I am trying to incorporate a run everyday.

Earlier I did this on a treadmill.

But outside running is completely different.

No head phones.

Just the present moment.

Feels amazing.

View of KL.

Beer flows, spring rolls crisp,
In Vietnam’s warm embrace,
Joy in every bite.

🧠 Discipline vs Motivation

All success stories have something in common: discipline.

Unlike motivation, discipline is the mental exercise of doing what needs to be done, even when you don't feel like doing it. It's the key to consistency, progress, and success.

So, how do you build discipline?

Discipline is slow school of thought that can only be instilled with regular practice.

So here’s what I do, I’ve taken up 2 physically strenuous habits and keep at it daily, weekly - Even when i don’t want to

➡️ I walk /run daily for 20 minutes, rain or shine.

➡️ I practice a 16-hour fast - which is especially challenging cause who doesn’t love food right?

On days when you're feeling low or when you're not seeing results, it's easy to skip these habits. But sticking to them demonstrates discipline.
A disciplined mindset can set you apart from the rest and positively impact other areas of your life. Try it!

⚙️ A personal operating system ⚙️

Just like computers need an operating system to function, we humans need our own personal operating system to navigate life.

Personally, I've chosen ‘stoicism’

➡️ To be influenced by logic and not emotion

➡️ To focus on things I can control and let go of what I can’t

➡️ To care more about what I think of myself than what others say of me

With stoicism, I'm able to take control of my thoughts and emotions and mold them into a positive force that propels me forward

Try it out, it's like having a superpower that keeps you cool, calm, and collected no matter what life throws your way ⚽

One day I’d retire and be a full time food critique 🙃✌️

Nepalis food is damn nice and spicy 🌶

Increasing our quality of life (QOL) should be a key goal. Sometimes, money helps us do this. But sometimes, it’s simple habits. In this case - the simple habit is the act of drinking water.

Drink water internet, it’s damn good for you!

Pokahara lake is an absolute beauty. We had to cross this lake in order to get to Thalpani, the resort that’s on the other side of the bustling city of Pokhara.

Pokhara has one of the best Para Gliding spots in the world. The icy mountain range you see in the background is the Annapurna range.

If you ever do this, ask the instructor to do some acrobatic maneuvers 🤘

Get in my belly - Newari food!
