IS YOUR "ME TIME" REALLY YOURS?

Image
Yes, we are meeting after a very long time!  I was giving myself a "ME TIME", haha!! that's what we all say right. But have you ever thought that is your "me time" really yours, or you are just forcing yourself to be with you? just because you were said it will make you happy. Isn't it a toxic relationship? We all are told by some or the other experts to give ourselves time, spend some time with ourselves. And we think that during this time we will do something just for ourselves. And in this process, we land up being selfish at times. Alright, I will give you a real-time example of what happened with me. Being a Prenatal and postnatal coach I was taking counseling for a 2-month newborn mom. As usual, she was facing postpartum sleep struggles, and I being the 'same' medical expert advised her to take "ME TIME" telling her it will help her relax better. A week later, we had a session and I asked her what did she do in her "me time"...

DETOX WATER AT HOME FOR BETTER FITNESS

Image
Detox water :- Old is Gold. Who cares!! now its fashion for platinum and diamond. Show-off is the most substantial nature shown in this cohort. We struggle to put ourselves in the track of being superior. But somewhere we all know where we belong to. We are struggling to lose weight by adopting the paleo diet, intermittent diet, and blah blah diets. Come on guys, we have the best Indian herbs and food around us which will help us to stay healthy without struggling. A very undesirable fight to prove one's diet right is going around us. I felt pity for one of my customer whom I asked to go for jaggery and water for detoxification, and she bragged about not having jaggery and to tell her some fancy recipe. I was shaken by her act. So, I m here requesting you,  to go with platinum but do not forget the value of gold. GOLD is still the purest thing in Hindu mythology. As so are the uses of some forgotten herbs and ingredients which might help to detoxify oneself and los...

EGG-BREAD-SPREAD

Image
Want a genie? order and things are done. Everyone in this techno world wants a quick fix. Be it a basic lifestyle need or luxury thing. All we want is to make things easy. Easy work, easy way to earn, easy to handle wife's and not to forget kids, and most importantly EASY FOOD. Career oriented women face difficulty when they have to prepare food as well as do the office work without compromising her and the family's health. And eating cornflakes daily is not appreciable at least for the sake of our tongue which has about 10,000 taste buds and they are known to replace every 2 weeks. Such an easy peasy recipe is sent by Mrs.Surabhi Pathak who works in an IT company, balances the house, and office work very well. On one hand, she is concerned about herself and her family's health and on the other hand she carries a tremendous dedication to her office work. She masters time management.

TIPS FOR HEALTHY MIND

Image
"Upon distance I saw a sparkling diamond, going near I knew glasses too sparkle". It's all your brain, it processes what it sees. Like my last blog mentioned about JUNK MIND but seeing panipuri and pav bhaji in the first line itself you thought it to be on JUNK FOOD. This happens because we tend to find health and junk food much more relatable than the junk mind. When such a scenario takes place in a negative pattern we tend to fall in the category of 'jumping to conclusions ' cognitive distortion. Let the brain not confuse between 'diamond' and 'glass', and get a quick look on what do these junks do to you, quickly asses yourselves and know the ways to get rid of them and tips for healthy mind.

JUNK AROUND YOU

Image
THE colourful stall of panipuri, samosas ,pav bhaji are so much fascinating to us but we state them as JUNKS and refrain ourselves from eating them. SO why cannot we refrain us from,getting those mind junks? I wonder, are these negative thoughts fascinating for our mind too? Although they may help us feel superior for a span of time. However,  Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet "There is nothing either good or bad ,but thinking makes it so." As our whole country is in  lockdown state , Each person defines his struggle in a different way , some for food ,some for shelter and some are crying thinking about their future.   All are full of anxiety,misery and other emotional issues. In such a state ,one can help themselves by only being optimistic and eliminate mind junks. So I thought to make my fitness freaky reader familiar with these mind junks which  are medically known as " cognitive distortions". I know this medical term has made you all worried , no worries ...

THE WATER SIGNALS

Hola! Fitness freaks. The Letter F in 'LIFE' is way more significant than it actually seems. But WTF ? (What is F).  The F is actually the fitness in your life. As, if the F= FITNESS in your life then, your life is zingalala warna it will be full of flawllallala . It is a very ignored fact that the same part of brain is responsible  for  THIRST & HUNGER SIGNALS. Many a times we confuse between the thirst signals and the hunger signals the body sends , and here its our brain which is at fault! This confusion made by the two signals make us OVEREAT  or we land up drinking soda drinks or eat junks (WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ?)  which makes us unhealthy. My last blog suggested you to "learn know the thirst signals and do not overdrink water".   How do  you know that you are thirsty?  So let the brain not confuse , and know the basic difference.
