  • Post-meal walk

    A cure for sure

    Many people, even doctors, recommend walking a few steps for a few minutes after our meals. It has many benefits, including sugar control and weight loss in the long term. Ayurveda also talks about it.

    For me, especially these days when I am taking medicines 3 times a day for many days, this walk is really helping me in staying awake a little longer after my lunch time. The heavy doses of medicine sometimes make it very difficult to stay awake and do anything. And me being me, always prefers a body and mind well rested for any kind of work, so I sleep when my body asks for it.

    But sleeping a day thrice, I mean, once after breakfast and medicines, then if you can’t control it after lunch, and then of course, the nighttime dose makes it too much. And I don’t want to see my puffy face and swollen eyes anymore. Rest is fine. Deep sleep is good. But sleeping three times, not felt so good. So, my post-lunch walk for around half an hour is saving me from falling asleep these days.

    Can’t say much about what my metabolism, sugar, cholesterol, thyroid, and insulin levels are, but my sleeping and staying awake balance, with a short nap after breakfast, is right right now. And I am happy for that.

    Tell me about yourself. Have you noticed any positive changes in your daytime or just general everyday life because of this simple act?

    Happy walking.

    Happy sleeping.

    And happy living!

  • Early Mornings Are Blessings

    And I am deeply grateful for them.

    Early mornings. The peaceful, loving, caring, beautiful, warm, comfortable, and relaxed early mornings after a night of deep sleep and rest are among the most priceless blessings in the world. And I am genuinely, deeply, very, very grateful for such early mornings in my life. Nothing can be more beautiful than that.

    Nothing!

    The early morning hours, the quiet home, the calm vibes, you wake up with a smile, you feel thankful to divine, get up for the wonderful day ahead, listen to the chirping of birds outside, the balcony view right in front of you full of trees, grass, shrubs, herbs, plants, and flowers of bright colours, dewy mustard fields, and a vast area of farmland.

    Everything seems dark because the sun hasn’t come up here. And then you gaze at the sky, watching it transition from darkness to light, to pinkish red, yellowish, as the sun comes up in full red, and slowly, slowly it moves up up and up. And its colour changes from red to light red, to orange, to shiny bright yellow.

    And you sit on your balcony to soak all that in. To feel the morning breeze, the early morning shine, everything!

    For me, that is a blessing. And I am more than grateful for this.

    Happy morning.

    Happy living.
