0$ INVESTMENTS THAT MAKE YOU RICH!

  

 

     Yes, you read it right. These 5 investments will make you live a fuller and richer life and all of it will cost you absolutely zero dollars. So, what's the catch? I wish that I could say, “No catch" but you got to wait till the end of this blog to know it.

1. Reading:

Most if not all of the people who have made millions have attributed a part of their success to a life-changing book that they have read. It doesn't matter what you read. Be it newspaper, magazine, fiction or non-fiction, anything. This is one habit that will never let you down. If you're one of those people who cannot put up with hours of reading, there are multiple free book summary apps. These apps would summarize the content of large books into short audios. Booklet is one such app. If you get sleepy reading a book, then read one just before bed time. I once read somewhere that reading as little as 21 pages a day makes you finish 30 books a year.

 

2.Physical exercise:

Looks do matter and it has very little to do with the features you're born with. A fit body, glowing skin and lot of confidence are what makes a person attractive. And that is achieved through exercise. While it is true that health is wealth, it is also true that beauty is power. So why not invest in something which makes you rich in that power. When it comes to fitness, consistency is the key and also continuous improvement. If you want to start small you could walk or run regularly. There are many step tracker, 5K trainer apps which are free. If you want to spruce it up you could dance too. 30-minute cardio workout every day is bound to give visible results within 4 weeks.

 

3.Journalling:

When pen meets paper to write goals, magic is created. The whole universe conspires to make them come true. When you journal your thoughts and feels it put things into perspective. When you plan your day, week or month in writing your brain automatically sets time line and works accordingly. An ideal journal has 3 sections in any category. 1-To list your wish that you want to magically happen with clear description, 2-To list your targets and goals and how to achieve them, 3- To write down your questions, thoughts and feelings.

 

4.Meaningful human connections:

Love is the most invincible force there is. Investing in deep meaningful relationships not only makes you happy but also is soul enriching. Any act of love leads to secretion of oxytocin which biologically makes you happy. Always remember the relationship you should feel symbiotic and equal. When your gut says something is off it is off. Also, it all starts with self-love. One can't give from and empty pocket and building soul enriching connections involve giving.

5.Meditation:

Meditation is like making a pit stop the car that is your mind. It rejuvenates your mind and body. It could be as simple as sitting still in comfortable position and concentrating only on breathing for 5 minutes. If you're not the quiet meditating kind then you could opt for "mindfulness". Mindfulness is a practice to be fully conscious and attentive of the present. Adult coloring book is one of the popular methods of mindful meditation. There are free apps available for mediation sounds too.

 

Now, for the catch I talked about in the beginning of this blog. All of these zero-dollar investments don't cost you money but they do cost you a much more expensive thing - THE TIME. We're are all given the same 24 hours a day. However, we are all not given the same circumstances and responsibilities. Hence to make these investments you need impeccable discipline and impressive time management skills but more on that in my next blog.

See you! Stay fabulous!
