Avi Arya keeps his meditation practice going across time zones by staying accountable to the Neville Supermind community, a network of high performers. He treats meditation as non-negotiable, viewing any missed day as lost credibility with his peers. Surrounding yourself with stronger people creates the pressure needed to stay consistent.
So I wanted to ask, since you know you travel so much and there's also time zone and you're traveling different countries, how do you manage your morning mindset routine? Because sometimes you could be in a flight, sometimes you could be somewhere else. So how do you manage that morning meditation while you're all across traveling, that routine?
So firstly, especially for the meditation where I told you it comes from Neville Supermind, and those people are really— I'm finding a new brotherhood with a new set of very successful people. So when you work with very successful people, you don't want to be the only person who's not, you know, doing well and not reporting back properly. So I've always, always put myself— when I spoke about, you know, meeting all these kind of people, I always try to put myself in a group of people who are way ahead of me. And then I don't want to lose when I'm in that company, that, you know, oh, I had a drink last night, or I can't— like, even one day I haven't missed in this whole year. Because tomorrow, when I spoke to him, or I had that podcast with those guys, I said I haven't missed even one day. Like, how can I say that? And if I do, they'll be like, he's not the same level. So I don't want to feel— I want to feel strong in front of stronger people, you know. So that's my drive. It's always a sankalp. So I'm in my head, I'm accountable that one day somebody's going to ask me and I'm going to be like zero days off. So for me to be able to say that, I be like, yaar, aadhaar aaj bodo. So that way. But it's difficult on a flight. But today flights also have very decent.
