Do you want to live a healthy and productive life? So the '9-1' rule can prove helpful for you. This simple yet effective principle helps you not only achieve your fitness goals, but also improve your habits.
According to Saurabh Bothra, CEO of Hubuild, it is good to follow the '9 to 1 rule' to check good health. But doing all this consistently is the best way to build lasting habits instead of focusing on the numbers. Let us know what is the 9-1 rule.
- Walking at least 9,000 steps daily
- Drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily
- Getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night to improve your energy and mood
- Walking at least every day to reduce stress and increase focus Do 6 minutes of meditation
- Eat 5 types of fruits and vegetables every day to get vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
- Take 4 breaks a day to rest your sensory organs
- Improve your energy levels and overall health To do: Eat 3 main and small healthy meals every day
- Keep a gap of 2 hours between dinner and bedtime
- Choose a physical exercise that you like and do it daily
Importance of Flexibility
According to Bothra, our brain is naturally a fan of numbers. It prefers to process information presented quantitatively. Therefore I have no doubt about this wonderful rule. This can work wonders. You just need to keep at it. Bothra further explained that sometimes strict adherence to rules can become a source of stress rather than encouragement. For example, if I follow the 9 to 1 rule and one day I am unable to take 9000 steps, sleep 7 hours, or meditate for 6 minutes, it will automatically create a feeling of despair. The inability to stick to a goal can also make us critical of ourselves, which will only harm our self-improvement journey.
The basic principle of the 9 to 1 rule is incredible.
Bothra believes that the basic principle of the 9 to 1 rule is incredible, which has essential elements such as one must engage in at least 1 physical activity every day and a balanced diet for your food and sleep. A gap of 2 to 3 hours is necessary between the times. He said that not all concepts need to be strictly followed in the form of numbers. This is because we all have different priorities, schedules and needs. However, one key to making these habits sustainable is to adopt a flexible approach.
