Friends let me ask you few simple questions. Do you feel
like you’re “sleep-walking” through life? Do you wish you had more freedom? Do
you wish you had more adventure? Do you wish you had more time? Do you wish you
had more love? Do you dread Monday mornings?

Are you still trying to figure out how to live life to the
fullest? If so, you’re far from alone. The sad thing is that most people go
through life having never really experienced what life has to offer. What you
need to understand is that everything holding you to a life you don’t want to
live is a prison created by your own mind. That doesn’t mean you can just wish
yourself into a new life, but it does mean that you can actively work towards
living life to the fullest.
I am sure you have seen pictures from my recent power-packed
workshop called ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’. I am sharing some tips from the
same that will help you in living the only life you have to the fullest:
1.
Take care
of your body- I always mention this and I will continue to do it in the
future. Eat healthy when you can, get a good night’s sleep, and exercise. Your
only connection with this world is through this fleshy meat vehicle we call our
bodies. Take good care of it.
2.
Take care
of your mind- Stop feeding it a constant stream of junk. A little downtime
is alright, but don’t dedicate every free hour you have to watching realty TV,
watching gossip blogs, checking sports scores, and doing other stuff that
requires little mental energy. Even the news can rot your brain with its
constant barrage of negativity and biased sensationalism.
3.
Live
consciously- We all get into ruts and routines we use to get through
the day, but we only have a limited number of days on this earth. Don’t put
life on auto-pilot – live consciously. Always ask yourself – why am I doing
this? If you wake up too many mornings in a row without a good answer, then it’s
time to make a change.
4.
Overcome
your fears- We all have things in our lives, whether it’s our
circumstances or personal flaws that are holding us back from doing thing we
truly want to do. You can accept it, rationalize it away, or face your fears.
Which one will you choose?
5.
Improve
your social skills- Some people are natural social butterflies. For
those of us who aren’t, make an effort to improve your social skills. There’s
nothing wrong with being an introvert and enjoying time alone, but don’t poor
social skills hold you back when you need them. Improving your social skills
will also help you in whatever line of work or business you choose.
6.
Do work
you love- Not everyone gets to play football or in a rock band for a
living, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find something you love waking up in
the morning for. Keep looking for it, and don’t give up until you find it. Life
is too short to fear Sunday evenings.
7.
Surround
yourself with the type of people you’d want to be- There’s a saying
that you’re the average of your 5 closest friends. While this may not be a
scientific fact, it’s a useful thought exercise. If you constantly spend time
with negative people, you’ll become negative as well. If you spend time around
people with no ambition, you’ll find your own dreams slipping away as well. On
the other hand, surrounding yourself with awesome people who want the same
things you want in life will set you up for success.
8.
Stop
giving up- Have you ever heard the story (urban myth?) of the man who
was lost in the desert? He was found half a mile from a large oasis city. The
point of this story is to illustrate the danger of quitting. Things are always
hard until they get better, but you’ll never know how close you came to
achieving your goals if you quit before you see them all the way through.
This is an incredible month. We are soon going to step in
the New Year so try to transform you, how much ever you can in the last 15 days
that remain.
Also, I would like to mention that we are heading towards
the magic number of 10K followers on Facebook. Keep the likes going as one
lucky follower stands a chance to win something special. Details about it will
be shared on my facebook page soon. Follow this link: https://www.facebook.com/CoachBSR
Wish you a lovely time ahead.
Live With Passion!
Loads of Love,
BSR
