Sharpen Your Focus: The July Strategy

Look, if you want to run the boardroom, you can't be dragging your feet. Right now, Jupiter’s in Pushya, which is all about steady, grounded expansion. It’s perfect for the work I’m doing.

But the heat of summer can fry your nerves if you aren't careful. It’s Pitta season, and that fire in your gut can easily turn into burnout or poor decision-making if you don’t manage it.

I’ve been sticking to a strict routine lately to keep the edge. Forget the complex nonsense. Keep it simple.

Start your day with a glass of cool water—not ice cold, just cool—with a squeeze of lime. It’s a basic trick to keep your digestion from overheating while you’re grinding through morning meetings.

Switch your mid-day meals to lighter grains like barley or basmati rice. Avoid the heavy spices for lunch. You don't want a food coma hitting you at 2:00 PM when you need to be sharpest.

If you’re feeling the pressure, practice Chandra Bhedana—the left-nostril breathing technique. It cools the system down immediately. It’s effective, it’s fast, and it keeps you composed when the stakes are high.

Don’t let your ambition burn you out before you reach the finish line. Control the inner fire, or the fire controls you.
