Let me share a small experience I had in my own house. It goes back to the time when I was pretty young and I was randomly observing my mother when I felt that she doesn’t really do things she likes or enjoys. Her day would start and end with working for me, my brother, my father, and the family altogether. She was always occupied with household chores and I could see the frustration building on her face. She looked stressed, lost and most importantly, not happy. Her face became dull. I felt really bad and I wanted to help her. I knew that she had a passion for yoga during her college days, so that was it.

I walked up to her and asked her to take Yoga sessions with me. She agreed and we scheduled a yoga session for the next day. That marked the beginning of the journey of SELF-CARE for my mother and she loved it. Even though I stopped doing yoga after a couple of weeks, she continued to practice Yoga everyday. To my surprise, she even started appreciating her other hobbies such as Skin Care, Cooking and Meditating. Over a period of time, probably after 4-5 months, my Grandma made an observation about my mother that her appearance had changed by a good margin. She was looking much happier, lively and more beautiful than ever. At that moment, I realized that my mother changed her routine a few months back, and everyone could see the positive changes in her.

This tale proved to be a live testimony for me to realize how valuable self-care is and how much it can help our Mental Health. I genuinely want people to have a self-care routine and follow it religiously as I have seen it really helps in one’s journey towards Mindfulness and Sanity. Take out some time everyday to focus on your mind, body and beauty. I promise it would be the best regular investment you’ll ever make.
