power of simple act: Journaling
how journaling can benefit you and your family a better tomorrow
its OK if you are not sharing your experiences on LinkedIn or any other networking platforms its absolutely fine.
but its NOT OK if you are not doing it for self and your family and friends.
how about if our parents and generations before had scripted their experiences of personal life / profession / problems and shared with us as we were growing.
how about getting to know about the history of own family may be they had a better living management and habits than today which got lost while the generation were shaping their dreams into reality ?
Do you think it would have helped you to deal with problems / achievements / failures better which they have already experiences and found a solution ? or it could have helped to find a better solution ?
if your answer is YES then you need to start journaling your experiences.
we all remember major failures / achievements in our life when it hits us but do we remember minor issues / small achievements of our past decade and what lesson it has shaped us?
if your answer is NO then you need to start journaling your experiences.
impact of journaling is so powerful that even today stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata which took thousands of years ago is still influencing today.
we may not live so long but our experiences can if you start documenting them.
your documented journal it may or may not be so powerful to influence the world but it will be enough to shape a better tomorrow for you and your close ones whom you share with.
when you start reading your own journals it helps to realize what problems / changes / achievements / failures have shaped your present which indeed influences you towards making it more better and compound it.
you will laugh a lot as well while reading your own journals when you find some part of act in your journey where so stupid.
A generation of family never talked about how to manage and maintain relationships with frnds / family / partners / customers / colleagues and we learned through our own experiences.
Every generation in family history must have same experience and found solution for it but it was never shared out in the journey of busy life what if you missed this part as well going forward ? a simple act of journaling could help to deal with known problems better.
journaling also shapes better finance management for you and your family it helps you to understand certain expenses that are meaningless / why certain investment didn't meet the desired directional outcome / what are the right asset class where investment should be made to meet the goal associated with it.
it also helps you understand what direction your professional career is heading towards and what action you need to take further for example is it giving you the satisfaction or is it just helping to maintain living expenses.
it helps you to manage your health better when you journal your health problems it forces you to think how to overcome it or what changes needs to be applied to resolve repetitive health problems rather suppressing it with tablets.
so start writing for yourself a simple tool to do quantitative analysis of your life journey.
it's important to allocate some time for this tool its not necessary it should be daily or weekly.
it can be done monthly / quarterly as well what's more important is it needs to be placed in practice.

Morning Routine And its Importance
For most of us, mornings can be a stressful and hectic time. Rushing to get ready for work or school, getting stuck in traffic, and facing the challenges of the day ahead can be overwhelming.
my morning used to start always by 8 or 9 am even during childhood and graduation days.
but it was a forced change in 2013 when I had to get up by 5:45 AM as my work location during this time was far away which took me around two n half hour of travel.
This was a time when the buzzword 'remote work' did not yet exist
however this routine was more related to be readiness for work.
while commuting to work, just thought to use the time and started reading books and blogs on various topics.
since my body clock didn't change on weekend started cultivating jogging on weekend as my morning routine followed by hydrating the body with coconut water.
what happen next after around 1 yr of this routine ?
the focus towards work was changed started observing out thing in more detail
the body was automatically energetic and light
the connect towards nature was changed
the connect towards food was changed craving for junk food decreased and also started to keep the timing of food intake strict.
I left the organization by 2015 while morning pattern become a normal routine even today with some more additional adjustments.
weekdays included a daily exercise for 20 min + change in eating patterns and weekend was focused toward jogging / cycling / walking.
reading routine brought another change of thoughts and value towards life and people.
2020 we all got hit by COVID - adding some turbulence on morning routine of exercise and reading from daily routine it moved to weekly and then monthly since allotment of time was changed.
this also taught me that it's not easy to manage a home.
but it also led me to cultivate a habit of meditation and realizing I had tons of monkey thoughts running.
this habit is now helping to clean this tons of thoughts and make it more focused.
This journey is improving day by day, and was able to bring back my basic morning routine.
Once restrictions lifted after COVID, added one more step to my routine and started walking while chanting, which I named 'walking meditation'
why this story is now shared after a decade ?
to help others seekers who are looking to bring some change in their habit and not give up since none of such routine gets cultivated in a flash of time.
it takes years to build step by step adding one by one turning habit into discipline approach of living which now doesn't requires any motivation to follow it.
such routine also bring a lot of changes in approach towards people / society / how you associate with your work / life and many factors which can be felt through this journey......
