Treat Diet as a Doctor
Why should your Diet be Healthy?
In this blog post I would inspire you to treat your diet as your doctor. Gut health plays a very important role in our overall well being and hence the need to eat healthy in order to stay healthy.
Steve Jobs very rightly mentioned the following 6 as our best doctors. He also mentioned that if we do not treat diet as medicine very soon we may have to take medicine for diet.
- Sunshine
- Rest
- Self Confidence
- Friends
- Exercise &
- DIET
Whatever food I have, rest assured will be something that is healthy to the core. I consider Diet as one of my Doctors and hence Doctor Diet is one of my priorities.
Read this insightful post with some invaluable moments from Steve Jobs’ last memorable speech.

Blink Judgements Improve with Experience
How often do you take Blink Decisions?
Blink Judgements Improve with Experience and age as mentioned by Malcolm Gladwell in his book Blink.
I have had first hand experience of this fact from my life experience. Having noticed patterns I am able to take a lot of decisions in the blink of an eye and yet succeed. One such example is of choosing the locality where I live in.
Malcom Gladwell mentions the same concept in his best selling book titled Blink.
He argues that the power of snap judgements improve with age and experience since we are able to see more patterns.

Practice Karma Yoga
The Art of Karma Yoga
I am a firm believer of Karma and more so Karma Yoga. If you strive hard and do good work with the best of intentions, benefits of doing so, in some form and shape, will be visible sooner or later.
In the book The Power of Now, we are enlightened on this concept from Bhagavad Gita. Practicing Karma Yoga means doing work the best you can without being obsessed about results.
This not only helps you focus on the current moment, but also drives away and anxiety and fear from your lives, as mentioned below.

State of Flow is Self Care
Be in Full Flow for Self Care
The more you remain in the state of flow, the more you realize that it is self care. This is something I have realized ever since I got enlightened on the concept of Flow.
As mentioned in the iconic book Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, I have understood that the best tip to remain happy is to spend more time with self doing things that lead to fufillment.
These are moments when you remain focused on the present moment without worrying about the future or regretting the past.
As mentioned in this insight inspired from the book, these are the characteristics that enable flow in our lives thus ensuring self care.

The Power of Right Brain
Daily writing promptWhat’s one thing you wish you had started doing earlier in life?Do you practice Right Brain thinking?
The importance of the right brain is something I learnt at a late age. I wish I knew about this secret at an early age. This is because though most of us are left brain oriented with proper training and habit we can change our orientation.
The importance of Right Brain thinking was wonderfully illustrated by Dan Pink in his book A Whole New Mind.
He mentions at length about the following skills that would rule in the new age namely:
- Design
- Story
- Play
- Empathy
- Symphony
- Meaning
As you can see none of these skills can be replicated by an AI model and hence assume huge amount of significance in the modern era.
So if you are still young, this blog post should inspire you to start training your brain on these skills.
This insight shows how our brain has evolved over ages.

Feeling of Inferiority is Healthy
Feeling of Inferiority vs Inferiority Complex
Feeling of inferiority is indeed healthy and is a far cry from inferiority complex as mentioned in the book, The Courage to be Disliked.
Feeling of inferiority happens irrespective of competition when we try to make ourselves a better version everyday.
Hence this is healthy and should be encouraged for self improvement.
Inferiority complex happens only when we compare ourselves with others and ends up in anxiety.
As mentioned in this insight inspired from the same book, we need to encourage this feeling and not run away from it.
