Like so many people, I had been waking up with ANXIETY in the first week of this lockdown... I would get up and immediately check the death toll from this lethal virus and feel extremely sad ☹️ I'd worry about the migrant labour, daily wagers and the homeless people, have sleepless nights after looking at their images or watching the news ... The thought of the crashing economy would make me so nervous... I felt, I could tap into the energy of the universe and it was so heavy.

What is health? Yes, it is fitness of body and mind. Yes, this is achievable through regular physical exercise and healthy eating habits. But what i have learnt to understand over the years is good health is intrinsically connected to the health of the environment. Clean air, clean soil, clean seas, clean food and regular interaction in open spaces with nature. This leads to balance. This #WorldHealthDay i want to acknowledge our sanitation workers. They work in the most challenging conditions and are most often ignored and neglected by society. Especially during this time when they continue to work everyday to manage bio-medical waste and all the waste we continue to produce while we stay home. They are HEROES. @my_bmc Thinking of all these good people today ?? and offering them my gratitude. @pragyakapoor_ this is from our beach clean up activity on Republic Day.

It is quite difficult to look at the positive side when everything around us is so negative. Not being able to visit my family back home, where my father requires extensive medical care everyday, my mother being the one taking care of him at this point of time, my brother-in-law having to be a frontliner being a doctor with his children at home, hearing them say how difficult it is to get even mere essentials and reading different articles about how tough it has been for everybody, doesn’t do any good to my mental health. And I can imagine how each one of you must be facing difficulties one way or the other. So considering how negative everything has been, let’s all give ourselves a break. A break from all the “should be”, “have to be”, “could haves”. Do whatever you feel like. If you feel like reading, read. Feeling like baking and eating a cake, do it. Feel like working out, work out. Feel like not doing anything, yep do that as well. You don’t have to acquire different skillsets and come out of this lockdown as a new person, you don’t have to have a perfect body coming out of this lockdown, no! Let’s just keep ourselves sane and just be as we are. Don’t put extra pressure on yourself. Processing something so strange takes a lot out of us, so you be you. Give yourself the love that you deserve. Because our health depends on our physical, mental and spiritual health. Self love is what we need right now. Allow yourself to be you. #worldhealthday . #beyourself #everyday #loveyourself #positivity #patience #yoga #vriksasana
