Plan-Organize-Recreate: Heal yourself with food!

Did you know that eating the right food at the right time is a medicine to our body?
If no, then you need to check this out!
We always eat whenever and whatever we feel without any thought behind it.
But food is that fuel to our body that not only gives us the energy we need but also cures our body just like medicine.
After eating the right food of right amout and at the right time, we can see some miraculous difference in mind, soul and body. 
Right! Not only the body but also our soul and mind.
All these benefits can be only seen if we consiously eat food with total awareness. 
Let's see how!?

1) What to eat?:
Fresh, Local, Satvic and Seasonal. Nature has designed certain types of food for certain type of areas. Well, this verifies the theory of eating food grown within 100Km radius. This local food is mostly fresh with all the 'satva' in it. Also, season is a major element that we need to consider.

2) When to eat?: 
Our digestive system is synced with the sun. That is: Our digestive fire increases- with the rising of sun, our digestive fire reaches it's peak- when the sun is at the top and our digestive fire dampens- with the setting of sun. Hence, it is really important to follow the nature of the body and eat accordingly.

3) How to eat?:
Well, that is no hidden to anyone 'Chew 32 times', a very conscious way to eat food. This shows us the importance of loving the food and enjoying every morsel of it. As simple as this sounds, but hard to implement.

All of these are some ways of eating consciously, with all the attention which fascinated me the most.
As I started implementing them, it was a challenge to change all my eating habits as a foodie. But, consistency was the key along with the will to eat consiously for a 'Better self'. I really started this as an experiment but the results were unpredictably awsome.
In a country that we live, we consider our body as the temple, it is important to preach it with complete devotion.

Plan-Organize-Recreate: How to think Right for Successful Life

Do you enjoy being with yourselves, ‘Just you’? If you are made to sit in a room alone for 15-minutes and provided with a button to shock yourself, will you shock yourself up or think for 15-minutes? Stay up with your answer! When Timothy Wilson, a Social Psychologist at University of Virginia, U.S. performed a social experiment to check the ‘Thinking period’ of people. Wilson and his team left the participants alone in the lab room in which they could push a button and shock themselves up if they wished to. Even if the participants agreed to pay money to avoid being shocked with electricity before, 67% of men and 25% of women chose to shock themselves up rather than sit quietly and think. This means that 67% of men and 25% of women couldn’t stand their own thought for 15 minutes. This is so sad that people feel bored and uncomfortable with their own thoughts! On the Contrary, some people are over-thinkers to an extent that they dislike themselves for overthinking ov...

Plan-Organize-Recreate: How do we Deal with change?

credit: third party image reference If changes in life haunts you and you are least comfortable with changes, then this one is for you! Many of us find it difficult to change according to situations. This is because we are in some way or the other scared of changes. Some will say that, “Oh come on, I am not scared of changes, let it come I’ll face it all”. But, speaking frankly we all get little disturbed if things don’t work as per we expected them to be. Exactly, that’s what happens deep down we all have expectations of how things will go about in our life. But, as soon as some situations change and we find that nothing is going according to how we thought it would be and we resist changing according to it. In simple words, we resist change in our life. Psychiatrist Elizabeth Kubler explains this beautifully in her Kubler-Ross Model. The model explains the five stages of human emotions when something changes abruptly or when human finds it difficult to cope up with the change. The fi...

Plan-Organize-Recreate: In the Realm of Checklists!

Do you pre-define your tasks for the day? If not, then do you get haunted by thinking about where exactly you are heading in Life? Do you get insecure by thinking about what you are doing with your life? Does the future that you imagined yourself in seems impossible for you sometimes? Do you mess up important stuff in your Life? Do you feel lost after spending 4-5 hours on phone? If the answer is ‘YES’ to any one of the question then the solution is “Make your Check-list”. Let me elaborate for you! When World Health Organization reached Atul Gawande, a Harvard Surgeon, for a project to reduce deaths in surgery. Then, Atul and his team studied some high-risk industries like Sky-scrapper construction and the Aviation Industry. Soon they discovered that these industries have Technology, Training and one other most important thing called ‘Checklists’. Subsequently, Atul and his team with the help of some surgeons systematized and standardized the surgery process. That is, The...
