Everyone knows the importance of Exercise in their daily routine, but have you really considered making it as an act of self love rather than burden? From boosting your mood to controlling your weight, it keeps the health issues at check. Consistent exercise without taking a break for weeks can ensure that your health and body stays fit from blood pressure from heart strokes, exercise can make sure you stay a step ahead of the disease even if you are working out from home and not hitting gym everyday. So love what you do, invest in yourself and never consider exercise to be a burden.

Don't deprive yourself of the sleep you need, maintain good daily sleep habits. 

In this podcast I talk about how mindfulness meditation and journaling can be used effectively for anxiety.

In this podcast I talk about facing cancer recurrence this week, and my emotional response to the rioting in the USA after the tragic death of George Floyd. I talk about finding stillness and peace during this difficult time with mindfulness meditation. I also talk about my hope for a better world that is free of discrimination based on race, gender, and sexual preference.

In this podcast I talk about how to use cognitive techniques to cope with negative thoughts and feelings that surface during mediation.  I also talk about how to use the journaling task to challenge  these negative thoughts. It's important to reduce negative thoughts and feelings that may that may be resulting in maladaptive behaviours in your life which can lead to unhappiness. The powerful combination of mindfulness mediation and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques that can be used during journaling can help reduce negative thoughts and emotions and lead to a life where your day to day behaviours are in line with your goals, hopes, and dreams.
