  Every January 1st, we say new year, new me, but by January
• 0:07
  10th, we already back to the world ways, isn't it?
• 0:11
  Yeah, as the title says, rituals over resolutions.
• 0:18
  Hello, everyone. Welcome back to my podcast.
• 0:21
  I am Doctor Mukund. Let's dive into this episode.
• 0:27
  What do you I mean by rituals? Rituals are nothing but the
• 0:30
  daily habits micro habits that we do on every single day
• 0:35
  subconsciously, something like that or every single thing we
• 0:42
  choose to do right. So let me share you a little
• 0:50
  story about how daily routines helped me build this podcast.
• 0:57
  I will write or my body and my rider schedule, being a doctor,
• 1:02
  everything else. So yes, here it is.
• 1:12
  So every single day, if I want to, for example, let us just say
• 1:18
  I want to record this podcast, right?
• 1:23
  I'll hold certain amount of time.
• 1:25
  I'll block my schedule for particularly recording a
• 1:29
  podcast. Let's just say on every
• 1:33
  Saturday, I'm going to record this and then I'm going to
• 1:36
  schedule it. Before doing that, I'm going to
• 1:39
  prepare everything that I need to speak in the podcast.
• 1:44
  That's, you know, no BS and only what is really helpful in the
• 1:51
  real world situations. So I don't go deep dive into,
• 1:56
  you know, scientific parts and stuff because I know for most
• 1:59
  people it will pour them off within few minutes.
• 2:03
  So I just like to keep it crisp and short, like somewhere around
• 2:08
  10 to 15 minutes maximum. Maybe if some topics requires
• 2:14
  more than 30 minutes to one hour, then I'll go deep down
• 2:19
  into it. But on an average, I try to keep
• 2:22
  it somewhere around 10 to 15 minutes, let's just say.
• 2:27
  So from Monday to Friday, I'm gonna think about every like in
• 2:35
  a day, I give myself like 20 to 30 minutes to think about what I
• 2:41
  need to say. And that would correlate with
• 2:44
  the real world right now, right? And then by the Saturday, I
• 2:50
  would have filtered out all the necessary things and all the
• 2:54
  unnecessary things. So all the unnecessary, I mean,
• 2:58
  less important at that point of time, I will keep them aside and
• 3:03
  then focus on only the real things that I need to speak.
• 3:09
  And then on Saturday evenings, I do the recording and schedule it
• 3:14
  up for to go live in the future. So that's how I build a system
• 3:24
  that's gonna help me without burning out myself and using too
• 3:30
  much time to think, think, think and no little progress.
• 3:34
  To avoid all those things, I only give myself particular
• 3:38
  amount of time to finish it no matter what and then move on
• 3:44
  South. Let me tell you the difference
• 3:45
  between a ritual or a habit and a resolution.
• 3:50
  Basically we go with the resolutions.
• 3:52
  Most people because they focus on the outcome based 1.
• 3:58
  So they are like, for example, let us just say I want to reduce
• 4:02
  10 kilos of weight and they will take a resolution on sounds or
• 4:09
  but they don't change anything in their regular lifestyle,
• 4:14
  which keeps them the same number matter what they do.
• 4:18
  But what do I mean by ritual or changing a little habits?
• 4:22
  You know, you focus on doing things that actually brings that
• 4:27
  outcome. Like for example, if I want to
• 4:29
  lose 10 KGS of weight and every morning I go for morning walk or
• 4:37
  exercise or do something that is going to burn fat that directly
• 4:44
  correlates somewhere in the future for the reduction of
• 4:48
  weight, something like that. So yes, micro rituals that
• 4:54
  actually really really matters. I mean micro habits.
• 5:00
  So in order to change certain things in your day-to-day life
• 5:06
  you have to just sit down with yourself and think what is your
• 5:11
  daily and why are you doing those things and who you are
• 5:16
  becoming everyday by doing those things.
• 5:19
  If you get that answer it is very easy to change how to build
• 5:24
  sustainable rituals or habits. You just need to start very,
• 5:28
  very small and slowly you have to stack it up and you have to
• 5:33
  make it a habit. After certain time it becomes a
• 5:36
  habit and if you continue to do it, it becomes subconsciously
• 5:44
  who you are and what you do on a daily basis.
• 5:46
  That keeps you in, that keeps you towards reaching your goal.
• 5:57
  So that is why you need to have you need to build micro habits
• 6:02
  in order to achieve anything in life.
• 6:05
  So trust me and believe me on that you cannot build everything
• 6:09
  in one day but at least you can change something in a day.
• 6:15
  And that just starts with changing one small thing at a
• 6:20
  time and over the period of time it compounds and you will
• 6:24
  eventually see the results of what I am trying to say.
• 6:28
  So this is the thing, the key here is to keep consistent with
• 6:33
  your habits and keep on moving with positive attitude.
• 6:40
  So once you get or once you make that system to your body,
• 6:46
  everything is possible, not just losing weight.
• 6:49
  Anything you want to achieve in life, write it down.
• 6:52
  Do one change, one small thing from your regular life towards
• 6:55
  achieving that goal and in order to get to where you want to be
• 7:04
  in life. So all these things are
• 7:06
  achievable as in the beginning it is impossible to change
• 7:11
  because mentally, physically you struggle a lot.
• 7:14
  That's the part of the process and we all go through that.
• 7:18
  There are no shortcuts. So absolutely, that's why
• 7:22
  rituals or micro habits are very, very important for us in
• 7:27
  order to change our life to get what we want to achieve.
• 7:35
  So power tip, attach your ritual to something very meaningful so
• 7:43
  that you will feel you know this is what you want in life and you
• 7:50
  always remind yourself so that you will be very consistent with
• 7:54
  your actions and that your rituals are your real legacy in
• 8:02
  coming time. Because we all get caught up in
• 8:08
  this chaos at some point of time and we even forward what we
• 8:13
  started so and so in the 1st place.
• 8:17
  So I suggest everyone to write it down, make a progress
• 8:21
  tracking Excel sheet or something that works for you and
• 8:29
  tick it off every single day if you follow it.
• 8:33
  And while doing it, be very, very mindful of it.
• 8:36
  You don't need to cheat or you not need to.
• 8:39
  You know, some days we all skip, that's fine.
• 8:42
  But you don't need to cheat yourself or say even though you
• 8:45
  skipped it, you checked it as you did it.
• 8:48
  You don't need to do all those things.
• 8:50
  Just be brutally honest with yourselves and if you did it
• 8:54
  then yes. If you didn't, then write it
• 8:56
  down why you didn't. So that helps you to come back
• 8:59
  on track at least majorly focus on the efforts rather than
• 9:05
  completely focusing on the outcome.
• 9:08
  So that helps you in many, many ways to achieve whatever you
• 9:12
  want in life. But absolutely everything will
• 9:14
  takes time, not yet you can build on one day because every
• 9:22
  good things takes really a good amount of time to become a
• 9:26
  habit. So that's all from me.
• 9:30
  I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
• 9:34
  So start small every single day, incorporate in your lifestyle
• 9:39
  and see how your life changes over period of time.
• 9:43
  You will be even amazed how did you get from XYZ point to now?
• 9:51
  And that's what I call a ritual that helps you to build your own
• 9:56
  legacy. I hope you all got some value
• 10:00
  from this episode. So follow your rituals one small
• 10:04
  thing at a time or build your micro habits one small thing at
• 10:08
  a time and see the magic of your own habits.
• 10:16
  All right. And this is where most people
• 10:20
  messes up. And if you are messed up in your
• 10:24
  life and if you look at your own habits, it says everything about
• 10:30
  you. For example, you look overweight
• 10:34
  and that comes down to you do not have any certain planned
• 10:42
  meals or mindless eating. Stuff like that comes into play
• 10:48
  that you are overweight at this point of time or you were not
• 10:52
  able to achieve what you want to achieve because you did not keep
• 10:56
  the necessary efforts towards your achievements.
• 11:01
  So again it comes back to the micro habits that you do on
• 11:06
  regular basis. So keep that in mind and I hope
• 11:11
  you learnt something from this episode.
• 11:15
  So try being consistent as much as you can.
• 11:22
  Even though some days you won't feel like it, that's absolutely
• 11:26
  fine. Don't worry about those few
• 11:28
  days. But most of the days, try to be
• 11:31
  very, very consistent and don't be too much hard on on yourself
• 11:37
  from day one, but slowly walk towards it.
• 11:42
  That will definitely help you in many, many ways so that it will
• 11:46
  be very much sustainable in long term and you will not even feel
• 11:53
  burdened by your own progress. So yes.
• 12:01

• 12:05
