Getting back on track 💃


 Human brains are wired to be lazy. We are created in such a way that we always try to save energy by choosing the easiest path or do work which requires less energy. We procrastinate the rest. Sometimes we feel immensely motivated when we think of a task for example eating healthy or hitting the gym or preparing for interviews or exams. But halfway we loose motivation and start thinking why did we choose to do this in the first place. The main reason is burn out. Though motivation can help us start something it can't keep us on track and we often tend to loose track. Here are few ways to overcome this burn out. 

1) Start small: If you want to start working out start by splitting the routine into morning and night for 5 mins in each routine and you can gradually expand this. But most of us tend to do it for 30 mins - 45 mins per day and get body aches and quit in few days. 

2) Make it easy:  This to simplify our task. For example if u want to work out in the morning then set a time, keep ur clothes ready prev night. If u want to eat something healthy plan prior on buying groceries and if ur taking sprouts soak them the prev night to make it ready in the morning. If you have an exam to prep then take sometime to sort out the materials and question papers earlier so that when u actually plan on studying u can get to that task immediately instead of doing everything at once.

3) Move on from failures: This is very imp because whenever we start doing something we tend to imagine we will get the task done and be unprepared for failures. And if we encounter one we become deeply sad and disturbed and quit. I know failures hurt but we have to be often prepared for failures before handed.

 Failures can be simple like you not getting up to workout in the morning or little tough lik failing in a job interview. Either of the situation results in quitting the task. Instead we should continue working out the next morning or learn from mistake and apply for the next interview. I know its easier said than done but to keep moving forward we have to do it.

We can get back on track if we try the things mentioned above. If u still don't feel lik doing it you probably need a break to relax urself and refresh. Thank for reading this blog. bye😀

Stop overthinking and Do it

Hello Everyone. We always wanted to grow up and become adults while we were kids but now everyday we wish we were back to being kids once again enjoying the simple life except preparing for exams and the homework;). The best part about being a kid is the energy each one of us spread literally lighting up the room as soon as we enter. We used to bring smile on everyone’s face.   Hopping around everywhere, sometimes falling down is also okay because I fell from the first floor of my grandma’s home when I tried to pick fruits from a tree. Don’t panic I survived :P. I know that was dangerous but it was a learning process which helped me calculate the distance of the tree next time. Somewhere as we grew older we tend to loose the amazing energy and courage we had as kids and are often thinking about others opinions about us and on the work we do.   We are scared and are often a pessimist even before starting the things we want to do.  So whatever you want to do just start and ...

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1.  Cooking  -  Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...
