Hope you all are doing well and staying safe inside! It's been a long time now that I've been active on posts and even in my stories I've been irregular, but I'm back now and I really missed being here, in my wellness space! Exactly one year back I started posting seriously and made some significant changes in my lifestyle and daily habits. Of course it's been a roller coaster ride for me Like everyone else Some weeks I feel good I have a perfect sleep wale cycle everything is on track and the next week I might be overloaded with work or not in good mood causing less sleep and sitting all day, skipping the workouts or to do the things I really like! But through all of it I'm still learning I'm still trying to improve And most of all I don't give up But if you don't keep your efforts consistent it all might go in vein! So, that's my goal for September To inculcate habit changes as a lifestyle and have resilience! What's yours? Tell me in the comments! #pcos#pcosawareness#pcod#lifestylechanges https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSFhMMMcJ4/?utm_medium=tumblr

We live in the Stories we create! What we tell repeatedly to ourselves.... Becomes our reality... Same is the thing with situations we are stuck in... Many times the problems are heavier in the mind than in reality, because we think so., Because we fed it that way inside. We can't control what's going on outside, but to deal with it in right way we need to keep our inside in check. Few ways are there like doing Yoga, meditation, doing some introspection, being honest with yourself or even finding a teacher! Find out what you need to do, and then do it! https://www.instagram.com/p/CPANLRDBQ9_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mahatma Gandhi said this once, “It is health which is real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver”. Now that’s one adage, which has covid19 also made us realise. If you have the health, nobody can stop you from achieving all the gold or silver or whatever it is that you are after. 'An unhealthy body weakens the mind’ The food we eat has a direct implication on our health. Whether we are obese, diabetic, have a heart condition, tired or energetic; it’s all because of the food that our body intakes. All unhealthy symptoms are the body telling in its way, to do something about the lifestyle and eating habits. Of course, there are medicines to cure or mask all those symptoms. But, if by making a healthy change to the lifestyle, one can reduce dependency on medicines, then, why not? Rest well, eat well and move well! #weightloss #heal #love #shine #healthiswealth #pcos (at WorldTruth) https://www.instagram.com/p/COx21FTBg7S/?igshid=vd5g83xotnvr

When COVID-19 patient count started surging the this year again I was really discouraged. Disappointed.. Disheartening news we get everyday now! Evanescent of life makes you question everything you are struggling for . Is it worth it? Or is it just a meaningless chase? And no one gets spared from such a thoughts or feelings... When things don't work out as we plan the best way is let go and understand that things those are not in your control are better kept away from your expectation list. We can watch movies, listen to songs, talk to our friends, binge eat or oversleep just to make us feel good.Everyone have their own way to deal. But in a long way that won't solve anything or change the situation. So, first start with sitting with your own feelings, your own discomfort. Instead of avoiding the inconvenience, go through it. Let it process through! Then once you are settled start focusing on your priorities, review your actions, align with your goals, change your habits! And this is a cycle that starts with acceptance and ends with resilience, mindfulness and discipline! Take Care Everyone 🌸 #healloveshine #pcos #pcodfighter #love #mentalHealth https://www.instagram.com/p/COm8qMrBRaD/?igshid=r2hpv6l7cl8m

Last weekend I made these delicious 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐂𝐎 𝐎𝐀𝐓𝐒 🍪 And most of my frds here wanted the receipe.. . . So a Very quick receipe of these cookies I made without refined flour, refined oil or refined sugar🤎 Start with keeping a Kadhai on medium heat. Keep a plate in between as we do for steaming Modaks but without water. Cover this plate with butter paper and sprinkle some flour on it. And cover the kadhai with its lid Keep it for 10 mins. Mix below ingredients together: Oats - 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour - 1/4 cup Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp Baking Powder - 1/4 tsp Salt - a pinch Yogurt - 2 tbsp Brown Sugar - 1/4 cup Melted Dark Chocolate - 60 grams Ghee / Butter - 25 grams Cocoa Powder - 1/8 cup Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tsp Choco Chips ( only keep these aside ) Now here I've used homemade ghee And @fastandup_india Plant based protein to make them more nutritious! You can also try coconut sugar, raw sugar or jaggery power instead of brown sugar! If you still think the mixture is dry, add some more butter or ghee. Make equal balls, 6 to 8 cookies can be made with this much amount of quantities. Place these balls on the plate in the kadhai. And then flatten with the help of spoon and garnish with some choco chips! Once done cover the lid again and let them bake for 15 mins! Well they will be soft at this time. Take the plate out and let it cool down for half an hour!

The most amazing Yellow Fruit 🍌 Which Indian people are generally afraid for putting on weight😁 But still remains readily available and cheapest fruit across the country! Buy baby bananas or cut one regular-sized banana in half. 1/2 of a large banana or 1 small banana counts as a one serve. Bananas are rich in potassium, which regulates blood pressure, and are a good source of B vitamins, which help maintain blood sugar levels. Eating too many carbohydrates at one time will cause glucose and insulin levels to spike. So enjoy a small a piece of fruit as a snack between meals or include fruit in a protein-rich, low-carbohydrate meal, such as an oatmeal with banana on the side. 🍌 Blood Pressure Regulator It is not uncommon for women with PCOS to have high blood pressure. Bananas are great for this. They contain low amounts of sodium, or salt, and are also high in potassium and magnesium. 🍌 Great for Digestion The high fibre content of bananas and the natural mineral relaxer, magnesium, are a natural remedy to ease and prevent constipation. 🍌 Better digestive function is also important for weight loss, hormonal balance (especially oestrogen), insulin sensitivity, and optimal digestion and absorption of the nutrients in our foods and drinks. 🍌 Bananas are respectable sources of vitamin C You may not associate bananas with vitamin C but a medium-sized banana will provide about 10% of your daily vitamin C needs. 🍌Bananas give you energy – minus the fats and cholesterol 🍌 Lastly Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid that may help preserve memory, boost a person’s ability to learn and remember things, and regulate mood. So without any second thoughts Add bananas to your food plan and enjoy them regularly. After all, they are delicious and good for us!

Love yourself ❤️ Your body, how it looks how it supports you. It supports evry transaction you go through emotionally , mentally and physically too. We alway criticize our own body and silently compare ourselves with other people and perfectly looking body types. And that doesn't helps. Everyone is so unique and have thier own journey. And it makes no sense to do this comparison. I have seen many young girls/boys saying I hate my this or that. Like my brother he says he has fat thighs but the reality is he has perfect thighs ! perfect BMI ! When you hate your own body, you are being unappreciative. And you'll definitely workout to make it look like you DESIRE. And it can make you go by the ways where you might lose balance. Balance of diet and exercise. Balance of mind and body. Even if you achieve the body you desire it will cause imbalance in other aspect of life. Like one may feel always frustrated for even little fat or Irregularity on your body. Or one will give up certain food class permanently and cause a fobia, deficiency, injuries! Then you will pop up the supplements to cope up the defeciency. Things work differently when you love your body. You always seek out balance and let your body and mind lead you. Once you have your heart in your body you will choose what you let in IN YOURSELF very wisely. If you seat for longer hours your body automatically gives you sign to stand up,asks to strech! Once you start loving yourself you eat what will be better for your health your internal organs.... That includes your taste buds too... When you love yourself you buy cloths you're sure you look good into now .. Instead of postponing it to the time when you will look good. Basically looking good is much more of a myth and just an illusion Unless you feel good inside and out Agree!? #pcos #pcossupport #pcodfigher #mentalhealthawareness #bodypositive #motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsRUw3BbRB/?igshid=1nfmpnqln9prc

A disease can only take hold in a woman when her shakti is depleted and her rhythms are out of sync with mother moon. Sri Swamini Mayatitananda Look at the world around you and observe a multitude of rhythmic cycles. There is the 24-hour cycle of the sun as it revolves around the earth: as each day becomes night and then becomes day again. There is the rhythmic cycle of each season merging into the next: the winter snows melt, the seedlings sprout, the sun beats its rays on a warm sunny day, and the leaves begin to dry up and fall and float away. There is the rhythmic cycle of aging: the sweet and expansive nature of a baby, the ambitions of a teen and an adult, and the contemplative nature of our elders. As women, we have additional senses of rhythm that connect us to the cycles of the moon. Each month, a woman’s body has the ability to cleanse and rejuvenate itself through her menses. It used to be in traditional cultures, that women would menstruate together during the dark night of the new moon. During this time they would gather to support one another in a journey of deep introspection. During the night of the dark moon, when there is no moon in the sky, women are encouraged to look within and practice introspection. It is believed that her energy, in relationship to the moon, is at its lowest point. To safe guard her well-being, she is advised to spend time in quietude, rest, and inward reflection. When the moon is full, women are at their highest point energetically. She is encouraged to be more externally expansive, to get involved socially, and to finish long-term projects. Ayurveda teaches that this cyclical sway of energy exists inside each woman to cause her to wax and wane between experiences of self-inquiry and interactions with the external world. In Ayurveda, the shakti prana of every woman exists in her womb. Her strength is found here and affects her on every level of her health. The cycles, the wax and wane, the natural emotional flow of the female is regarded as sacred. Ayurveda teaches that it is interwoven within a woman’s DNA to be an emotional being that fluctuates in emotional experience. This emotion is what makes her beautiful! https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnWsv7hXck/?igshid=1aklaiimdsob5

Panchami, The fifth day, is well portraited with the colour Royal Blue. The devotees worship Goddess Skandamata. This colour represents the divine energy, superiority and intelligence. One habit that I started few years back when I was undergoing a stressful times was gazing at the sky and I found it quit relaxing. Even not knowing the science behind it or what's exactly happening. Why looking at the sky is a pleasure? The sky is beautiful How soothing the sky’s blue or sometimes red is to the eyes! And how beautifully it changes its color with the seasons. the sky is not man-made like thinking, emotions or unhappiness. The sky is natural. It’s just there, and That’s why the sky has the power to pull you out of your problems and into the present moment — all you got to do is look at it. The sky has only the good, only the beautiful in it — which is life free of conditions. That’s a good reason to start looking at it, isn’t it? — To see some beauty and unconditioned life and to be free of your problems at least for a little while in your busy day. You will start to really appreciate this once you can recognize the effect for yourself. The sky is at a distance How much time of our day is spent looking at close objects? Looking at this screen, looking at that screen. Reading this, reading that, concentrating on this, concentrating on that. All this does is tighten up your eyes — which are some of the most complex organs in your body. Not only does it have physiological effects on you such, as tightening the muscles in your body and inducing headaches, but also psychological effects, which often go unnoticed and remain subconscious. You become shortsighted, lose yourself in tunnel vision and get tangled up in problems. Look at the sky to break this tendency. Looking at a distance. Clouds remind you: All is passing When you look at the sky invariably you see the movement of the clouds — sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes this direction, sometimes another. Clouds represent the circumstances of your life. They should remind you that all is passing, and that life goes on.

It starts from you❤️ Many times we keep blaming situation or environment or the unhealthy lifestyle, culture for our unhealthy body and mind. But We can always take charge of our own Health and fitness. And rely on no one for any of our habits or lifestyle. Because once you start doing it people around you start to change as well. Most of the times we waste time in such excuses and problems with surrounding but once the time is gone the problem multiplies and we can't do nothing much about it but get stressed. Once you understand that your health is your responsibility and you have make it happen, you have to change your life everything else will change eventually. Of course it takes time, but it does. Whatever you carry in your mind, our mind carries it in your body. If you are eating PURI SABJI and at the same time thinking about gaining weight you'll of course gain weight. You become what you feed to your body and mind! So try to shift your attitude from " Why this is happening to me " to " okay, this has happened and I want/need to change it, make my fitness and health my priority, I'll be incharge and responsible for it. I have to keep learning and enjoying the process instead of stressing over the target!"
