Lately, there have been multiple videos▶️ making rounds on the internet about self-improvement. The one common advice across these videos is to wake up and go to bed early, eat home-cooked meals, and be consistent with your efforts.
Similarly, I can recall another time when I met a friend last month, one of her family members was having some lung issues due to smoking. Doctor asked him to quit smoking and perform breathing exercises🧘🏻♀️.
One such incident is when I had a dental issue, and dentist emphasized on the importance of brushing my teeth🦷✨ before going to bed.
What message do these situations communicate?
In childhood, our school told us to have a habit chart📃 that lists essential habits everyone should incorporate into their daily routine. As we grow older, we tend to forget the habits we learned in childhood. Our sleep schedules shift🥱, physical activity levels change, and other factors come into play. In adulthood, basic tasks can become more complex, making it harder to maintain fundamental habits that are crucial for our well-being.
As we reach in college, waking up till late night and having junk is considered cool. Later in job we face some issues like back-pain for prolonged sitting hours, cavities, dark circles for quite some obvious reasons despite being aware of all known causes. Over time, we’ve become more aware of our choices and are striving to return to the fundamental habits we learned in childhood, such as discipline, have home cooked food, exercise and going to bed early, among others.
Preparing for exams can be an anxious😫 process during exam time, but if we study consistently throughout the year, covering the syllabus efficiently and on time can become much easier.
All these are very basic things and we all knew about them since childhood but in middle we somewhat get distracted. To live a healthy and peaceful life, we don’t need to accomplish extraordinary feats🥸, but rather focus on adhering to basic principles🤏.
