15 minutes of planning the previous day can literally help you save hours the very next day!

You can go old school and make a list with a pen and paper or note it in your Evernote account.
Now my recommendation is to keep your list as short as possible. Basically no more than 3 items.
Obviously, it’s beside the point for me to explain what kind of tasks you should be working on, but tasks high on the creative index should be prioritized.
For example, refrain from checking your emails, social media accounts, and general net browsing (first thing in the morning) and stick with tasks that require you to CREATE something. -Creating content for your business
-Reading a Non-Fiction Book and so forth.

Let's Talk about EGGS! Few Interesting Facts abou

Let's Talk about EGGS!

Few Interesting Facts about Eggs that you should know: 👉 Eggs raise HDL -the good cholesterol. Science is clear on this. 👉From a health perspective, you can safely eat up to 3 whole eggs per day 👉Most of the Nutrition is in the egg yolk (white is mostly protein), therefore eat the yolk, as nature intended. 👉A Whole Egg is one of the most nutritious foods with almost all vitamins and minerals present.
In addition, it has Lutein and Zeaxanthin (anti-oxidants) that are very beneficial for eye health. 👉With 6g of high-quality protein and 5g of healthy fats, an egg breakfast can be very satiating and can keep you full for a very long time. There is very little cravings/hunger when you have eggs for breakfast instead of a carb-based breakfast!
However, there are a few things to keep in mind: 👉Food is as good as it's the source. Go for eggs that come from pasture-raised hens! Hens that are provided with green pastures are happy hens and eat worms (instead of feeds of soy/corn). 👉Make sure the egg yolk is intact and never runny! A deep yellow or an orange yolk indicates good quality. 👉Lastly, do not overcook your eggs! Opt for poached, sunny-side up, under-cooked omlete, or soft-boiled. Try and avoid scrambled. This is because when you overcook your eggs, the cholesterol in it gets oxidized and can cause some issues! However, the science is not conclusive on it.
But I would still suggest not to overcook it!

A Perfect Start to your Day: Ginger Honey Tea Gin

A Perfect Start to your Day: Ginger Honey Tea

Ginger is Exceptional!

It can lower blood pressure, is anti-inflammatory, reduces the risk of heart diseases, and certain types of cancer.
It can cure indigestion besides many other health benefits!

I start my day with Ginger Tea (and add 5g of Raw Honey) for instant energy.
Highly recommended!! Take some ginger and grind it.
Bring water to boil and add the crushed ginger.
Leave it to simmer for a few minutes.
Then add some honey, and now mindfully enjoy this tea for at least 10 minutes (at the same time, being grateful for the things God has bestowed upon you)

Now start working…!!! #morningtea #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #nutritioncoach #nutritioncoaching #gingertea #gingerhoneytea #fabulousbody21
