Good morning and welcome to your very own podcast “2 cents wiser” by Adarsh, with a purpose to promote positivity through small incremental changes in our daily lives, so that we can bring out the best version of us.. As I settle down to record my podcast, (its such a stress buster), im looking back at this last week…. It has been a CRAZY busy week for me, and at the end of it, guess what…..I am just, another week olderWhat happened in the last 7 days?? Where did this week disappear??? ….What memories did I make?? I am sure a lot of you feel this burn out often, but how many times do we sit down to find answers to this.  As a child, when we used to get tired or burnt out…Our only solution was to listen to our bodies…Give it sleep, rest, food and recharge…..However, as we have grown older, and shouldered responsibilities, we have chosen to ignore ourselves and self care has taken a backseat. We get so overwhelmed by the grind, that we forget that we need to revitalise ourselves.  The first thing that struck me was that a couple of days ago someone said to me: “Take it easy Adarsh, Be kind to yourself”.  Now, as I reflect on the past week, I am realising the importance of these words, and WHAT they mean. I have always understood the importance of kindness, but I have always focused on GIVING kindness to others. I had never thought about GIVING kindness to myself… What does being kind to yourself mean? It means, self compassion… the ability to show ourselves kindness particularly when things don’t go as planned….and accepting warmly… I did my best under the current situation, I was brave…Its therapeutic, its healing, its magical… For me….The way to rejuvenate is indulging in ME time….Your ME time is just mine, for doing the things I like, things which DESTRESS us….It could be listening to music, reading a book or just sitting and basking in the winter sun….Or spend time with family and friends by playing a board game or watching a movie. This self compassion worked wonders for me, and hence I am sharing it with you.  This week, take a step back, and appreciate the things you like, which make you enjoy the moments and make it worth living.  Charity begins at home and hence, the first rule to kindness is, to be kind to yourself. Your body is your temple, you need to nourish it, revitalise it, so that it releases the right energy. You deserve to feel good. When you feel good, you do good.   As we wrap up today’s episode, remember that being kind to yourself is a necessity, not a luxury. Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life. Make yourself a priority and pamper yourself in bits because Little by little, a little becomes a lot. Thank you for listening, learning and liking….Dont forget to be kind and See you again soon
