Motherhood is a rollercoaster of emotions. It brings the joy and happiness in mother's life but also brings the challenges and questions along "Am I doing it right?". But I guess there is no perfect way of parenting, no step by step guide to follow. It's more of a journey with love and mistakes. Motherhood is heroism because no one knows how to love unselfishly as a mother.

To all the mothers out there; you are not alone, It is okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. But in this phase it is equally important to prioritize self-care. Remove some time for yourself to focus on your energy and growth too.

Nadi Parishka is an ancient Ayurvedic technique for diagnosing a person's physical and mental health. 
Through this method, a personalised wellness regime can be established that includes various aspects of life - diet, lifestyle, yoga and meditation. It's interesting that you can get to know your inner world through your wrist. Ayurveda is a natural way to cure illnesses and bring balance to our body. 
However, this depends on the vibrations in our body. Stay positive, good vibes are important for health. 

Last year, the whole world was going through a hard time. When the only option was to stay home, the global pandemic made us realize the small joys and we decided to let our gratitude take over the fear of virus. We decided to cherish the small things, to care about health over money, and most importantly, to be more grateful everyday for everything. 

My way of being mindful during those times was to have a centered mind, doing yoga on my 24×76 mat. That yoga mat became my zone of positivity, the space for my mental health and helped me stay strong each day. 

Remember to count your blessings, that you have a meal to eat, a house to live in and a healthy family beside you.

Our life has many different phases. Sometimes, dark nights are triggered by crisis and the results are emptiness and deep spiritual calling.
Once you detach yourself from those psychological concepts and drama and employ techniques such as mediation to help connect with true yourself, you will see yourself evolving.  

Phases will come and go, but life is made of much more than these. We all are connected by the universe's energy which helps us to grow and move forward.  

Remember, there is no growth without pain and no light without the dark.

Childhood is the most important part of our lives. It has a huge impact on our adult life. Our early days decide what the next step for us will be. They either make or break us. The values and belief systems we grew up with go long way with us. 

Though the lessons learned in childhood are powerful, they don't have to limit us. 
The other way is to realize and accept our issues, analyze them and then choose the right path. 

In this episode, hear Esha's story. How her childhood impacts her life and how she overcomes her depression. Meditation is like a calm sea in this chaotic world. We feel at peace within once we hear the sound of waves. Once you start taking some time for yourself, you will find inner peace; like Esha found hers in meditation. She left the battle of depression she was facing behind. 

To everyone listening this episode, put yourself first over everything and prioritise your mental health.

Most of the time, we feel uncomfortable when we're alone. We often associate being alone with being unloved. We fear being alone, but why is that?

We never spend as much time with ourselves, never acknowledge our own thoughts; so the thought of being alone leads to anxiety and pressure.

Well, once you realize that the key is having the right mindset: one of self- love. The relationship you have with yourself is important. Working on yourself, healing from the past, and keeping yourself physically and mentally healthy.

It is important to know that sometimes isolation is about teaching you to be self-sufficient, to be there for yourself no matter what. Often, your internal dialogue is the game changer - for better or for worse. It can motivate as well as demotivate you.

On this World Mental Health Day, remember that taking care of your mental health is one of the most important parts of self-care. Practice being comfortable in your own company and be present with your thoughts.

Love, appreciate, encourage, and accept yourself unconditionally.

Everyday can't be the same, and especially in COVID times, where everyone is trying to make sense of everything going on, it's okay to have low moments. Let your low moments or  breaking points be the catalyst of change and make you strong and you will emerge more powerful. 

From your darkest phase, you will learn the most in life. Give yourself some time to befriend those feelings of sadness and anxiety. Allow yourself to feel them and move past them. My technique of meditation, breathing exercises bring me back to the center. It really helped me.

Get enough sleep, give yourself break, understand your limits. Remember, you will always make it through.
