Podcasts have been one of the latest addition to my attempts at creating a healthier and happier lifestyle. During one of our lunch time conversations, Sachin Sir (one of my office colleagues and Seniors) had suggested us to listen to Podcasts in our free times. I remember him telling us that listening to audios rather than music can help improve concentration.
It had seemed like a good idea to at least experiment with. But, soon it become a part of my daily routines. While I had begin with following quite a bunch, I finally settled for 3 Things and On Purpose. While first one helps me to stay updated, the other keeps me motivated.
3 Things by the Indian Express
Despite my many journalistic ambitions, I have often struggled with getting fond of all the latest news. I have often found myself on the verge of dozing off trying to read news during my numerous attempts in my university and post graduation years.
Not that I am proud of it, but I have finally given up on the notion that we can directly go from Zero to 100. Getting on to Podcast and fumbling on 3 Things have been a perfect way to begin.
It has finally helped me stay updated with the latest news and actually offers a more balanced analysis of the major news events of the day. Moreover, Indian Express had been my first ever professional organisation and have been one of the more credible news organisations we have in the country. Additionally, being their constant listener finally allowed me to think beyond Print and think about the many opportunities in New Media too.
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Self help and inspirational content has been one of those not so cool things that I like. I was exposed to Jay Shetty's quotes from a friend's repost. However, eventually knowing that he had been a monk for three years futher ignited my curiosity.
I don't remember my journey into his podcasts. But, soon after I listened to a few Podcasts, I fell in love with the show. I genuinely enjoy the format and the fact he brings to us successful people from all walks of people.
Moreover, his second weekly shows of tips offers so many great yet simple and practical tips to incorporate in our lives. I am definitely quite far behind as I began sequentially from the first. And it's definitely at least an year of catching up to the already growing series.
While it's difficult to incorporate all the suggested tips but it has definitely helped me learn quite a lot and stay motivated on my rough days during the Pandemic.
So, that's about my favourite Podcasts and daily dose of motivation. What about yours?
