Start your day by carving out a solid 20‑minute block for Transcendental Meditation—just like Rahul Vohra does each morning. This practice is all about sitting comfortably, letting a gentle mantra settle in your mind, and allowing your breath to carry you to a calm center before the first coffee hits.
After the meditation, fuel your body with a simple green smoothie: spinach, banana, a spoonful of chia seeds, and almond milk. Rahul swears this combo keeps the acidity in check and gives him the energy to tackle code reviews and investor calls without that afternoon slump.
Exercise is the third pillar in Vohra’s routine. A brisk 30‑minute walk after lunch—not a marathon, just a steady pace—helps reset the nervous system and keeps the mind sharp for the next sprint. He plugs this walk into his calendar like a mandatory meeting, so it never gets skipped.
The key to sticking with these habits is treating them as non‑negotiable appointments. Set a reminder, block the time, and literally put a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on your door. When the day gets hectic, you’ll find the ritual is a powerful anchor that keeps you grounded.
If you’re new to Transcendental Meditation, start with a free guided session on Insight Timer or look for a local teacher—Laurent Valosek teaches in San Francisco, for instance. Once you’re comfortable, tweak the duration or add the smoothie and walk, and watch your focus, resilience, and overall well‑being climb.
