In this episode of Creating Motivation Podcast Rohit and I talk about 4 things that you need to be doing regularly. These are things that you probably hear all the time that you should be doing and the reality is that well you should but for yourself not because we tell you to. The main key to all these things is consistency, this can be hard to achieve for a myriad of reasons but if you want it bad enough you will find a way to make it happen. We will be hitting on the topics of exercise, reading, meditation, and passions.

Exercise is important not just because you will look better but because you will feel better. Even for just fifteen minutes a day you will create a better healthier environment in your body so that you can thrive in your daily life. Working out does not have to look like the gym, you can workout at home or in nature, there are so many ways to get your body moving that all you need to do is put some effort into intentionally moving your body. To accomplish this goal you won’t need to drastically change your life right away, you can ease into it by taking little steps. Instead of driving to the closest parking spot park farther and walk. Instead of taking the elevator, take the stairs. These little things will lead to a dramatically different life.

Reading is an exercise for your mind. Important successful people in life say they read regularly. Even if you don’t enjoy reading you will gain so much by doing it anyway. Spend an hour each day reading and you will grow intellectually. After graduating high school about 87% of people will not read another book cover to cover. Currently, we get most of our intellect from television, we can’t control what we gain from television. Even if you’re watching a show about cheetahs you are still going to be seeing commercials about Cheetos. With reading, you control everything you gain, and it’s also free with a library card.

Meditation is easier than it looks, and there are many forms to meditate. you don’t need to be able to do the full lotus in order to meditate, you can sit and focus on breathing, you can sit staring at paint dry and be able to meditate. Meditation will help clear your mind, it increases oxygen, slows respiratory rate, increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and decreases stress. Meditation is not only good for having a better mindful day but also for better health.

Passion is crucial in your life, either by finding your own passions or exploring others. Passions and hobbies are all about creating, this gives you a sense of control when your life might be overwhelming or out of control. It’s refreshing to experience the passion and it will motivate you throughout the things you do.

These four things will help enhance your life if you do them regularly. Consistency is not easy but it’s possible if you want to change bad enough. Instead of watching a movie after work read a book and instead of the elevator take the stairs. Meditate when you wake up in the morning and explore your passions. Create yourself a better life.
