Hello all
Hope you all are doing great.
This is my 4th blog post. Let us quickly go through a short summary of the previous blog posts before starting with this one.
1. In my very first blog post, I had told you who I am, what I do, and what you're going to get through this blog. Either it's a life lesson or the mistakes I have done, which ultimately pulled me to failure, or tips on how to maintain a healthy relationship. Here you are going to get all these in the most precise way.
2. In my next post, I told you the biggest advice I got from one of my teachers. He told me " Live the life in such a way that it is the first day of your life. Leave all the past failures behind and start the journey all over again as if it is the very first day "
3. In my last post, I tried my best to make you all understand that " beginnings are always difficult, we just need to stick over it and never give up. " I had explained it through my example only, that what are the problems I faced in the beginning when I was learning a guitar.
If you want to get everything in detail, kindly visit through these blog posts. It will surely help you understand better.
Well
This morning I was just checking the calendar and actually realized that it is the 1st day of September. Friends can you actually see it. Eight months have been passed in the year 2018. Just 4 short long months and we will be in the year 2019. We'll be taking new resolutions, new promises, making new plans to become the best version of ourselves.
It's really great if you're doing all that because then you're much better and will surely be more successful than those who aren't even doing this. It's an entirely different thing that we hardly remain devoted to what we had imagined or planned.
Over the last 4-5 years. I have taken so many resolutions, so many promises to myself and my dear ones. But unfortunately, I didn't stick to a single resolution completely. Perhaps I am sure that if I had stuck to some of them, I would have totally been a much more successful and happier person than I am at present time. I am not very sure, but I think most of you can correlate yourself with the above case.
Alright, let us not waste our precious time thinking about the so-called biggest distraction - " THE PAST ".
So, wonderful people... are you thinking the same what I am? No, no I am not all saying you to prepare the long list of resolutions for 2019. Still, 4 months are there to make the best out of 2018 and eventually, it will contribute to " EXTRACTING THE BEST OUT OF LIFE "
So, taking it simple let me tell you 4 simple ways to follow and extract the best of what's left in 2018. I am not supposed to tell you the by default ways for success like waking up early, do some workout, be punctual, etc. They are so common and you all know them very well. Keep these 4 things in mind and follow them every single day in the coming 4 months. They'll make you a more self-disciplined, happier, more hardworking, and better version of yourself by the end of this year, due to which it'll be easier for you to stick to your 2019 resolutions.
BELOW ARE THE 4 EASY WAYS TO MAKE 2018 A REMARKABLE ONE :
1. Self Esteem :
In simple words, self-esteem is how we look at our-self. How can you expect others to love you, to respect you, to care for you when you yourself are not loving, respecting, and caring for yourself? How can you expect a happy life if you are not willing to take care of yourself only? If you'll not raise yourself even in your sight how'll you be raised in front of the world? For everyone out there, you all are very handsome, you all are so beautiful, you all can achieve what you dream. Just raise yourself in your sight only, that will contribute a lot to your success and you'll be raised for the world too.
2. Use mobiles but don't let them use you :
How many hours do we spend on mobile phones in a week on average? Ask yourself the same question and you'll get the answer, which will somehow surprise you. I am not saying at all to quit all those Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. I know it is not practical. Even I am in a dilemma that do I need to give up on all these for the next one and a half years to get an All India Rank under 100 in GATE 2020?
Let's come to the main topic.
If we are liking the posts of our friends on Facebook and Instagram, if we are looking for some kind of relevant material out there, if we are watching some YouTube videos for the entertainment or knowledge point of view ( like BB, TEDx, etc ). It will hardly take half an hour or 45 minutes for it. And there's nothing much wrong with it.
But what we actually do is pick up the phone again and again in every 15-20 minutes, checking the news feed, again and again, watching the same useless YouTube videos. 1st, then 2nd, then 3rd... then 10th. ( If it's exceeding 10th then you really need to get on the track and mind it, it is going to be really tough for you ). We can't even imagine, how many hours we are ruining each day due to this. Most of the time we know and our minds also don't allow us to do it but still, we do it because we are addicted towards it.
We really need to get out of this and again saying there's nothing wrong with fb , insta , youtube . Only problem we have is the lack of self-discipline and lack of self-control. Practice them and you'll easily get over it.
3. TAKE REGULAR BREAKS, BUT DON'T LET THEM BREAK YOUR LINK :
Say you woke up early morning, studied seriously hard for 4 hours. Then took a half an hour break and the next time you came to your study table was in the night or even the next morning.
What happened is, you made the half an hour break ... an 8-10 hour break. And how does it happen? It happens when we become so satisfied with our-self on studying for just 4 hours that we forget to come back and study more. Either we go out for chilling up with friends or hide in the huge mere of mobile phone or sleep like it's the 3'O clock in the night.
If you're thinking that 4 hours of study ( it's not only about studies, you can put anything here regarding your field ) is sufficient then you're wrong. You won't get anything big with these 4 hours only.
Hence either don't take breaks in between but that will be tough for you. So, change the things or activities you do in your break time. Do anything which doesn't totally distract you from your goal. And eventually, learn to be more self-disciplined, it won't allow you to distract much.
4. GET OVER UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS :
There is nothing more distracting and saddening than unhealthy relationships. It can be any kind of relationship, either with your family, your partner, your friends, or colleagues. But you all know it well that the relationship with our partners ie between a boyfriend-girlfriend is mostly unhealthy. But for now, if you're in an unhealthy relationship and you also have some serious major lifelong goals ( I'll repeat - some serious, major lifelong goals ) with the same partner. Then either fix it or give up on it.
The point is if you can't break the relationship, then fix it anyhow and if you can't fix it, give up on it as soon as possible. But don't live in an unhealthy relationship. It will badly affect you everywhere and will never let you be happy.
