Are you making these information overload mistakes?

Hope you’re awesome Today.

In today’s time, social media, newspaper, and
television connect us to the world  24X7. We are exposed to the
information never before in the history of humanity — the minute it happens in
any part of the world this information bombards us.

In a way this information is useful, but it has huge
repercussions on our mind. I call this phenomenon INFORMATION OVERLOAD. It
may seem that more news is useful, but it creates more harm than good on an
individual’s perception and how it shapes our behaviour.

What happens when we are exposed to huge
information which we are not actively seeking?

The answer is the absence of curiosity. We learn
best when we are curious when we are
hungry and likely to implement that information in our life. 

These
things happen to us.

1) We
create Beliefs- Based on the information; we
develop beliefs
about the world and people.

2) We
Live- Based on the ideas we Live our
life.

Would like to share my experience of how my
decision to discard information changed my life. A few years ago I was like
most of the people. Getting up in the morning and having a cup of tea while
reading the newspaper and expose me to the information which was of no use
to me. 

One day I decided to stop reading the
newspaper and started going to the gym. Trust me it was not an easy
decision especially when your habit which took years to form. However, I
committed to myself that no matter what I will go every day. I injured
myself within the first week, but I was not in the mood to give up. 

I was curious and wanted to learn, I read a
lot of books and articles and understood the right techniques. After a few
weeks, my body started to respond. I began to have the energy which I had never
experienced before (probably when I was young). After this, I started focusing
on things which I used to avoid earlier because of lack of energy and
enthusiasm.

With this extra time in my hand, I joined a
public speaking club which I wanted to join
for a long time. This decision changed my life.

Not sure what you should do first thing in the
morning but I’m sharing my experience

1. Connect to yourself first- I Sit alone
and write journal first thing in the morning, and it helps me to connect
to myself at a more in-depth level. It helps
me search deep inside my heart. Listen to it and understand what it says. This
simple habit will change your life. 

2. Use Imagination- When you come across new
information, use your imagination and ask yourself “how can this information
change my life”.

3. Experiment- Experiment, what works and what
doesn’t work. There is no magic formula.

When this kind of small changes keeps happening,
one day you find that your life is transformed.
That’s what happened to me. Because of this experimentation, I have figured it
out the Focus Formula which I teach in my workshops.

Discard information which doesn’t help you in becoming a
better person and Start focusing on information
which is essential and enables you to grow in life.

Look at your life right now and think for a moment what you need to focus on. Something you must change to change your life. What is that ONE thing?
