Megaliving All 30 Days complete!!!

February 6, 2008 · 5 Comments

I completed my Megaliving 30 day program yesterday! Life has really transformed. I have grown by leaps and bounds. This is the happiest I have been in the last 3 years! :) . I can feel myself growing above my moods and circumstances.

It was a tough journey. I stuck to it with discipline. And I have got the fruits.

I would like to write a lot about my journey in the coming posts, but here is a quick list of a few things that I have achieved :-

  • I eat 3 times every day. Feel very energized and upbeat!
  • I exercise 5 days a week, have built a decent endurance and can feel my abs hardening
  • I meditate regularly and my focus levels have gone up several times.
  • Its pretty easy for me to persevere these days as I don’t get distracted easily.
  • I have built amazing discipline. And I enjoy it :)
  • My pimples have disappeared and my dandruff has reduced
  • I get very very few negative thoughts every day and I am quick to challenge and dispel them.
  • My will power has increased significantly
  • My memory has improved.
  • I have started remembering routes to various places and names of people.
  • I am literally upset-free. (this credit I’ll give to Landmark Education though)
  • I keep my room neat and tidy.
  • I feel so good that I never feel like being in disheveled clothes. I am almost always clean-shaved. And I do so not for the people looking at me, I do so because I feel like it.
  • I have started waking up early morning. Thanks to Soniya for this.
  • I have become very good at practicing commitment over attachment.
  • I have really started living a life of no pretense! It used to be very confronting, but now I must say, I have overcome the tough phase and am enjoying the fruits.
  • I managed to read 6 books in January. Overshooting my target by 1 book.
  • I eat fruits regularly and am noticing their effect in my skin and body.
  • I have built this habit of “kaizen”. Pushing myself without taking stress :) .
  • I have grown by leaps and bounds.
  • The list goes on… Thanks Mr. Sharma

There are a few things that I could not achieve, the prominent one being my 1000$ target. But the kind of guy I am now, I just wanna learn from it and move on. My targets for April and July stay as stated earlier. I also did not complete my handwriting analysis website. Primarily because I was focusing on other strategies to meet my targets. And something tells me, I’ll meet them this time.

Not to mention, I will continue to MegaLive each day from now on. In fact today was better than any of the previous 30 days. Today was way above them all. :D

My Daily Routine

January 14, 2008 · 3 Comments

Wow, writing things down in a blog really helps :)

Soon after I wrote the habits I am taking on, I realized that I gotta do a reality check of my current standing. Looks like, I was again in wonderland… I had thought that I had been doing pretty well with a good amount of discipline. But thanks, I have come back to reality again.

Now, 1 complain about Robin Sharma (whose work I had been resisting a bit). He says that you just gotta give 15 mins of your time daily to the program. But with his all new exercises increasing day by day, I guess I need 2-3 hours to do them properly everyday as of today (day 8) and would require about 5 hours a day after another 20 days. I am finding this Megaliving thing highly confronting. And I guess the sheer reason that I am still following it to the best of my capabilities is that I feel its testing the best of me. Besides I know that if I can do this thing “the way it is meant to be done”, I will never ever complain about my being indisciplined or lazy. And yes I am seeing some results coming too.

1 reason why I resist Robin’s work is because I don’t want to use some techniques to transform my life. Self realization is a beautiful blissful process. But after really confronting it and questioning myself, I realized that I am fine with using techniques or whatever it takes to get what I want in life. Its the fear of people saying “abe oye! you used all these techniques to succeed” that was stopping me. But as I said, I have taken on becoming independent of peoples’ opinions while still being attentive to them.

So here is my daily routine:-

(Mind you, there are a lot of things that I have inserted because I liked doing them on my own, besides Megaliving’s influence)
