From the book The man who sold his Ferrari – Robin Sarma
1.
Ritual
of solitude – Walk alone in natural surroundings at least for 15 min a day.
- Ritual of physicality – Practise yoga for at
least 5 Hrs a week.
- Ritual of Nourishment – Take fresh fruits and
vegetables to nourish your body.
- Ritual of abundant knowledge – Read something
that will improve both you and the quality of your life. You must be
selective about what you put into the lush garden of your mind.
- Ritual of personal reflection – List out all
activities that are done on that day and also the thoughts we had run
through the mind during that day. Figure out what is wrong and set about
making immediate improvement.
- Ritual of early awakening – Quality of sleep and
not the quantity of sleep is important. Never eat after 8.00 PM. Ten
minutes before sleep and ten minutes after waking up are profoundly
influential on our subconscious mind. Only the most inspiring and serene
thoughts should be programmed into your mind at those times. Also get the
happiness juices flowing from nature
early in the morning.
- Ritual of music – Listen to some soul filling
music.
- Ritual of spoken word. Tell positive affirmations
to yourself . Ex: “I am strong, able and calm. I am healthy, dynamic and
fully alive”. “ I am more than I appear to be, all the world’s strength
and power rests inside me”.
- Ritual of congruent character . Let us ensure
that all of our actions are
congruent and aligned with the principles of industry, compassion,
humility, patience, honesty and courage. Be guided by your heart. The rest
will take care of itself. You are never alone.
- Ritual of simplicity – Be
simple in all respects.
Time
mastery is life mastery. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
