I am back to podcast. Thanks team for your encouraging wordings to start this again.

Consistency, on its face, takes time. To be consistent, we have to replicate positive behavior or performance day after day, until it defines us.

Easy tips for keeping consistency.

Isolate the goals : Be very specific in writing about your goal what do you want to achieve. Don't combine two or three goals together where one is dependent on others and stopping all when you are not able to follow the first.

Write it : Document all the goals in one place so that you know which one to do first.

Number it: Mention how many days you have completed out of how many days you are expecting to do. For example this podcast is Day17 for me out of 365.

Focus on completion: Plan to finish the goal within the day. Publish it immediately after completing that instead of publishing it next day morning.

Fight your emotions : It is obvious your mind may say so many reasons for not doing that goal. Come across that feel and win it by doing it.

Forgive your failures: One or two days in between due to any unavoidable reason if you are missing it, accept it and forgive that so that coming out of that is easy and to start again.

Today my question to you all is

"Are you keeping consistency in your task/goal ?"

Thanks team for your response for yesterday's podcast. Some of you asked for the tips of how to go to bed early. So let us analyse that here.

Here are some ideas for how to go to bed early that will change the way you approach getting enough sleep.

1. Bid Blue Lights Goodbye

2. Introduce Some Aromatherapy

3. Up Your Magnesium Intake

4. Rethink Your Bed Setup

5. Don’t Wait to Be Sleepy to Go to Bed

6. Eliminate Afternoon Caffeine

7. Try to Get More Daily Natural Light

8. Be Consistent (Even When You Don’t Want To)

Main point is switching off your electronics gadgets minimum 30 min before your bedtime. This gives darkness to your eyes and help in early sleep ; less strain to your eyes.

Today my question to you all is

"Are you preparing yourself in going to bed early ?"

I am realizing that due to some urgent official work for the past three weeks my calls at night time got extended and i am going to bed only after midnight 12. I knew it very well this will affect my metabolism.

Analyzed this point and sharing my thoughts also with you all.

7 reasons why sleeping early is good for you

1.Our Body Will Have More Time to Heal : From our immune system to our muscles, repairs are made on a cellular level, toxins are being removed, and our entire body is basically going for change.

2.The Extra Time Gives Your Body a Chance to Breathe : Any loose-fitting & Cotton dresses allowing our skin to get enough air flowing to it. Sleeping on top of cotton sheets also helps us to get a more restful sleep.

3. Getting Enough Sleep is Better for Successful Weight Loss : When the body is well-rested, hormones within the body are balanced. There are specific hormones that affect a person’s appetite, which can be thrown out by a good amount of sleep

4. We Will Be Less Likely to Become Depressed: Getting plenty of rest boosts a person’s mood and decreases the chance of depression / suicidal thoughts.

5. Sleep Boosts our Memory : Our body is resting but our brain is trying to make sense of all the day’s events. It is busy consolidating information, processing images, feelings, and memories

6. Stress is Greatly Reduced: Going to bed early will give us more time to relax in a comfortable setting and get some stress-reducing rest.

7. Job Performance Will Be Much Better : People who get to bed early are well-rested for work the next day. When they arrive at work, they are ready for the day’s task and can do it with a clear head and more efficiency.

Today my question to you all is

"Are you going to bed early ?"

I am realizing that my eyes were becoming tired since nowadays during work from home the usage of gadgets are high. I am using below methods to get rid of that. What about you ?

take frequent viewing breaks.

Try the 20-20-20 Rule. ...

minimize glare.

use proper lighting.

adjust the display settings on your screen.

use lubricating eye drops.

Soak a cloth in warm water and apply that to tired eyes

Today my question to you all is

"Are you relaxing your eyes ?"

Some of you expressed that by seeing others walking you also started walking. Good. I thought of sharing some analysis about walking .

To get started walking, all you’ll need is a pair of flat walking shoes.

Choose a walking route near your home.

You can have one mentor from your family to walk along with you. Alternatively, you can add walking into your daily routine.

Here are some ideas:

Look for opportunities wherever you can walk like get off your bus or train one stop early and walk the rest of the way to work.

Park farther away from your office than usual and walk to and from your car.

Consider walking instead of driving wherever it is possible.

Walking can fulfill daily recommended exercise for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Consider getting a pedometer or other fitness tracker to keep track of your daily steps. Here are some to check out.

Choose a walking route and daily step goal that’s appropriate for your age and fitness level.

Warm and cool down before walking to avoid injury. Always speak to your doctor before starting a new fitness routine

Today my question to you all is

"When are you going to get the benefits of walking ?"

I just want to share one of my friends experience here and I want to analyse it.

Last week she was little busy and this week she is free due to complete lockdown in chennai. One of her wats up group member put up the question to her in the above manner. " Looks like you are free for this week. Why can't you do this ?"

Is it the correct way of asking ? Is it not initiating the other person's ego even if the person want to do some help basically we can't take advantage of people's time. Right ?

I have decided to know the basics behind and followed the correct way of asking help from others. What about you ?

Can – “can you help me?” which means are you able to help?

Could – “could you help me?” which means is it possible for you to help?

Would – “would you help me?” which means are you willing to help?

Other modal verbs are possible too but these three are the most common ones when asking for help. If we need to be really polite when asking for help like when we are talking to a colleague or our boss or a customer for example, it's a good idea to include “would you mind”.

Would you mind helping me?

Today my question to you all is

"Are we careful while we ask help / request from others ?"

Normally i am not a consistent person. When i am giving the name for doing some challenges i used to maintain the consistency whatever it may come.

Analysed the reasons what i have done so far so that i was able to be consistent

I made this as my habit because i might have bad days or slip up.

I tried to complete the maximum goals by morning itself

Initial few minutes are crucial since i even feel like i don't want to do this.... But after few minutes after endorphin segregation we feel that interest in the exercise what we do...

We shouldn't hurt our self by doing too much in one day itself so that consistency might not break the next day due to body pain.

Focus on and take responsibility for the process, not the potential results.

Find and do what we love or like to do.

Finally we should think the way to complete our goal instead of thinking how can i avoid skipping the goal.

Today my question to you all is

"Are we consistent in completing our daily challenges ?"

ontinuously more than one week less than 4 hours sleep made my eyes looks very tired. I was analyzing about this and found below.

Having a supercharged sense of smell, sound, sight, taste and touch can transform our every day life. If we want to keep our senses sharp and mind refreshed

please try any one activity of below.

1. SMELL: Inhale strong scents every day. Yes. While cooking i will get nice aroma of ghee with doll / Ghee with vegetable.

2. SOUND: Listen to music. Yes. Leoroja's El condor pasa instrumental music is my favorite and atleast twice i used to listen on daily.

3. SIGHT: Do eye exercises. I am yet to start this habit. I used to wash my eyes two times in a day with chill water.

4. TASTE: Add variety to your diet. Yes this is happening.

5. TOUCH: Pay attention to how things feel. When we spend time with our family members particularly with elders, this is very useful.

Today my question to you all is

"Are we charging our senses " ?

I realized yesterday i was not able to do my morning 5 am walk for 10K steps / Day.

Afternoon one of my family member reminded me about that. Also evening the same member reminded me about my tight schedule and pulled me out for walking.

Also day before yesterday due to tired i forgot my alarm to wake up at 4.30 am. When we are not feeling well our inner alarm will not work sometime.

Thank God. The same family member waked me up and asked what happened ? why i was not able to wake up as per my normal schedule ?

During Covid-19 this is much required na ? Keeping in mind /remember our family member's goals / challenges / diet will help them feel happy that you are taking care of them / Immunity will increase by doing exercises / consistency will not get break / feel through achievement

Family values reflect who we are and how we parent. Families and children learn resourcefulness through the practice of achieving goals—working hard, making decisions, and solving problems together

My question today to all of you is ""Are we taking care of ourself"
