Use THE Stairs Whenever you See it.
This entire week, I want you to collect some micro-exercise…
Use the stairs instead of the elevator in your:
- Apartment
- Office
- Malls
- etc
If it seems too much, then use the elevator until 2 floors below your floor and then take the stairs from there.
This is a very minor shift you’re making but, just like all good habits – it will give you compounding results over time.

Wealth Hack Of The Week:
Apply the 48-Hour Rule.
Before buying something non-essential, worth INR 2,000 or more…
Wait for 48 hours to make the decision. Don’t impulse buy.
Anything other than food, healthcare, rent, and utilities count as “non-essential”.
If you want something even after 48 hours of waiting, that’s a sign you really need it.
Go for it.
Relationship Hack of The Week:
Offer words of Affirmation.
Validate people around you with affirming words.
Very few people go about life feeling appreciated & validated.
When you articulate it to them, it makes a whole world of difference in their life.
Encourage and compliment at least ONE person this entire week.
