My buddy, Ravi Sirsat had given me a mantra to lose weight. Besides keeping off carbohydrates and regular exercise, he advised to eat more often. Instead of few heavy meals, he recommended to have smaller meals at regular intervals. Lesser but more often was the way to eat!
Interestingly this mantra works at various levels and in various situations. We have a tendency to devote our attention and action in a single focus areas. We tend to lead lives with fewer priorities and end up blocking major portions of our time for fewer things. And in a tight schedule we end up not having time for other priorities.
For instance, we find it difficult to see the time to devote to our hobbies or organisations we have joined or relationships. And if we start making time for these, then we end up giving too much time and often we end up feeling the strain of over participation. But, we can choose to allot smaller sets of time… on a regular basis!
Eventually, it is not how much we eat… it is how often we eat smaller portions… less but over smaller intervals. Like overeating, overdoing anything can lead to strain, stress and a breakdown. Instead of fewer bursts of commitment, we must choose to indulge and involve more often… whether it is food… whether it is an organisation… whether it is a hobby… whether it is a relationship!
Eat less but more often
Strain will surely soften!
