Why do we hesitate doing some things when we know that they are very good for us? For example..Exercise! Everybody knows that regular workout keeps you healthy and fresh, then why don't we do that? I am trying to find this answer since like forever (and also trying to start working out ;)) but I've still not found it.
Exercise is just one single things of my humongous "things-to-do-regularly" list. I honestly tell you that every year I carry a same list of "new-year-resolutions" and I have never followed even a single of them. The list keeps growing on and on. The same 'wont-bite-my-nails-ever-again' and 'drink-4-liters-of-water-every-day' and 'call-up-my-folks-every-day' things are there on my resolution list every year.
And on the contrary, why do we do some things religiously when we know that there’s nothing good coming out of it? Like watching TV like crazy.. or keep eating chocolate chip cookies one after the other? or find different ways to simply waste your time...
There’s very powerful thing called 'mind' which controls this! yeah yeah..we all know if-you-can-dream-it-you-can-do-it and mind-power fundas.. but lets just think..why cant we control our own mind? why do we need to push so hard to do a small thing against our will? If we can control all our actions (and many a times those of others too!), then why cant our own minds?
Probably because we spend more time thinking about the world than ourselves...or probably because we have lost the power to listen to our own voice in all the chaos..(or probably we are just lazy..true for me at least :S) We know that those who can control their minds are called saints and sages..but are they really different from us? Can’t a normal person like you and me control their own mind? when we think of changing the world and bringing a revolution..cant we start from changing ourselves?
We have to start some time..and for me..let the time be now!! (I had read in some self motivation or blah blah book..that if you make a public commitment, you tend to be honest with what you say and try with all your best to achieve it) So here I go...
I promise to myself that I am going to spend at least 2 hours of the day just with myself!
I promise that I'm going to do exercise every single day.
I promise that I'm going to take good care of my health.
I promise that I'm going to utilize my time in productive things.
I promise that I'm going to prepare for my GMAT everyday.
huff...feels light... (Or may be too heavy..that I need to do all these things everyday..than to recline on a sofa..watching 'friends' episodes n'th time.)
But yess..I'm going to do it!! And I'll definitely keep you posted about my progress!!
So till next time - Take care and have fun!!
