Never stop learning new things. We all have plants in our home. What we do, water them, put fertilizer, timely cutting. After cutting, the plant never refuse to grow, instead the new leaves and branches are more strong and beautiful than before. Learn from the plants, forget all your past painful experiences cut off from toxic people, learn new skills and grow. More strong, more beautiful.
We do exercise daily to be active, so that our body be in shape. Brain also needs to be in shape and active, for that we need to do something new daily, learn new things, evolve in some creative things. We all eat and make food at home. We follow the same receipe which our mom has taught us, isn’t it? For a change, try to do some innovation, follow the same receipe with a twist. I am sure all will enjoy the twist and makes them happy. You too will also involve your brain in thinking how to make the receipe more interesting. You will learn, without spending a penny. All in your family are happy including you. Learning doesn’t mean you have to go and join any course. You can learn new things at home itself. There is so much content available online. You just have to know, what you want to learn. What is your area of interest.
Every day new things are developing, new technology overtaking the old one. We must always be updated. There is no harm to adapt new things. Learn about new technology. Old is gold but new is also not less than gold. You can pray or meditate in morning and still be a swiftie. Be aware of what is going on in the world. Stay connected. Learning is growing. When you stop learning you stop growing.
Never say you know everything. Always have an open mind and learn.
Men should learn how to cook. When both men and women cooks in family. The dependency on outside unhygienic food becomes less. So, automatically there is less chance to get ill. Healthy family happy family. My mom and dad both were working and my dad knows how to cook. At times when our mom was not well our dad used to cook and pack our tiffin. He is 74 and still cooks. Cooking is an art learned by many but mastered by few.
Teach your son how to make his bed, how to wash utensils and cloths,how to cook. When he will have to go for higher studies, these things will help him a lot. My son knows how to cook.
As we are all aware of effects of climate change. We have to take prompt action together as one world one earth 🌎. Don’t wait for Earth Hour 2024 and start from every month rather every week.
Take a pledge to switch off all electrical appliances for 1 Hour every month or if possible every week. It’s very important to ACT NOW.
Save Environment, Save Earth 🌎. Happy Earth, Happy world.
I recently learned to make a toffee. Very easy recipe which I watched on a food channel named food food and it’s a recipe of famous chef Sanjeev Kapoor. I will give it a try. Hope I make the same way it was shown.
When did you wake up in the morning today? Are you a morning person? If yes, you are blessed. Mornings are cool, it sets the mood of whole day. Whatever you do in the morning, you remember it the whole day. Doing prayer, singing song, feeling happy, doing workout, enjoying your tea or coffeeetc.
I choose to publish this blog in the morning. We feel fresh in the mornings, after sleeping, when we wake up and our batteries are fully charged. Give a positive start to a new day with a smile. Just feel the morning breeze, it’s telling you, your day will be fantastic.
Being a morning person what I enjoy about early mornings is, its peaceful, it gives you edge over others. You can utilise early morning time doing workouts, prayers, students can learn new lesson.
Forget what happened yesterday, forget what will happen tomorrow just focus on today in the morning. The coffee which you have in the mornings tastes different which you have other time of the day. It’s so refreshing, just like mornings.
Don’t rush to do things in the mornings. Take a deep breathe. See your face in the mirror and smile. Feel and always stay focused that you are important. Mornings can do magic.
Little things in life, sometimes matters the most. The morning vibes are so blissful. Give yourself 2-3 minutes, sit in silence and feel it. We readers are very calm people, want to live in our space, without disturbing others keep reading, keep learning, keep growing. Bloggers are good readers too.
The work which we do in morning doesn’t make us so tired because we are full of energy in the morning. Try to write your blogs in the morning because we are not affected by the outside world in the mornings. Our mind is so fresh and full of ideas 💡.
Mornings are important for each and everyone of us. Regardless of in which profession we are, irrespective of our age. Mornings are good for all of us. Those who wake up late can try to wake up early atleast one day. I am sure they will not regret it.
Enjoy your mornings. Always be surrounded by happiness.
I ❤️ Taylor Swift, I am a Swiftie. Are you a Swiftie too? I am listening to her songs since so many years. My favourites are ‘you belong with me and love story’. All swifties know the magic of Taylor Swift.
Her Eras Tour which started in March this year is still on and is till August 2024. Covering almost all the countries of the world. But I am a little disappointed that there is no performace of her’s in India. I wish and hope she (Taylor Swift) performs in India too.
What can I say or write about Taylor Swift, she is a global super star singer. The way she sings, her presence on stage, her personality, her vibes can be felt virtually. I love the way Taylor Swift treats Salena Gomez, one of my favorites.
I will share my proof of being a Swiftie.
We always talk about happiness, you too might be fan or admirer of anyone. Do comment who do you admire the most or you are fan of whom? The person, just by seeing him/her you are filled with happiness.
Be strong. If you believe you are right. What you are doing is right, just do your thing. Stay focused on people who loves you, people who support you, one single bad comment can’t take the happiness of being loved by so many people around the world. Ignore and forget about bad experiences.
You should be emotionally so strong that no one can ever dare to harm you. Always focus on good things in life. They are the blessings of God. People who loves you, prayed for you, supported you throughout, are your people. Toxic people makes us realise the value of good souls.
Have fun, do what you love to do. Right people will always stay. Cherish them, be happy that they are with you. Respect their presence.
Love and respect yourself too. When you start loving yourself you always think to improve yourself, you give permission to be yourself, you always want to learn new things, be a part of good things. Be so busy in improving yourself that you forget all silly things. Visit a place of worship, go shopping, visit a park. Be with like-minded people. When you be with like-minded people you feel more happy, you feel connected. You learn from each other, you gain knowledge. Your mind becomes creative.
You can also be with an infant, you will learn how to smile without any reason, be with a kid, you will learn how innocent they are, be with a child you will learn from his/her silly questions. Be with a teenager you will learn about new technology. Be with young people you will learn how to have fun. Be with old, learn from their experiences.
Everyone has their own way of living life. Live your’s the way you want to and let others live their lives their own way. Focus on improving yourself, indulge in any creative art, be a part of group of people who are engaged in helping others. It will make you happy. Everyone of us have the ability to be kind to others. Spread kindness, spread love, spread happiness.
Be strong mentally, physically and emotionally. When you are physically active your mental health automatically improves. When you have good physical and mental health you will definately be emotionally strong too. To be strong you have to be focused. Focused on what’s important for you. Excercise, workouts improves your inner strength and when you are able to do things which you were struggling to do otherwise it makes you happy.
I don’t know how many of you are interested to know about my weightloss journey, but my coach and friend, Prashansa suggested me to write a blog on it as she was and is with me throughout this journey. I hope you all find it inspiring and interesting. So let’s start-
Ramneet Kaur
Let me first tell you what was the reason behind joining a weightloss program. Last year in 2022 we went to Dubai for vacation there when we were at Desert Safari, we all were clicking pictures and suddenly the cab driver who was clicking pics said to a group of ladies, “jump and I will click your pictures”. All three of them jumped so high, the ladies were overweight and jumped very easily two three times. Now came our turn, he said to our family, jump. Surprisingly I was unable to jump even a single inch. This moment was the turning point of my life I must say. My mind was wandering, why I was not being able to jump, there were so many questions rising in my mind. Strange isn’t it? Anyways we enjoyed our vacations and came back to India on 29th June, 2022.
As I am a very health cautious person, always watching health related videos and post online. But irony is, only watching them will not make you healthy. You have to take right decision at right time. So, I decided to join a weightloss program within 2 days. I didn’t ask anyone, decided myself, and the weightloss journey started on 1 July 2022.
We women think about our family first and take our health for granted. But every women should take their health seriously. I used to say to my friends you should take care of yourself so that you can take care of your entire family. Recently, someone said the same to me.
So, coming back to the weightloss journey. It started in the month of July, 2022. I had two coaches, a diet coach, Mandeep and fitness coach Prashansa. They both interacted with me on call and designed a diet plan and workout plan according to my capabilities and choices. First month was very challenging, I had to change my eating habits, do workouts daily. What I ate, how much protein, carbs,fiber, fat is being consumed in a day was all tracked on the healthifyme app and workout was also tracked daily. Then slowly it became my habit to log food and workout. I was not at all good at doing workouts first few months. Because by following diet plan only I loose so much weight. My fitness coach used to scold me, screamed, gets angry many times. Diet coach and fitness coach always keep a check on me. I connect on call every fortnight with them. It took time for my body to adapt to changes.
I always took workouts for granted honestly. Keep on giving excuses, today I went somewhere, today it was so hot, today it is so cold that’s why I had not done my workout. But, my fitness coach didn’t lose hope, keep motivating, keep modifying my workouts accordingly. I was very much interactive with my diet coach she with vast experience had all the solutions to any challenges which I faced. Unfortunately she left the organisation and a new diet coach was assigned to me. The day she left, my fitness coach was also on leave. I dropped a message in the app where we had a group with coaches to chat with them anytime, that, I need to talk to my fitness coach. My fitness coach, Prashansa called me up, she was ill still she called me and check about my health. I was moved by her dedication towards her job and caring nature. On new year eve i.e 31 Dec, 2022 took a resolution that I will excercise regularly and eat healthy. I stick to it till now thank God. Everything was going well before the assignment of new diet coach. From Feb 2023 to may 2023 I was only relying on workouts because my fitness coach was the same but my new diet coach was not as good as Mandeep. I got struck I was not loosing weight, was very disappointed and low just about to give up. Then I booked a call with my fitness coach and tell her about the situation. She scolded me. She said you have come this far and loose good amount of weight why are you giving up. At that point I told her I am not being able to follow diet plan, didn’t said a single word against new diet coach.
Confused what to do. Then I decided if I had to continue the weightloss journey then I had to change my diet coach. It was Monday morning at 6:15 am I assigned a new diet coach for me. My third diet coach is Priya. She understand what I expect from my diet coach and now I am happy to have Priya as my diet coach. Prashansa, my fitness coach took good care of me while I was struggling and about to give up. Her love, care, understanding saved me from giving up.
In weightloss journey our thinking totally change. We always think about eating right, eating healthy. The grocery we used to buy earlier now has new healthy options. I have learnt a lot from Mandeep ( my first diet coach) and Prashansa ( my fitness coach).
Now I do workouts, strength training regularly and enjoy it too. Thank you to my fitness coach. This change from making excuses to enjoying workout is because of her faith in me. My weightloss journey is still on will soon achieve my target weight. While on this journey you only and only think about how to be fit, active and eat right. Your conversation with other family members changes. When you visit anyone you do try to avoid unhealthy stuff as much as possible. The control and choosing healthy over unhealthy is all about this journey. When this control and choice becomes your lifestyle you are a winner along with your coaches, because without their guidance this journey was not possible.
While attending any function or party we keep a check on portion, because when we attend any such function we have the tendency to overeat. My weightloss journey was full of highs and lows but I am happy that I took a right decision at right time and lucky enough to have coaches like Mandeep, Prashansa and Priya.
Thank you for reading till the end. Hope you will also make healthy eating and excercise your lifestyle.
