Hello my loveliest people,

How are you enjoying your life?

We have been gifted with life, so are we enjoying it to the fullest or living in miseries?

I think I am enjoying it, but not to the fullest. However, I am on a journey to make it worthwhile.

I sometimes imagine myself going on a solo tour with my bike (I feel like purchasing a Royal Enfield) so that I can travel and work (currently, my work is remote). I think I can easily do it, but something stops me. I believe it is my inertia of staying in this cocoon life, which doesn't let me come out of it.

Although I am pretty sure that it will give me a new perspective on life, I can imagine going on a solo trip, packing all my bags, leaving the city early in the morning, taking a halt midway for a very healthy breakfast, and then eating a sattvic lunch in a village. I would take photos and write in my journal to reflect on how my days went.

Sometimes I feel like life is all about the little things, but we should dream of the biggest universe. We should stay grounded and enjoy life while taking baby steps to reach where we want to go.

Today, I didn't cook healthy food. It was chicken biryani with a bit more oil than I usually use, tea once, and buns twice with a lot of butter. But one good thing is that I drank 3 liters of water, which I promised myself, so it is now 1/21 completed for water. I am happy about that.

Work-wise, I didn't progress much and slept for a longer period of time. The reason might be my gut. I think I need to be more mindful and kind to my gut, and my lifestyle needs a major improvement.

I feel physically and mentally tired, maybe because of pranic energy or my metabolism taking a toll. I need to be more mindful of what to eat and how to burn excessive calories.

It's fine because I am taking baby steps, and it will be done for sure. I have completed the challenge of writing, self-cooking, and hydration, and I am grateful today as well.

I will definitely meet you tomorrow :)

Love always,

Vivek

Outbursting thoughts | Part-1

It is 2:44 AM. My body is lying on the bed inside a locked room in a 33-story high-rise building, and I'm with my soul and skin intact, trying to figure out what my little brain is thinking. It's a thought or a line of thinking described in Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen, or perhaps it's the 1st or 2nd system defined by Daniel Kahneman in his book Thinking, Fast and Slow . I'm not entirely sure, but at this moment, I could have slept. Instead, my little brain is racing at high speed. You might wonder what all this nonsense is, but yes, it does happen. It showers a warm wave of heat onto my heated skin, bringing me to misery. Is it a problem with my brain, or is there some energy surrounding me, or maybe inside me, that induces these thoughts? Is it this energy that calls my brain to think, crave, and dig up the buried soul? The soul, which I buried in some unidentified area within me, gets unearthed by my brain, prompted

Hello, my loveliest peeps, I am journaling early today because I have good news to share. However, you'll need to read through to the end for the reveal. Today, my day started at 11 am IST. I prepared buns and butter for breakfast, read a few pages of my book, and reflected on how household chores and office work are keeping me from going out. This has taken a toll on both my physical and mental health. It's often said that unbalanced chakras or energy blockages can cause such issues. Around 3-4 pm, I decided to cook something. I soaked dal and rice, added soya chunks, and put everything in a cooker for 7-8 whistles. Meanwhile, I mashed potatoes with tomato and garlic for a chokha recipe, fried some papad, and served the khichdi with dahi and achar. The good news is that I completed both the hydration challenge and the journaling challenge. Additionally, I started a fitness class today and attended the Evolve yoga session. It was great

My Daily Blog Hello my dear loveliest peeps, Hope you're doing great, safe, and sound. Today is the 6th day of my blog, and as you know, this challenge lasts for 21 days. I got up late this morning, around 9:30 AM, and had 7 almonds which I soaked last night. I started my day by drinking lots of water and preparing food for lunch. I did not have any breakfast as I was quite busy with office meetings. self-cooked For lunch, I had bhindi-baingan-tomato ki sabji and cabbage fry. I also prepared 3 parathas and had them for lunch. Afterward, I resumed reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. He mentioned a few things such as Add-1 and Add-3 tasks. I am still watching other videos to understand these concepts. I am not able to fully grasp what he wants to convey. The only thing I understand is that using multiple
