For a good night's sleep

Sleep is precious. And you surely can't buy it! 

Do you wake up feeling refreshed all excited to kick start your day or do you feel sluggish like you could have slept better? 

Here are a few tips that might help you plan yourself before you retire to bed. Rest assured you will wake up feeling you slept like a baby! This requires just a tiny adjustment to your daily routine before going to bed!

 1) Personal Hygiene:

Eyes: Splash water in your eyes and wash off pollution or any make up that may have accumulated or applied during the course of the day. Even better, shower!

Nose: Wash your face thoroughly and learn the art of practicing Jal Neti daily. Jal Neti is a nasal  cleansing kriya that will keep your headache's at bay and kill those germs that cause infections. 

Teeth: Brush/floss your teeth before sleeping. You will be doing yourself a huge favour! 

Skin: Dont forget to apply your night face cream and lip balm. Moisturize your entire body if you prefer a shower. 

Remember, that sleep is the only time your body gets to repair itself. By practicing this regime, you will gradually see the difference. Your face will restore its health and you will also breathe better while sleeping. 

2) Milk, medication and water:

A glass of milk before hitting the bed gives a peaceful sleep. Take your vitamin tabs or other medication as prescribed by your doctor. Keep a bottle of drinking water by your beside even if you do not use it as often. This will give you an uninterrupted sleep even if you wake up to drink a sip.  

3) Stay planned for the next day:

Write: Place a manual planner by your beside. Pen down the chores you plan to visit the next day. This will not only help you stay planned but also give you immense pleasure as you tick off completed tasks off your to-do list. 

Bedroom rules: Go to bed only to sleep. Digitally detox. It's best if you do not install your TV in the bedroom. Screen time consumes your energy and causes strain to your eyes and mind knowingly or unknowingly. Keep your mobile phone away from you and wake up to your sweet alarm tune! 



I hope when you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, you see how divine you are! 

Doing right by yourself never goes outta style!

Break the Mental Health stigma

Image
Huge respect to all people already seeking psychiatrist help. You are not crazy my friend, in fact, it's a sure sign of your mighty strength, courage, self-awareness and valour.  Generally, people who experience mental illness simply choose not to seek professional help for a certain stigma attached to it. It's time we talk about seeking mental health openly without any fear. Sufferers do realize the extent of damage they cause themselves by not seeking professional help and choose to suffer in silence. All this just to avoid being judged or discriminated by their own people, leave apart the rest of the world. Most sufferers have zero awareness about their mental disorders neither they have any help from their families, communities or otherwise.  Most often, people who consult a counsellor do not suffer from a serious mental disorder or illness. By this I mean symptoms of depression, anger, career choices, trouble with making decisions, end of a romantic relationship, addiction

Spitting in public is not your birthright!

Image
Spitting in public comes naturally to our shameless majority who think they have the right to do so freely. It has become a way of life for them! Be it our famous paan or mucus laced with phlegm, its hit every ground, each wall, each corridor of offices, cinema halls, government departments and other public places! I haven't had the privilege to visit any public property yet without the absence of compulsive spitting culprits!  Spitting in public is an offense and must be dealt with seriously. But so far all the public awareness initiatives taken up by the government to educate the masses have all gone in vain. How can this nasty habit be curbed!   The covid-19 pandemic has been another timely eye opener, but does that mean spitting will ever end in our country? There is no better time than now. Wake up India!  It's difficult to travel even 1km without having to come across 10 people or more spitting on the road. Fines should be levied instantly on people found spitting, traffi
