The last decade has seen quite overwhelming changes in the field of wellness. These times have pushed all of us to focus on our physical and mental well being. New tactics and wellness trends took the fore run to create routines that people now seem to follow judiciously. While many of these changes rose in response to the new normal with Covid, other popular fitness trends are surely here to stay for longer.

 Working out at home has been one step that was readily adapted with the pandemic. Although home workout regimes did exist in culture way before the pandemic started, the colossal change that marked records was how people were increasingly keen on making simpler everyday routines with workouts a part of them. As opposed to relying solely on gym equipment, taking walks, yoga, stretching on the terrace or as simply as following your favorite fitness influencers moves on a yoga mat became more in practice and more common. This is what experts denote ‘the evolution of home fitness’ which was all about staying healthy, conveniently at home. It is undeniable that post-covid people will soon flock back to gyms, but the trend here to stay is how physical activity has barred past the barricades of gym to be a part of everyday, with a more holistic approach today.

Experts explain how self-care has shifted from being less of novelty to becoming intrinsic part of our lives in the present time.  Businesses have introduced great array of products that make self-care easier. Handy self-care sets have entered in the market, which put all “CTM” steps into one handy kit, saving people from the hassle of running after, looking for individual products during the covid-crisis. Not only have people understood how we ought to make use of what’s available around, but also stick to products and services that are more effortless, accessible and workable to the-longer-run.

The trend of ‘eat fresh, eat local’ has been gaining strength in India as well as around the world. In truer terms, consumers are more interested than ever in finding out exactly what goes into the food products they buy for consumption. With health influencers taking the leap to debunk myths around hidden ingredients in products that hide behind medical-sounding jargon, people have been consciously picking what goes into their bodies. Adding C supplements or immunity boosters to everyday portion, the trend on food consciously has been one healthy change that surely needs to continue.

Finally, an increased awareness of mental health and mainstreaming conversations has been one of the best benefiting trends arising in the year. As the prolonged isolation from social life and the anxieties around the pandemic have been prevalent around, more people are seeking good-quality mental health care and support to cope up with the times. There has indeed been a rise in people who are reaching out to therapists and psychiatrists, or even using meditation and mindfulness apps to get started on their mental health journeys. In India, the sheer number of new mental health platforms, both online and offline ones, are clear markers of this positive induction that the year has witnessed.

The idea of ‘Perfectionism’ is essentially seen as one great marker of ambition, fire and hustle. Perfectionists would see the world in black and white, making accomplishments with all energy or otherwise, count all else as failures. While many might agree that the best way to get work done is doing it flawlessly, but there is something quite problematic with this school of thought!

It is not just our abilities to reflect from the world and learn that perfectionism won’t allow, but it links itself to feelings of fear, anxiety, pressure and even easy burnouts. Not only is being perfect an extremely exhausting process, it is an easy catalyst to negative self-talking. At the core of it, perfectionists often hold themselves back because of their high levels of self-criticism that makes them believe how things aren’t ‘good enough’ until they are absolutely perfect.

Studies confirm how people who chase perfection have the hardest time adapting to changes or being flexible in life. This inflexibility finds each expression when they cannot accept ideas that challenge theirs, find themselves worrying more in new situations and challenges or when having to think out of the box. Perfectionism, at its roots, settles as “fear to fail”- making a fixed mindset that doesn’t allow mistakes.

We miss out on so much of life’s great wonders when we use most of our attention and efforts in hours of doing work that otherwise can be done in far less time. Being creative and playful as well as having fun are indeed the best ways to get past stress and lead a life of enthusiasm.

When one starts to see beyond perfectionism, that’s when the spirit of wonder for life begins. In recovering from perfectionism, the first step is therefore to focus on the fun of simply living and experiencing- to value the process it takes us to the result. That being said, I believe that the best tips for one to be able to get past perfectionism with fun, joy and ease include easy, wholesome habits to start with-

Set realistic goals and expectations for yourself and for others.

Allow yourself to push out of the comfort zone and try new things.

Revisit your fears and question its roots. Self-introspect your way out.

Focus on your character and not your achievements.

Replace negative self-talk and criticism with positive affirmations. Compliment yourself often.

Allow mistakes, do things that you are terrible at!

The Power of Imagination is one of the greatest gifts ordained to men, that no other living creatures share. Our ability to see things beyond the immediate surroundings is so strongly placed that our minds can transport to different world with the mere thoughts of our head. We can so vividly imagine the future we are going to live, or at least the one we wish to live.

We day-dream constantly and it is natural to all humans alike. To reveal surprising facts, experts estimate that one person can have 60000 to 80000 thoughts on an average day! Our ability to imagine can in turn be a superpower that most of us aren’t aware of yet. Imagination can be used not just to escape reality and drift off to fantasies, but to create realities for us. Human civilization is the biggest symbolic showcasing betterment and advancement. The greatest inventions that transformed living for mankind, have also sprouted as ideas from individuals who dared to dream.

When we think of our head-space, we immediately realize how we’ve all thought of million ways the world could be better in our eyes. This in turn tells us how our ability to create the future is not just determined by the thought bubbles in our heads, but is also constrained by it. The greatest leaders to have walked the planet, showing mankind directions to the better world have also all been acclaimed visionaries and vivid thought leaders. To ask, how visionaries are made? It is in their ability to unleash imagination with courage, vividly and profoundly visualize dreams and give it energy to expand beyond.

A great deal of power in creating a vision comes from courage, energy, love and feelings you give to your imagination. At no point across history have leaders and inventions come to glory without support. Sharing your ideas and welcoming others’ is best to expand the capabilities of your reckless thoughts; giving them direction, advices, more knowledge and understanding and the courage to leap beyond.

To use this unique power in the best way possible, we draw back to Deepak Chopra’s quote, “The best use of imagination is creativity. The worst use of imagination is anxiety.”

We all get super excited with a sure shot of adrenaline rush whenever somebody talks about our favorite sport. In India, cricket is an “emotion” in itself, and we all have to agree with that hands down! We pour our hearts to cheer, to support, to engage and to enjoy.

Spectators and fans consider it as a part of their personal life - every victory being an exhilarating experience. For the players, crowd-participation is the driving force, it’s motivating, it brings thrill and inspiration. It is undeniable that the players harbor the emotions of an entire nation as they set foot on the playground.

Hence, the team is bound to feel a pull down each time they cannot give their best. A poor end of season performance equates to a massive feeling of ‘loss’ for many. It is seen as a ‘lost’ opportunity, a ‘lost’ reputation.

This feeling is not alien to our life routine too. Connecting the dots in real life, every time we invest ourselves to a goal or a set target, the bull’s eye is nothing but the victory, surrounding ourselves with internal as well as external pressure. This journey withholds equal amounts of excitement, struggle and dismay, making it no less than an adventure. Sports holds big lessons for life and so does life, for sports.

If one wants to obtain a high degree of confidence and quickly bounce back after a setback, they need to keep their head strong, have a mindset that picks them up rather than shames their fall. In the game and in life, there’s always another competition, another day, another opponent.

At the face of this, prepare yourself for failure as much as for success. Celebrate your victories but never feel ashamed of your defeats. As they say, “It’s always the lessons in life that keep repeating until you learn them.” – We ought to be thankful for every new lesson, new perspective encountered and every opportunity that tests our strength - because it only makes us stronger. You need to identify what is under your control and what only time can control. You need to stop victimizing yourself for anything that went south. As the world of spectators see you lose, they await to witness your win too!

New Year is around the corner and it is officially the last few days of year 2021. As the festive vibe surrounds us all, it is also the time to reflect. This is the best time we take notes of how we excelled through the year, what could have possibly gone better for us, and how this air can be a great start to take over the new year; and kick off a fantastic 2022.

As an after-effect of the pandemic that we have all been through, the world has started to rethink life in terms of work, society, wellness and community and leadership. This brings us to an amazing opportunity to reach new levels of aspirations as we take insights from the year. Prioritizing health and happiness has been more important than ever now. While we had our own varied experiences through the pandemic and through this year, the world collectively moves to seek better health solutions and create agile and aware citizens who understand the value of wellness in true terms.

As we list down our personal resolutions for 2022, it is time to prioritize health and happiness- to create a separate little space where you look after yourself, find work-life balance, seek fulfillment and satisfaction and start romanticizing life that is around you.

Declutter your space- This is the best practice that works miracles! Decluttering could mean anything you do to create more space in your life so that nothing stands in your way. Tidying up your immediate surrounding could give you a better mindset almost instantly. Decluttering could also work for your social and personal life, where you start prioritizing the people that share your vibe, let go of things, people and situations that bring you negativity. Work on your thoughts and identify the ones that are useful to your growth.

Customize your wellness journey- After some delicious and fat-festive meals, it is quite common that a lot of people make it to the gym in the beginning of the year, and gyms see the highest crowd only through the first weeks of January. After those days however, the initial excitement of getting a summer body slowly starts to fade and most of us go out of track, unable to keep up with those ridiculously vigorous exercise regimes we made resolutions about. Health Experts say that the best way to incorporate steps of healthy living is for one to find a routine that suits their existing life. You need to introduce healthy practices in your life progressively, but start by making a comfortable regime that you can stay consistent with.

Establish Routine- John C Maxwell quotes, “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret to your success is found in your daily routine.” Whatever goals you have for the year, be it learning, becoming stronger, better or more successful, it all starts with introducing the changes that your current routine lacks. Routines are huge parts of our every-days. And so, for example, if you want to make more peace in your life, giving 15 minutes a day to meditate and calm your body could reap great results in the longer run. When you plan things for yourself and stay consistent, it brings a great sense of control over life.

These three ideas can be great initial work to take up this December as we begin to foresee the coming year on the horizon to be filled with health, happiness and new spirits.
