You have a better chance of cracking a problem if

You have a better chance of cracking a problem if you take a break from it, rather than continue to burn the midnight oil. Just like our body gets tired, so does our mind. And a fatigued mind makes more mistakes, gets irritable easily, and takes poor decisions. While overworking is often romanticised and looked at with high regard, it is in fact counter productive. Rest and recovery contribute to a balanced life and lack of it is what’s literally killing us.
.
Latest scientific research has shared that people who work more than 54 hours a week are at a significant risk of dying from overwork. Overwork creates a domino effect triggered by excess stress hormones in the body. This eventually translates in high BP and cholesterol, lack of sleep, unhealthy eating and drinking habits to cope with stress. Very often we don’t realise that when we make unhealthy food choices we are actually self-medicating ourselves for stress. That is why when people start practicing Yoga and Meditation they immediately notice a difference in their eating habits. They no longer crave sweet or salty foods or even alcohol as they are no longer that stressed.
.
So, take a break, take a few deep breaths, and change your approach to work - productivity results not from the number of hours worked, but from a sharp and well-rested mind. 💖

I occasionally get DMs from women struggling becau

I occasionally get DMs from women struggling because their family members don’t allow them to wear their choice of clothes. Or they got bullied about their clothes while teaching yoga and therefore stopped taking classes. And someone even asked me the other day, how to wear sleeveless tops in front of in-laws! And I wanted to share my two bits here.
.
As a woman, whether you want to wear sleeveless tops or not it is your choice. If you want to teach yoga in a sports bra or a salvar-kurta, its your choice. If you want to swim in a bikini or Tshirt and shorts, its your choice.
.
No one else has a say in it.
.
Your clothes are not disrespectful to anyone.
.
There’s no clash of cultures either. I may not pray to the same Gods as you and I may not wear the same clothes as you. Just because we are different doesn’t mean we “clash”. We still co-exist letting each one do their own thing.
.
If you want to wear certain clothes but your family or culture isn’t ok with it - it’s a very unfortunate situation to be in. Either you can aim to maintain peace or you can choose to bring about change. Unfortunately, in this patriarchal world, the onus again falls on the women to create change. And that requires us to get out of our comfort zones, have difficult conversations, and take a lot of flak for our choices. I personally do not like people telling me what I should wear, I’ve been a rebel about this since childhood and had fights and arguments with my own family during my teens, forget anyone else!
.
Admittedly some people just don’t do well with confrontation. I totally understand that. And in such cases, what we can do instead is at least support those men/women who do stand their ground, and stand against patriarchy. Women are often vilified or slut-shamed for their clothing or lifestyle choices, the least we can do is vociferously support them.
.
Do not let women be pulled down because of the clothes they wear. That mindset NEEDS to change because only then can we hope for a world where more women can choose their clothes without having to fight or justify or explain themselves. ❤️

There are no headstands here, no complicated poses

There are no headstands here, no complicated poses, it is just me sitting on a chair and stretching a bit. And this too is yoga.
.
🌱Because the goal of yoga is not flexibility, it is relaxation. You stretch in yoga as that helps relax the nervous system. You breathe in specific ways in yoga as that helps relax the nervous system. You do all of this so you can help relax the mind. A relaxed mind is a meditative mind. And you meditate so you can have a better life. It’s just that simple.
.
🌱 Somehow this message gets complicated in the visual world of social media. It is meditation that is considered the ultimate form of relaxation in yoga, but we start to believe or are made to believe that it is the splits! And then our ego takes over and we start to push our bodies to get more and more flexible without it serving any purpose or function in our everyday life.
.
🌱 So, I want you to remember this the next time you think you can't start yoga because you're not flexible. Or that you’re not good at yoga because you can’t do the splits or headstands. Anyone can relax with Yoga and everyone must. 💖

My life’s top experiences
.
🌱Traveling the world in 2019.
.
🌱Varanasi Trip with Mom.
.
🌱 Watching Phantom of the Opera.
.
🌱Walking the Hadrian’s Trail for two weeks with my friend
.
🌱When my husband asked me to marry him.
.
🌱Finally standing up against everyone and walking out of my first marriage. Checking into a hotel for the night having no where else to go. And messaging my best friend - “I should be crying. But now I can’t stop feeling happy, it’s like happiness is happening non stop”. That moment was my own biggest surprise.
.
After months of crying everyday, driving up and down Sohna road for hours, unable to bring myself to go home after office…I was suddenly, totally unexpectedly happy after a very long time. All alone and homeless❤️.
.
Now, your turn. What’s your one top life experience?
