Lead life with Infinite Mindset

Need of adopting an Infinite Mindset

One thing which I have started doing differently is constantly making an effort to lead life with an infinite mindset.

Adoption of such a mindset makes us forget about competition and helps us focus on making ourselves a better version by the day.

Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game, enlightens us on the need to approach the game of life with such a mindset. He argues that winning does not matter in life or business, our goal should be to keep playing the game of life with an abundance mentality.

Focus Only on the Present

Why FOCUS only on the Present?

To lead a quality life free of stress and anxiety we need to focus only on the present. This is what the blog post would focus on.

The practice of Karma Yoga that finds a mention in Bhagavad Gita focuses on the same topic and has been highlighted in this blog post.

The book Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is an absolute masterclass which has taught me the virtues of focusing on the now. Highlighted below is an inspiring quote from the book.

To understand the benefits of focusing on the now we need to practice the act of gratitude more frequently.

Mindfulness as a Gift

Why is mindfulness the greatest gift?

If I could get a present of my wish, I would long for mindfulness as a gift.

Mindfulness is focusing on the present moment forgetting about regrets of the past or worry about the future.

Focusing on the present is an extremely challenging task since our mind has to be tuned for focusing on the present moment.

Focusing on the present moment improves our immunity system and relieves us from stress and anxiety.

To know how mindfulness is the director of the brain, read this insight inspired from David Rock’s book Your Brain at Work.

The Need for Mouse Book Clubs

Why do we need more Mouse Book Clubs?

The need for more mouse book clubs emanates from their novel idea around smartphone size booklets to serve as an antidote for cell phone addiction.

The idea of replacing smartphone time with time spent in reading books was revolutionary at the time. Similar concepts that can help reduce screen time of modern digital users can go a long way in leading to a balanced and fulfilling life.

Shown below is the snapshot with the details around the concept of this book club.

Good Relationships like Seat Belts

Aren’t good relationships like seat belts?

I believe in hand picking a limited circle of friends and relationships since good relationships are like seat belts.

Wise people maintain a circle of safety of people whom they truly love and who care for them in return.
