Why get up early? Scenario: A normal evening, some 4 years ago. I am sitting with my parents, wasting time on social media. Suddenly, my dad, who would be the last person to ever point this out, says, “You have got a double chin. It’s about time you start getting a grip on your routine and taking your health seriously.” That statement hit home. It hit home hard. It was something about the truth in those words that suddenly came crashing down on me. And I know I cannot get more cliched here, but post that day, there was no going back. *insert cool emoji* I got into a routine. I started waking up early. I joined a gym. I got proactive about my health. I was scouring the net for anything and everything on weight loss. But all that is a story for another day. On to more pressing matters.. Why get up early? Remember, this is coming from a girl who would get up at 8.15 for a class at 8.30. (and of course, miss it, duh!). Sloth, irresponsible, nonchalant are few of...

Past and future are in the mind only- I am NOW
Joie de vivre The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn in the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. Here is a mantra one should live by: Develop an appreciation for the present moment, seize every second of your life, and savour it. The more you practice this mantra , the more it will contribute to your mental wellness. In today’s age, we all get stuck in a constant search of “unleashing our own calling or our purpose of being”.

Here are 5 instant stressbusters that can get you back in the moment and pull you out of illusions of past and future...

Being Body Positive
The ‘Body Positivity Movement’ started with the aim to make people comfortable with and accepting of their own and others’ bodies. It encompasses much more than just acceptance. One should be more loving towards their own selves, and I’ll tell you people why. Has it ever occurred to you that despite being so dismissive of your body, always finding faults in it, starving to fit in that one dress, complaining about being a certain size, not taking proper care of it, and at times giving up on it, it has never given up on you? It has always worked for you-round the clock-so that you can function sans impediments? What we shouldn’t forget is that no one apart from you would know better than what your body needs. If you need to lose weight, do it strategically, not hastily and by going on a crash diet. It will be a struggle, it will make you bend over backwards, and you may have a breakdown along the way. But the journey will teach you so much! It will teach you to be resilien...
