 A HEALTHY YOU A healthy body is not only being free from diseases. It also means the  complete well-being of mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-  being. In these tough times, we have all been working on our  immunity from having several multivitamins to adding several new additions in our diet. So, today let us talk about ways to boost our well-being holistically. "We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves." - Dalai Lama If we learn to be in harmony with ourselves, the inner positivity will spread radically.

How to stay calm during quarantine? "Breathe.It's only a bad day not a bad life.", Ashley Purdy We welcome you to our first blog! This year has been majorly filled with surprises (mind it, not good ones). Having to witness the pandemic has really been scary and on top of that being isolated and not getting to see your friends or for some, family can take a toll on your mental health.

We can't change what has happened to us but we can CHOOSE how to respond. We can change our perspectives and not let unnecessary thoughts bother us. 2) Be grateful. Everyday ask yourself "What am I grateful for?".  You may have heard this from different website/teachers and believe me, it has been proved to be helpful for people struggling with mental health.
