my name is Nishita and today I’m going
to share with you guys a story a story
of a number that was connected with my
life for very long and just to shake let
us see on the screen okay this is the
number that was associated with my life
of a long I want to get rid of this
number but somehow I fail again then
again you know why because this number
gave me something that I never wanted in
life at the age of 23 I was diagnosed
with the high blood pressure and doctors
are you know shared with me that you
might have early heart attack as well if
you do not change your lifestyle this is
the number which affected my social life
my emotional life my relationships as
well as my physical life do you know why
because this number that you see on the
screen is my weight yeah yes so can you
see the size of the chair and where eyes
you know sit you might be seeing that
nished is quite happy over there but let
me tell you uh this was only external
happiness on the inside I was really
depressed
I liked self-confidence I liked lack the
self esteem and I was thinking you know
what to do with my life but then I was
able to you know learn three keys three
keys that I’m gonna share today with you
guys and I undo my life with these three
keys and it all happened because of just
one philosophy one ancient philosophy
Indian philosophy that we have and that
is yoga so when you know a person sees
that okay he’s overweight in the mirror
the natural tendency is to go to a gym
join her take up a gym membership you go
there for two months and after that
bye-bye yeah nothing happens okay then
what you try swimming because you know
your neighborhood a guy in the
neighborhood said that okay swimming is
the best way to reduce weight so I tried
swimming I feel
again nothing happened I start I tried a
freestyle exercising but then again I
failed I was doing all the right things
in the physical domain in the physical
realm but some of these one realm in
which I never worked and that was my
mental Dell the thing is uh every day
when I used to get up in the morning I
used to see myself as an overweight guy
this is the picture that came to my mind
when I got up in the morning I was doing
all the thing in the right in the
physical domain exercising jimang
swimming freestyle exercises etc etc but
nothing happened because mentally I was
not thinking of the right self-image of
mine and that was the biggest problem
the day I changed something I just share
what when the day I changed my
self-image and I thought of myself as a
person who is extremely fit I saw some
results coming in and that was a
surprise to me because when your mind
and your body is connected whatever you
are thinking is actually going to
manifest in your life I just wanted to
look around all the things that are
there in this hall just have a look you
know what do you see you have got
multiple things you have got a projector
some lights some bold and you know some
lights also air so many things and
everything actually was nothing but an
idea in the mind of some individual it
started with the idea in the mind and
after that the mind we know made it into
a reality so if you want to bring any
kind of change I think the first thing
you have to work on is your internal
self image that’s the main message guys
and that was the first key okay
adapting your self image after that I
thought what I’m going to do is I’m
going to start yoga I enrolled myself in
a yoga course where I learned so many
things which I’m going to share in
today’s talk when you join the first
class you know in the first class and
you believe that Yoga is nothing but
about a headstand or a handstand or
twisting your body beyond
we know human capability with that
thinking I also went to my first class
and I was thinking you know what I think
it is going to be really fun but
surprisingly guru see over there
he called me please come please come son
i sat beside him and he said do one
thing
your first asana is going to be the
simplest simplest asana I said what is
that so whatever do is you have to sit
in a comfortable position comfortable
position close your eyes and sit there
be there for 15 minutes now I said this
is the third grader sir I can do better
this is like the easiest task you can do
in yoga you know but I I want to do
something advanced I won’t twist my body
I want to lift myself and undo all those
poses and all but surprisingly guru ji
said do one thing okay that’s that what
you have to do let me tell you guys this
is the toughest thing you can ever do in
life the first thing just sitting there
closing your eyes and just thinking
about nothing let me tell you go five
minutes nothing will happen but in the
sixth minute in the sixth minute the
devil inside you will rise up yeah and
that devil will ask you to please you
know take your phone and check your
whatsapp or check your Facebook yeah if
you resist what will happen it will take
you to a past sometime it will take you
to a future and you are like totally
confused you cannot sit alone for
sometime
you cannot calm your mind and then I
learned my first lesson in yoga that
mind is nothing but a monkey a monkey
which is jumping from one place to the
other to the next to the next
yeah and to control this mind the
easiest thing you can do is to bring
back the mind to the present yeah so
when is the monkey jumps what you do you
ask the monkey to be in the present
whether the jumping the monkey goes
somewhere else
ask the monkey to come in the present if
you do it regularly what happens is a
simple art you can do it that build
power will part which can help you make
a change in your life that’s the first
thing then what guys are
I learned it is very important for you
to be in the now being the present
asking the monkey to come again and the
present and what working work towards
your goals
next when I started doing yoga I was
able to do all the basic level asanas so
these are like you know we can call the
basic level asana I was quite
comfortable doing all the asanas and I
have got that you know muscle mass that
I wanted in life I wanted to be fit and
I was fit so all the problems were born
so quite you know satisfied with the
whatever is happening but then guru ji
challenged me he said missus do you know
what you can do better do an asana be is
called ashtavakra asana I asked him said
what is a star asana he says ashtavakra
asana is an asana in which you twist
your body from eight different joints
and what and lift your body on the
weakest link the weakest link of your
body that is your wrists lifting your
body on that so I said sir it is very
difficult to do that I cannot do it he
said no you have to do it I said okay
I’ll do it
I try it the first time and I fell flat
on my face
and my nose broke I got some bleeding
also I said no I cannot do it now it is
enough I think that is enough to
maintain myself I cannot go to the next
level he said to again I did it again
and again fell for multiple times I was
falling I was getting up I was falling I
was getting up I was falling I was
getting up but let me tell you guys one
day I was able to do this asana which is
called the ashtavakra asana that’s
awesome
I learned the beautiful lesson while
doing this asana that persistence is the
key to success you have to go through
the path of failure to achieve something
big and that is what I did from my
transformation to weight loss to estava
cryosauna but that was not read whenever
I show this picture to people you know
in my workshop also these tell me we
should can you do this asana anytime I
said you know you need to prepare your
body for that I said okay
oh I’m going to prepare my body because
if people ask me to do this asana any
family will do it it is a visual
representation that anything is possible
if you are prepared enough and you are
living your message mentally I
visualized myself I’m going to do this
asana every day without any kind of
warm-up and then finally I brought it
into a muscle memory and I was able to
do this asana anytime that you know I
want so the question I’m going to ask
you guys do you want to see me doing
this awesome right oh yeah okay let me
give it a shot let me give it a shot I
have to train my mind for this yeah
let’s see if I can do it well there’s no
need right now but let me just try if I
can you know do it now so you think I
can do it are you sure
let me try so guys this visual
representation I am giving you right now
is nothing but a proof that anything is
possible thank you so much thank you
thank you thank you yeah that’s nothing
but a proof that anything is possible
guys even if your mind is not prepared
and you have the capacity do the
impossible you can train your mind and
that’s what I learned you know a
beautiful lesson over here you need to
act unless and until you act you’ll not
fail and if you do not fail you will
never learn you need to learn and that
is why it is very important for you to
fail yeah choosing to act I want a box
which I have kept over there
let me just have that box on the screen
okay this is the baccarat box that I
have and this is a box of chocolates
exotic chocolates how many of us like to
have the chocolate I’m asking how many
of us would like to have the chocolate
how many our first would like to have a
yeah I think the middle is pretty simple
if you want it
step outside from your comfort zone get
the overhead and get that box Wow nice
this is the only difference between
leaders and followers if you are a
leader you need to act you know why many
of the people are settin okb-1 the
chocolate box but then no one came
forward that is why it is mentioned it
is choosing to act not just action it’s
a choice that you have guys and if you
miss the choice you’re going to miss the
opportunity that’s the lesson guys let
me have the next slide on the screen
this is what I call the yoga principle
and I’ve followed in my life a B and C
pretty simple adapt your self-image that
means have that picture in your mind be
in the now and last but not the least
choose to act yeah but let me share one
story with you guys which you know
happened only because I use all these
three principles now thing is I want to
become an author at the age of 24 yeah
and people who still mini you know
what you cannot become an author because
you don’t have an experience I said no
problems the people who went on moon
even they never had the experience I
said that’s okay no problems I’ll still
try
so before I became an author I applied
the first principle that is adapt your
self image I imagine myself becoming an
author long before I actually became a
not long before years before and I was
acting and behaving in a way as if I am
an author at that moment even when I was
not noted and then I got that motivation
now when you think of writing a book you
will you know thing that is a big task a
huge task you know you have to write a
big book but let me tell you I was in
the present I got the monkey mind in the
present and asked the monkey mind tell
me what do I need to do right now and
the monkey mind said write one page I
said okay I read one page be in the now
next day again I wrote one page and in
six months I was able to write my first
book yeah
first manuscript I send this to various
publishing houses now it was important
for me to act as well I’ve got various
you know rejection letters and after 32
knows I got my first yes and they said
yeah you know that’s okay we are going
to publish a book I went forward I said
I’m going to write my second book as
well and people said know what the first
book was merely a chance a luck you know
that you can say I said no problems I’ll
write my second book I wrote my second
book and this time around I got around
16 or 17 time I got a yes again and I
was surprised I was choosing to act I
was acting I was taking action on my
dreams I said I’m not gonna stop right
now do you think I’m going to stop I’ve
got some keys over here why not use the
keys again I wrote my third book and
what this time along in the fourth time
I got an offer from India’s leading
publication house and I book is online
everywhere at the airport’s everywhere
and that’s how I was able to publish my
three books guys now the question is do
you think I’m gonna stop right now
absolutely not my fourth book is in
publishing this book I’m reading and
sixth idea I’m just finding out what can
I do yeah so it’s a continuous process
guys it all starts with the mind by
asking the mind to be in the present and
then what choosing to act on a regular
basis with this I finally wrap it up but
let me tell you guys I have one small
thing we have not shared with you and
that’s the only link between all these
three ideas you know what whenever you
go to office or you know go to a college
or do whatever you want
at home also majorly you’re dealing with
your mind yeah you’re doing everything
with the mind yeah
mind is there hands are there but
there’s one thing that is missing that
is what your heart if you are doing
everything with your mind and heart and
hands there
immediately anything is possible thank you guys thank you so much
