A few years back, I went on a vacation with a group of friends to Pondicherry. There was one girl in that group who was studying to become a nutritionist and was about to complete her Masters degree. It was a 2 day trip and now normally when I am on a vacation, I cheat on my food and eat the local cuisine or visit different cafes. Because it was Pondicherry, we ended up eating a lot of pizza and junk food.
Now on day 2, we visited the Aurobindo ashram and got a bit late in eating our lunch- it was almost 4pm. I know my body well and that if I end up eating something difficult to digest or spicy food after my regular lunch hours, I can get very bloated. The girl whom i mentioned earlier who is a nutritionist ended up eating a plate of noodles and some pizza. After 2 hours she started feeling indigestion and had to pop some pills because of that- she already had a wide array of digestive and stomach pills with her ready in the bag.
Now, the reason what I am mentioning here- is that being a physiotherapist myself I realized that if i want to be educating people on the correct lifestyle choices and staying healthy, i should myself be fit and look after my own health. More than anything, i should be knowing my own body very well and what suits me or what does not.
I did not want to judge that girl but this was a pretty important lesson which i learnt at that time and it sticks with me every time I DONT move my body or skip one day of working out. Since 2-3 years I have been experimenting with different things to see what suits my body and i have finally found my own mojo, what works well for my body. Still, it is a learning process and trying out different things is always a part of it.
But since it took me almost 3 years to really figure out what to exactly eat or do for my body, I don’t wish the same for anyone else. The aim behind creating this Lifestyle Program is to make sure that i explain the concepts well to the ones who attend it and make them INDEPENDENT in curating a healthy lifestyle for themselves.
Question for this week- Are you happy with the current lifestyle you are living or would you like to make some changes to it?
Quote for this week:
When you are in the present moment, you get out of your own way. As you become pure consciousness, pure awareness and change your brain waves from beta to alpha and even to theta, the autonomic nervous system- which knows how to heal your body much better than your conscious mind does- steps in and finally has an opportunity to clean the house.
