Self Care

Self Care is highly underrated and grossly misunderstood. It is much more than just bubble baths or binge watching.

Taking care of yourself is instrumental in your life. When you take care of yourself you
- Are fit physically
- Strong mentally
- Balanced emotionally

Thus all around you benefit
- Your Family: You can be there for them and spend more happy time
- Workplace : Better concentration levels & High productivity
- You : Good health and Live a better life

What happens if there is no self care?
So what happens when your phone runs out of battery?
However expensive it is and how much ever apps you have- you can’t use it. Can you?

Exactly when you exhaust your own batteries- you won’t be able to do anything you desire. Forget being there for others - you won’t be there for yourself .

No Self care isn’t selfish. Infact lack of self care can be self destructive and can also affect your family, work life and social circle.

So now how do we practice self care?
Although there are many many ways and there is a huge detailed study on it here are a few tips from me
- Drink loads of water
- Eat fresh and Healthy food
- Exercise
- Go for nature walks
- Take massages
- Stop having processed sugar
- Journal a lot
- Read
- Meditate and practice Yoga
- Learn to say “NO”(politely with a smile)
....the list is endless

So today I ask you to make 1 tiny change in your lifestyle and dedicate 15 mins for self care. Any good change requires discipline and commitment. What is your way to practise self care?

After all “You cannot pour from an empty cup”

Take care
Happy Monday

The process is interconnected, starting with our emotions and ultimately shaping our external reality. Here’s a breakdown of this transformative journey: 1.

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Stop turning on your Emotional ...

Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1. Seeking External Validation: Carrie's relentless pursuit of external validation struck a chord with my former self. Today, I no longer seek approval to defin...
