divine routine

To the one reading this,

I am honored to guide you on a journey toward creating a balanced, meaningful, and spiritually aligned life. As a doctor, parent, healer, and spiritual seeker, I’ve walked paths filled with both harmony and chaos. One such moment in my journey illuminated the importance of balance: a time when my demanding schedule as a doctor encroached upon precious moments with my family. That experience taught me that nurturing harmony is vital for true fulfillment.

Today, I wish to share with you the concept of Building a Balanced Life. Balance, I have come to realize, is not found but created, and it begins with the T.E.A.R. Formula: Thought → Energy → Action → Result. This sequence is as powerful as it is simple:

Conscious thoughts generate stable, positive inner energy.

That energy shapes our daily decisions.

Steadfast decisions naturally create balanced actions.

These balanced actions then lead to peaceful, meaningful results.

When we examine the Five Pillars of Life—Health, Relationships, Financial Wisdom, Knowledge, and Inner Peace—we understand that balance is not about an equal distribution of time or attention but about the harmonious integration of these aspects into our daily life.

Consider a real-life story: A dear friend of mine, overwhelmed by work and personal stresses, felt unworthy and worn out. I guided her to focus first on her thoughts, encouraging her to cultivate gratitude, which shifted her energy to positivity. Decisions became clear and intentional, leading her to enact small, balanced actions that ripple through her family and career, ultimately restoring her inner peace and contentment.

Here are a few habits I recommend for balanced living:

1. Reflection Breaks: Reserve small pockets of time each day to reflect on your thoughts and energy.

2. Digital Pause: Set boundaries for your digital devices to foster genuine, present connections.

3. Mindful Breathing: Engage in deep, conscious breathing to center your energy at various points throughout the day.

4. Service Gestures: Actively seek moments to serve others, which fosters a profound sense of community and purpose.

5. Planning with Clarity: Begin your week with clear intentions, aligning your actions with your values.

As Sathya Sai Baba beautifully said, “Life is a song—sing it. Life is a game—play it. Life is a challenge—meet it. Life is a dream—realize it. Life is a sacrifice—offer it. Life is love—enjoy it.”
