Yoga with Nirosha

I am no expert but these are few reminders & activities which has helped me during some of my bad days and hoping it helps you as well :)

My first experience with meditation was actually kind of annoying. The moment I sat in place, the thoughts just couldn't stop flowing in, weird parts of my body started paining and itching and all I could ever think was when will this end.
It took me a while to get back & try meditating again & this is what I learnt from the process-

1. Meditation is like any other skill. You need to keep practicing, honing the skill to go deeper.

2. Unlike other skills where you train to be stronger, faster etc, in meditation you train your mind to just relax (trust me when I say it's more relaxing than sleeping ). Most people think meditation is about focus but in reality it's just a deep relaxation (you are basically giving your mind a break)

3. One of the easiest trick I found to go deeper in meditation was to do some form of exercise before. It helps your mind to be calmer because it's tired.

4. Always start by guided meditation before you progress further. There are multiple free guided meditation available in YouTube & Spotify. Some of the apps I like are Calm, Lojong, Insight Timer, Headspace. Or you can join any yoga class where the teacher can guide you.

Meditation has made my mind a little less chaotic, little less overwhelmed & a lot more happy and if that's what you want for yourself, then all you need to do is just try :)

Food has become a complex topic over the years because of our change in lifestyle and yearning to be fitter than before. Here I have just tried to breakdown a few FAQs that most people have in their journey to their fitter self.

If you have more queries you can write down in comments or dm me and I will try my best to answer them. :)

I had one of those hectic, anxiety filled time last week which led to a breaking point where I had to take a step back & forcefully calm my mind, retrospect and just exhale.

I believe there is light in the end of the end of the darkness : a bright light which won't make us forget our past, but will bring hope and make us stronger & grateful for what we have. For all those who are going through difficult times, just exhale & let this phase pass through, I promise there are better times ahead! :)
