New Year Resolutions - Week 14 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 14 - 02 Apr 2022 (Sat) to 08 Apr 2022 (Fri)

Week 14 was the first week of the second quarter of 2022 and I started it by watching the Sharmaji Namkeen movie on Amazon Prime Video. I really loved Rishi Kapoor since my childhood and it was so sad to see him in his last movie. What a remarkable superstar! 

1. Walking - This week as well I was short of around 2 kilometres from my target of 20 kilometres due to the weather and other rainy conditions. I should have improvised and gone for a walk when there was no rain in the mornings or afternoons. I think I need to plan my walks like that going forward and try to cover much in a single day instead of only keeping 3 kilometres every day.  

2. Audiobooks - The books and audiobooks took a backseat for a while but I did manage to finish Chris Voss's book Never Split the Difference. It's really a book that I want to buy and re-read with underlining the specific chapters because the use cases are so strong that you can definitely apply them all in your lives. 

3. Hanuman Chalisa - I reduced the number to 900x Hanuman Chalisa this week and am on my way to completing the 42 Years of the same by my birthday. I am really excited to be closing down on one of the most important tasks of my life which I have been dreaming about the same since many years. Now I am so close to the completion that it's going to be a really great day when I achieve this. 

4. Entertainment - Watched Sharmaji Namkeen movie which I really loved watching with Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla acting in them along with Paresh Rawal. This will be the first movie where an actor has done some of the left scenes due to the death of another and the transition is so good that you feel great watching the overall movie. The Show Must Go On...

5. Launch Events - I attended Xiaomi virtual launch event as well as Dell Tech Byte Webinar virtually. I got some goodies from Dell Technologies which is a Cellini Lumbar Pillow to go on my gaming chair. I enjoyed participating in some of the online contests on Twitter and Facebook and let's see if I managed to win the same or not in the coming days? 

6. Thank You - I did around 60000 Thank You during this week and did really less of daily prayers as the office work took real precedence. I am not in a mood to calculate what number I have reached so far in the first quarter and it doesn't matter also as it will only increase my pride and not make me humble so better to keep it the same way. 

This first week has been a simple one but as you continue to live the same day in and day out is really difficult. It's been the 14th week now but I am enjoying the journey because even if I am not able to achieve everything I am able to do something with a consistent focus. Focus is something that you should always aspire to achieve on a daily basis. Thanks!!!

Week 13 Post

New Year Resolutions - Week 12 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

A quarter of the Year 2022 is almost over and it's time now to look at things from a quarterly perspective there will be a post on the same too but let's focus on what I did in Week 11 where I had a lot of failures for sure as I focussed on playing with Reyansh as he came back from India after 2 months or so. 

Week 12 - 19 Mar 2022 (Sat) to 25 Mar 2022 (Fri)

1. Walking - I didn't go on a daily walk for most of the week and could only achieve 16.4 Kilometers this week for the 3 days I went. I could not go on Friday as I went to a birthday party with family. The overall counter still stands around 260+ kilometres in 12 weeks (Target 240 kilometres) so far so I have something of a buffer to don't think much about these little failures. 

2. Thank You - I completed the 100k Thank You counter for the month and this time it went from 0 to 100k all the way without any reset or something. I am really grateful to Ken Honda for this task that I really enjoy doing. 

3. Audiobooks - I completed Chris Bailey's Hyperfocus: how to work less and achieve more and this has been my 15th book so far in 3 months. I really loved reading all these books rather than listening to them during my walks. Some of them I will revisit in printed editions or on kindle a little later or can refer to them again and again in the coming days for sure. I started listening to Blinkist but didn't find that platform to be much interesting as it's someone's summary or understanding of the book. I started listening to Chris Voss - Never Split The Difference which is really something of a lifelong goal for me too. This is one of the books I would want to buy in real life too and keep it with me all the time. 

4. Entertainment - The only entertainment I had was making the Lego Star Wars - 75242 - Black Ace TIE Interceptor up to the level that I spent the Monday afternoon building it from scratch to finish. It was my first time ever with the Lego blocks and I received them from the NAG team. I built it to the level that at the end of the making process my left-hand thumb was bleeding from the side as I put a lot of pressure to put blocks in place. It's still hurting and a lesson learnt that you have to take care of your hands while building small lego pieces. 

5. Daily Prayers - This week was a failure for daily prayers as I didn't do them for at least 5 days and this is really sad. I have to find time to complete my daily prayers and also Shradha bought some new idols from India and I totally loved them. I was using one idol of Lord Hanuman from Archies gallery which Keisha gifted me way back in 2010 before I went to London and this has been with me for so many years. 

6. Social Media - I continued to schedule the posts on my Instagram and Facebook pages but did not get enough response. I am posting on the channels on a daily basis and let's continue to build it for the whole year and work on the power of consistency. I also have to find some time to create more photo posts from all the photos I have taken over the years. My youtube channel also completed 5000 hours of Youtube watch lifetime which is really great and I am thankful to everyone who watches my content. 

I enjoyed a lot of sweets and things that came from India via Shradha and Reyansh. I also bought a lot of goodies from Amazon.in and Isha Yoga and also those will be unboxed on my youtube channel soon. I have plenty of things that will help me create so many more videos in years to come. 

Cheers!!!
