Daily Dozen!

Macbeth

To be successful and even afterwards, one still need physical activities to stay fit, doing things for mindfulness and calmness to enjoy those accumulations. Finding the meaning amidst the chaos which pertain both inside and outside of our existences, lays in the practice of daily dozen.

The real meaning is not about finding it but more of giving to it. Once we have a fair deal of knowing the limitations of life, it’s a time to cross over them.

Health, wealth, happiness, can get limited if one’s mind is not joyful. In the spur of moment in making oneself stronger in the worldliness, there is an equal opposite taxation happening on the soul. A fine grain of balancing is essential .

There is no point in getting attached to a particular outcome and get loose the sense of other dimensions of living. Every achiever has touched this aspect in some way or the other.

Life is all know-er and all giver. Maybe the time span which one is expecting for the results is not in its scope. Since for it, it is a single entity journeying with different attires. Hence to know when to stop is more important so that we don’t become prey of our own understandings of success. Living a life as if there is no inner world is like fighting in the dark to win over the fear.

Find a dozen ways in a day to bring back the conscience towards self. If one can gain the alertness that time is slipping like sand grains in hand, and then realign to activities which leads to life goals. In the absence of it, as Dale Carnegie puts, 'we are paying too much for a whistle'.

I observe it is easier by segmenting a day into few blocks with specific purposes. ( three in this example )

First segment

- 4.30 am – 8:30 am (check successful people routine)

- Begin with meditation (to know what we are doing)

- Followed with physical exercises

- Read goals; better even write them every day.

- Recitation of affirmations

Second segment

- Next 10 hours keep for activities for passion aligned purpose oriented life’s goals.

- Practice, day job, meaning before money kind of activities, small bits of a bigger goal

Last segment

- 6:30 pm till 10: 30 pm.

- May include exercise, walk,

- Meditation, or observe slower breathing,

- Dine before sunset or latest by 730 pm

- Rerun the day in mind, note learning and plan actions for tomorrow.

Sticking to the routine and the segmentation avoids getting our mind slipped away with trivial which are posed by day to day mood of oneself and of those around us. It enforces time-out and move to other priorities. Big idea is to bring back the life goals in front of eyes and checking is our daily activities are aligned towards it.

Maybe it’s time to find your daily dozen to get the best out of this year.
