In this video, I'm going to share with you the 12 simple life lessons which I learned through my own transformation How did I go from being here to here in just matter of last, uh, 6 to 7 or 8 years' time? Yes, are you interested? So let's get started with this today's video. So in this video, what I'm going to share it with you is I'm going to share it with you 12 simple formulas which I used on myself, which I'm going to share it with you right now. I want you to note down and start implementing these things, and this would change your life. I am the example. If I can do it, Everyone in this, um, everyone who's watching this also can do it. And also watch this video till the end and I have an amazing gift for you and you will love that gift. Yes. So let's get started. The first and foremost thing when I, what I did with my own self is, so I always used to put myself as a last. So the first principle which I used is prioritizing myself all the time. I used to prioritize my work. My growing my money or my family, my business and all of that. Over a period of time, what I was done is I was deteriorating myself. I was not having a time for myself. I always used to keep giving excuses to myself and being lethargic. The moment I started prioritizing me as a first, I started seeing every single else started changing. So when I say prioritizing myself, so there are 4 things required for you to prioritize anything. So what is it? You need to allocate the time, you need to invest the money on yourself, and you need to have a focus, and also you need to have a space. By using this technique, I started focusing on improving my health, and I started changing my— some of the habits, and I started saying no to the things which is not aligning with me. Okay, so that is the first step. I want you to prioritize yourself as a first and foremost thing in your life. The moment you can have yourself fully fit and healthy, every single thing will automatically fall. The simple, um, the tip, tip number 2, it is very easy and simple and it is very, very, uh, free. You don't need to spend anything out of this. Hydrating your body every single day. Your body is meant with 70% of your body is water, and that, and you hydrating well, have more energy, and also the whole process of detoxification in your body happens so smooth and amazingly. This could be the one of the reason you will also see the better health over a period of a time, and also it can help you in the reverse aging. Yes, so I wanted to drink water properly. So what I did from last 5 to 6 years, every single day I was consistently drinking 3 to 4 or 5 liters of water, depends on the thirst and depends on my own hydration levels. So that is helped me a big time in my energy, in my focus, and the way I carry myself. Yes, the secret number, the tip number 3 is focusing on prioritizing your sleep. I always used to prioritize entertainment and pushing myself to the bigger limit and not focusing on prioritizing myself as resting my body and recovering well. And I used to even do the long hours of parties in the chess make in the sense of entertainment. And I used to have every single day, because of the digitalization, social media, and I used to watch almost like there is no proper pattern. I used to sleep in odd times and get up in odd times. That was the biggest shift I bought in. So I had consistent sleeping timings, and I made sure that I sleep at least 6.5 hours every single day. But if you really want to improve your overall health and also you want to feel more anger and energetic, the sleep is the most fundamental thing you need to fix it. At least sleep 6 to 8 hours every single day. Yes, this is the third important principle which I use in my life. The fourth important thing is managing your stress, managing how you can manage your emotions and how you can manage your stress. So this is one of the— been the biggest thing. And I used to do some of the techniques like deep breathing and meditating and mindfulness practices like Putting your music and just listening. And I have a lot of mentors who helped me in this. I really wanted to thank them. The first person who introduced is Isha Sadhguru. And also after that, I used to do Sunya practice. There is a practice I used to start practicing it. And then also Jay Shetty and Rob Dial Jr. and so many other mentors, Vishen Lekhiani, all these people. I learned how to meditate and how I can calm myself. So one of the biggest thing, you know, your health is deteriorating and you are aging faster is stress. And I want you to start focusing on it every time you feel stressed. So do this, either deep breathing for 90 seconds. I have posted some of the deep breathing techniques in my previous videos. You can go and check it out. Or you can also do a meditation, a calm, a calm, 2 minutes to calm meditation, which I also posted. The link is there in this particular link. You can go and check my previous videos where you find it. So managing stress is the most fundamental thing to improve your health and also to age slowly. Okay, that is step number 4 which I followed. Step number 5 is being active throughout the day, being active throughout the day. So that means what I have done from last 4 and a half to 5 years, if I see my average steps has always been 7,000 most of the times. Why we are not— our body is not getting enough activity. That could be also one of the reason why your body having the less energy, which is indirectly causing you to age faster. So when you exercise, when you move, when you move more, you generate energy in cells, which is making sure that health of your cells are optimal, which will help you to grow slower. Okay, that is step number 5. Always make sure that you move more, have active lifestyle. And also have included one more thing. One of the biggest thing which has changed is I used to walk almost like every 2 hours. I used to have a Still, I have that reminder in my mobile. I go for at least 1 to 2 minutes walk or a 5 minutes walk, and I make sure that I hit 7K steps on an average. Okay, that was the step number 5. The step number 6 is I consistently worked on, um, working out on my resistance training. I initially, I used to do 1.5, but now I've been very regular. The minimum dose, at least 10 to 15 minutes, 3 days a week is a must. I am following this from more than 2 and a half to, I think, yeah, 4 years on and off. But I have been consistently working out because the more muscle mass you have, the more younger you look. So I want you to include exercising every single day as part of your lifestyle. If you want to, uh, how you can exercise, you don't have a lot of things about it. I do something like a daily warrior practice where we're going to exercise 7 to 12 minutes is where you're going to exercise. That's all you need. To maintain your muscle mass and also build the muscles over a period of time. So what is most important is we always think that I don't have time for gym, I don't have time for exercise, I need 45 minutes of time, and you're doing nothing. Instead of doing nothing, even a 10 to 15 minutes of a workout consistently you do over a period of time, you will see eventually greater results. That is what I did in my own. So I initially used to go for a gym, but because of later point of time I could not able to do it, then I stick to with the home routine. That is also bodyweight workouts. I I used to do 3 times a week for 15 to 20 minutes. That's all you need. So if you really wanted to be part of it, the link is there in the below description. I charge only ₹1,000 for the whole 30 days. You can work out with me and we can live— I will hold you accountable and you— we all work out together. Uh, this, if you're really interested, the link is there. I want you to see you inside my Daily Warrior practice. That is tip number 6. Exercise. So do a strength training at least 3 to 5 days, 3 to 5 times a week, and keep working on building your muscle. The more muscle, the more younger you look. Good. The point number 7, the step number 7 is eating enough protein every single day. The protein is the most essential macronutrients which takes care of your body and your health and also your muscles. So if you really want to hold your muscles, this is one of the things which I've been doing it from last 4 years nonstop. 1 gram of your body weight all the time. That means, for example, if my weight was around 80 kgs, I minimum eat 80 grams of protein. If I'm including any workout as part of my routine, I take that to 100 to 120. That means 1.2 to 1.5 grams into your body weight. So the protein is very fundamental. For building your muscles and maintaining your muscles, and also for your overall health. So, and also it will help you to satiety level, and also it will improve— the more muscle you have, the better muscle, um, your bone density, and a lot of other things are there. This is another thing which I consistently followed. Even today I follow hitting at least minimum protein every single day. Okay, the tip number 8 is focusing on my emotional health. Focusing on my emotional health. I spent so much of time to understand how our emotions— and during my whole process, I found a system which is called as a habit system, which will help you to build your own personalized blueprint. And in this routine, what I found when I did the research is your emotions are the ones which dictates your actions. Your emotions are the ones which dictates the results. So I was able to understand what is emotional state. I was able to understand what emotions I'm carrying, and I mastered that by practicing some of the rituals which helped me to be more aware about my emotions. And I'm able to take a proper action, uh, take a proper action whenever I feel into that emotional stress or emotional trauma or anything which used to happen. I used to know how to catch hold of that and how I can shift it by using some of the modalities. So emotional health will definitely impact the way you progress into your life, especially into your health. And emotional health was one of the most important things which has also helped me during my whole journey. The way I speak to myself, the way I focus on myself, the way I am, the things which I'm consuming. Every single time there is amazing prayer you can also use. It's called as a Ho'oponopono prayer, which I used most of the time. And it's 4 sentences: I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you. Every single time there is a negative emotion comes, I catch hold of and I keep affirming it, and I keep moving forward to what exactly I wanted to focus. My focus was always on to what exactly the emotion which I really want in my life. Okay, so that is the 8th step. The 9th step, this was the biggest thing, is investing on my personal growth. So every single time I was failing on something around my health, I started investing and learning skills. Today I will tell you proudly that I have invested more than ₹60 lakh, on more than that, on my own personal growth. I from completing the Complete and Nutritional Science and Fitness Personal Trainer course as well as whole fitness coaching course. And also I did the Mind Body Transformation, how you can do it, and Hollow Body. And I was a part of Mindvalley. I learned about a lot of things about psychological aspects and how we take some kind of decisions and some kind of things. The biggest thing what happened is every single time I learn and implement, it gives me a boost. And also the same time I used to start teaching as well. So this made a kind of a cycle, which is one of my mentor calls as a golden circle, which is learning, implementing, and teaching at the same time. So that is what I did. And I will proudly say right now that I'm a certified healer, certified NLP practitioner, certified life coach, certified health coach, and certified fitness coach. And not only that, I'm still learning. I'm, I'm learning a new skill of how your writing can impact your overall health. I'm learning right now. And also I'm learning becoming a Reiki healer, and also I'm also a Ho'oponopono healer, certified Ho'oponopono healer. I'm right now learning different modalities and understanding how all these modalities link to you being holistically healthy. So that is what I'm doing. And your personal growth, investing on your personal growth, understanding how your body works is one of the biggest shifts. Every single time I go and take my choices, my actions, my options, what I choose, has been improved a lot. So this is the step number 9. The step number 10 is always associating with the right-minded positive people, so a goal-oriented people, okay? The Golden Circle, I call it as. So these people help me because your environment takes major chunk in your progress of your life. So I made sure that cut off some of the things which is not doing anything, any good to in my life, and also I started adding some people who are actually doing great in my life by using this. So this is one of the biggest thing which happened in my life that I was able to— they were able to impact me one or other way in my own progress. So always I will tell you to be with amazing community. If you really want to be part of my community, I'm building a community of with the parents who are all are focusing on being fit, not only physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. You can join. The link is there in the below. And the first level is called a SuperFit Challenge. That is a 30-day challenge you can join. Let's all together build this holistic health for the rest of your life. So this was one of the biggest things I have networked. I have attended more than 10 to 15, almost like every week there is some kind of a networking event I'm part of. I'm part of a mastermind. I'm part of the people. And I have same kind of goal-oriented people in my life where we always exchange the same energy. That will also help you. To boost your energy, always stay with your positive state. Okay, the 11th important point which I really want to add, I think this is one of the biggest shift which happened, is I started working on my own past traumas. So there are so many traumas I've been carrying from my childhood, even from my workspace, in my, my family life, my relationships. I started healing every single past trauma which has helped me to come out of that resentment, come out of that pain, come out of that suffering, come out of that unknown stress which I'm carrying, and unknown things I'm repeating repeatedly, experiencing in my life, has completely gone by just doing this. So this has also helped. I want you to focus on healing your past trauma because there is some kind of emotional baggage you've been carrying because of the past incidents which you did not work on healing them. So I want you to focus on healing. So this was the biggest part of the shift happened in my own life. And the last but not the least is always focus on all 4 areas. This was the biggest learning from my mentor. His name is Mitesh Katri. Um, what I learned is it's not about only health. Focus on all other areas because all of them works hand in hand. Your health, your relationships, your career, and your money, all these things are interrelated. If one area goes down, you sacrifice other area. So I used to sacrifice only on business then business, business only on career, then I leave everything. If the family, only family, I used to leave everything. So you, you, you need to have a balance in all the 4 areas of my life. The moment I started focusing on my health became by default state, my routine and habits became a default state. So this is the 12th step, uh, 12th lesson which I learned is focusing on all the 4 areas of your life and maintain it. And there's one more amazing saying which I want to tell you is you will experience negative emotions, you will experience the failures, you will go through the challenges in your life, but only remember one thing: everything in your life is a blessing. I want to repeat this one more time: everything is a blessing. This was a default statement every single time I say to myself. If the things go my way, things doesn't go my way, there's challenges comes in my way, challenges doesn't come in my way, it doesn't matter. Everything is a blessing. There's someone from up, the universe is always taking care and you came here to serve some purpose. And go through the journey, go through that pain, all that low and high moments. That's where your real transformation happens. So this is what I did. These are the 12 steps. What is step 1? Prioritizing yourself. Step 2, hydrating well. Step 3, managing, uh, your sleep. Step 4, managing your stress. Step 5 is at least moving more, 7,000 steps every single day. Step 6, at least working out 3 to 5 days focusing on your strength and muscle building. Step 6 is prioritizing your protein. Step 7 is focusing on, uh, emotional health. And, uh, step 8— I think step 8 is focusing on emotional health. Step 9 is investing on your personal growth. Step 10 is associating with like-minded, positive people. And step 10 Step 11 is focusing on healing your past traumas, and Step 12 is focusing on all the areas of your life.
