Tools - practices you can use daily to transform your life

In my last blog I spoke about the correlation between getting financially rich and spiritually rich and the compounding effect some practices can have on our lives.

If you haven’t read it, read it here before you proceed.

I mentioned in that post that there are some practices, when done regularly, like compound interest is for investing, snowball and help us win the spiritual lottery and help immensely on the path of spiritual growth. Warren Buffet was able to compound majority of his wealth after retirement. Can you imagine how much the world and him would have lost had he decided to stop investing and give up at the age of 50 ?? Moral of the story - Consistency!! 

This chart shows how Warren Buffets wealth compounded over the years!

If you want your financial and spiritual wealth to compound like that - you need to start now!! (Am speaking of compounding only spiritual wealth in this post)

I have split these into “Doing” practices and “Being” states. Both these aspects are important in life.

Often we focus only on what we need to DO to get somewhere. We love our “to-do” lists, they give us a sense of purpose and achievement.

However what we forget to focus on is what we need to “BE” while we are doing what we need to “DO”. After all we are called Human BEINGS for a reason!!

You can complete the 5 meetings and the 10 calls you have scheduled for the day. But are you “BEING” centred and effective while you are DOING those meetings?

You can quit your job and spend the whole day with your kids, DO a lot of activities with them, but are you BEING happy and content doing that, or are you feeling like a martyr who has sacrificed her own dreams for the sake of her children and is BEING unhappy, resentful and frustrated ??

To focus on BEING something, is also one of the key ways to create lasting change in your life.

In the doing way – you would say  “I haven’t smoked a cigarette in 30 days, 5 hours and 2 minutes.”

You know the change will last when you say = “I am a non-smoker”. 
When you identify yourself with the “label” as a way of being, the change you are trying to make, usually lasts.

So here are the Doing and Being practices : 
The keys to unlock abundant spiritual wealth for yourself 

Doing practices

      1.    Having a daily practice of gratitude, meditation or mindfulness

2.    Incorporating some sort of physical exercise into your day - specially Yoga

3.    Eating healthy nutritious food

4.    Spending time with nature

5.    Spending more time with the trees and mountains and lesser time in malls when you travel

6.    Walking barefoot on the beach or garden – connecting with the earth energy

7.    Reading/watching inspiring books and videos

8.    Meeting/Being with people who inspire and uplift you 

9.    Doing something out of your comfort zone - constantly.

10. Physically De-cluttering a corner of your house or workspace

11. Emotional De-cluttering - Consciously forgiving someone everyday –very powerful,  highly recommended

12. Singing /Dancing/Chanting/laughing (all highly energising activities)

13. Social service or random acts of kindness. Working for a cause bigger than yourself.

14. Avoiding situations/ people that deplete you of energy

15. Not accepting invitations to every argument/conflict you are invited to. Smiling and moving on

16. Spending some time in deliberate silence

Being states

   

   1)   Being self – aware (aware of your beliefs, values, attitudes)

   2)   Practising self-Love - saying yes to yourself

   3)   Being centred in all situations – in the present moment.

   4)   Being intuitive (this also comes from meditating and being self-aware)

   5)   Being happy

   6)   Being grateful

   7)   Being your authentic self

Try whichever of these or as many of these, as appeal to you and see yourself inviting more Satori moments in your life.

Welcome your thoughts/experiences/comments/feedback.

Lots of Love
