The run, to go on till October 2, has been lapped up by sportspersons and non-sportspersons from all spheres and seen major reception.

“This is a step towards making our country fitter. We all can participate to make India a fit country. We all have been confined to our home during the lockdown but now that we can step out gradually, it’s a great time to get connected with running. It is a basic exercise. I thank the Sports Ministry, and especially our Hon’ble Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju for starting the Fit India Freedom Run during this period. I want to appeal to everyone to participate in the Fit India Freedom Run,” Madhurika said.

The 33-year-old also added that running in a group brings great benefits. “When I go outdoors for runs, I feel attuned to nature and it is a very enriching experience for me. First, we need to begin with ourselves and then we can inspire others to get involved. We have to invite our friends even if they are reluctant. Once one starts running, they will start loving it. When we have a group, the exercise feels more enjoyable,” she added.

Susmita R Jyotsi, the Regional Director of SAI center in Mumbai, lauded the fitness mantra given by Madhurika and mentioned we should always motivate others four-fold.

“Madhurika, your words are very motivating. Looking at you, many will get inspired. In this current scenario, fitness is the only way to stay fit and fight the pandemic. Athletes are our national icons and each should motivate four others to join this unique run. That will be a great achievement. If 100 people are inspired, they should inspire 400 more,” said RD, SAI Mumbai.

We all make trades in life . We trade our time. We trade our energy. We trade our hard –earned money. We trade our attention. Hi, welcome once again to yogatraining4u.com.

Many of us move through life in constant motion, never stopping to reflect on where that motion is taking us. If the trades we are making daily are letting us live our life best lives. If the trades are giving us more quality time with those we care about most. If we can turn up for them fully engaged, energized and enthused.

The trades we make in life take a toll on us physically, mentally, and emotionally.

1. Trading my time, energy and enthusiasm for status and a corner of office: Like many of us, I spent part of life chasing the corporate dream just because of more money, more responsibility, catchy job tile and many more kudos. But many interesting things happened like more responsibility often came with stress and headache, each job title change got stale quickly. I wanted to understand these feelings and got into some self- introspection. We are not all not all carved out to be entrepreneurs or self-employed, it’s fine. Find your own fit and embrace it. There are many ways for us to earn our living. Here I am aware of my trades and mostly happy to make the and if needed I will need to make plan.
2. Broader lessons : I want to live my life, that may be opposite of where you are and what you need. Your trades might be aligned to finding a corporate job where you get a pension and pay check. Its ok , your trades needs to be trades you are willing to make. What is exactly that we have an awareness of the trades we are making in life. That we aware of where we are spending our energy, time and efforts. Essentially, aware of where we are spending ourselves. This is a powerful prism through which we can objectively view everything we do. Equally we may realize we are making trades we rather not, trades that are taking more from us than they are giving back and we can then take action according.
3. Questions we can ask ourselves: We can keep trades we are making front and centre in our minds by asking simple questions to ourselves. Are the trades we are making worth the energy, time , time and money we are spending on them? Are we likely to see a return on our investment? Are the trades we are making helping us get closer to our goals? Are the trades we are making beneficial to our relationships? Are the trades we are making leaving us energized? Are the trades we are making aligned with our moral codes? If not, maybe we should be making different trades.

Be aware of where you are making trades in your life. Make them selectively. Give them your full attention and handle them with the care they deserve.

For more interesting topics, stay tuned with us. Today till this much only. Have a nice day.

The art of being human does not mean you judge people because they do not understand how elevated you are? Above other people? Your concept of immaterial spiritual life starts with questions like ‘Who am I?’ ‘What is life?’ ‘What is death? And ‘Why you have come here?’

It is significant because it acknowledges the important existential questions.

Actually, life is a stage and we are actors here. Life is all about accepting the way you are. Life is all about seeking people who need your help. You cannot expect ease from life because life is a test and tests are not easy.

If you are still thinking why you have been sent here, if you are still juggling with concept of why you are here, you have not lived yet. Everything happens for a reason. Let’s repeat, everything happens for a reason. There are certain incidents that happen in your life, they only make you strong. They break you physically, they deform your body but they transform your soul. That is life.

In life, we have this thing in our minds. We call it perfection. We want everything to be perfect. We want ourselves to be perfect. There is an image in our head about everything, perfect life, perfect relationship, perfect career and perfect amount of money that we earn, no matter what. Nothing is perfect in this world. We are all perfectly imperfect and that is perfectly alright.

We are not sent here to become the perfect people. Those people who tell you how to look perfect, even they are imperfect. Try to fight this fear of looking perfect. In those imperfections, you have to listen to your heart. You do not have to look good for people, you do not have to be perfect just because other people want you to be perfect. If your soul is perfect from within, that is alright. This is all what you need to be and what you want.

You know what makes you perfect? When you try to do something good for people. When you feel someone’s pain and how beautiful pain is that it connects you with people. No other medium can connect you with others, but the pain. So you see, how beautiful these imperfections are that because of these imperfections you can connect with people then why are we all running after being perfect? What is the point?

Do not die before your death. We all die. Death is inevitable, it can happen to us to anytime. ‘Because you could not stop for death, let death stop for you!’, be that person. Be that person, when you die, you become the memory of others, because ‘When you was born, you cried and the world rejoiced and when you will die, you will rejoice and the world will cry!’ This is what death is.

People are so lucky they do not even realize. You must be thinking: Okay, you are lucky in what sense? Well! The breath that you just took was a blessing. Embrace it. Be grateful for what you have, and you will always, always end up having more but if you will cry for the little things that you do not have or things that you have lost. You will never ever have enough.

It is okay to be scared, it is okay to cry. Everything is okay but giving up on your life should not be an option. We always say that failure is not an option. Failure should be an option because when you fail you get up, and then again you fail and then you get up. This keeps you going. That’s how humans are strong. Failure is an option, should be an option, but giving up is not.

This is actually ‘The Art Of Being Human’. Do not think much about what people say. Listen to yourself because when you will smile, you can make people smile.

Hope you all have enjoyed this article. Stay tuned for more updates. Till then goodbye. Have a nice day.
