2020 was a year that was set equally upon each one of us. We all were given an equal opportunity to reset ourselves. We all had to fight our demons or face them none the least.

Most people had to face – being by themselves. Everyone was getting health conscious, money conscious, food conscious, storage conscious and basically a lot of awareness was sinking in humans. 

I, for once, thought a lot about wastage. I was wasting less, using how much was required. I realized I need much less than I thought I need and lesser than I already have. That was a great realization.

I was one of those who still woke up early morning and saw the sunrise (or almost) and made it a practice to sleep by 10 pm or around. It wasn’t awkward for me at all. I do awkward things which are totally normal as per my standards. This is one of them.

I was watchful of how much I was eating. I started teaching home workouts and taking Yoga classes for people. That was a first for me in so many years, in spite of having a background in yoga and fitness. 

Staying away from negative thoughts and negativity help me the most. That also means that I lost touch with people who had nothing positive or productive to say and do. It was difficult. It was difficult to not slip into conversations with friends who would repeat COVID stories all the time. 

Many people preached how COVID has shut everything down and now is the time to take the journey inward. None, that I know, practiced it. Or maybe 1 or 2 did to look good on social media. Today 1 year after Lockdown I see them back to what they were. No judgements. But it’s a pity. Isn’t it?

I learnt it the hard way that the one person who I should always keep happy is myself. And I strive each day to something that I like to do and I do it with all my heart.

I finished my graduation in Health coaching in past 1 year, and studied virtually through out.

I learnt to break things down in parts so make them achievable. And sometimes achievement feels good, motivates one self. 

If you are reading this, then I’d like to thank you with all my heart, and tell you that you can reach out to me if you’d like. I will do my best to give you confidence and build small practices that’ll help you evolve from where you are at.

Here are my top 10’s from last year:

1. Energy flows where attention goes. Think well.
2. Words have a lot of power, speak well about yourself when you do.
3. Practice new habits, do not underestimate power of starting small.
4. Your story is your story, not other persons story, so don’t judge them.
5. Believe. Have faith and trust. We all lack this simple quality.
6. Nothing happens without any reason. When the time is bad, let it pass quietly and be patient and strong.
7. If there is sunshine, there is a reason to feel hopeful. 
8. Breathe. This simple process has tremendous power.
9. Eat well, eat simple, think bright & find happiness – these are hand-in-glove!
10. Hug yourself and tell. “I love myself” right now!

Until next time
