Fit India: Fit Family Movement


During the last 8 months, our life has changed dramatically. Everyone is at
home, no routine, no physical school, no garden visits, no outstation tours,
no functions, no birthday parties. We all are stuck at our houses. Even the
extra curricular sports classes in the evening have also come to an end.
This has led to zero physical exercise in our daily life and at the same time
the amount of food intake has increased. This is a serious matter of
concern. We as a parent, now have to step forward to end this. I am
sharing a 3 step formula for doing this;

Formula 1: BE CREATIVE
Be creative with your physical movement, put your sofa and center table
aside and create a play area right in the center of your drawing room or just
grab a skipping rope and give a challenge to everyone at home. If nothing
works, just play Hide & Seek. This will bring some fun and more than
normal movement in your body.

Formula 2: SCHEDULE EVERYONE
Set up a common time with all the family members for these types of
activities. Brainstorm and declare it to the entire family and follow it
religiously. You might have some reservations in the starting, but with you
being relentless and calm, things will fall in place.

Formula 3: BE HAPPY AND EXCITED
This physical regime for the entire family would be a blessing in disguise.
All the members would be taking the first step towards fitness after 8
months of lock-down at home. So start with a happy attitude and keep the
excitement high.
This will flow down from you to the entire family. It’s OK if people don’t do
the way things are designed. Give enough time for adapting to the new
normal. Be more fit. Take a few daily steps which lead to magical results.

Boys don't cry!! But why??

-
Image
The myth of " boys don't cry " perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes that dictate how individuals should express their emotions based on their gender. This societal expectation suggests that boys should suppress their emotions, particularly sadness or vulnerability, and instead demonstrate toughness or stoicism.  However, this notion is not only outdated but also detrimental to mental health and well-being. Everyone, regardless of gender, should feel free to express their emotions openly and seek support when needed. Suppressing emotions can lead to internalized stress, increased risk of mental health issues, and difficulty forming meaningful connections with others.  Encouraging boys to cry and express their feelings fosters emotional intelligence, resilience, and healthier relationships. Breaking free from this myth is essential for creating a more inclusive and supportive society where individuals can authentically be themselves without fear of judgment or ridicule. F

HOW TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING

-
  HOW TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING Simple!  Just set up 2 alarms:  one for the night before the morning you wanna get up, to sleep in time. And the other for the next day morning for the time you want to get up at. Because the foundation of getting up early is to sleep in time so that you get the 5-8 hours of sound sleep that you are fond of. If you sleep in time, you will find, more often than not, that you will get up without any alarm, because your sound sleep is complete and now you are ready to take on the world.  It gives immense pleasure to put off your alarm when you are already up and engaged in your tasks. Life is easy.... remember the nursery rhyme:  Early to bed, Early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Just focus on the first 3 words... early to bed.... rest all will take care of  by itself. Happy early rising! Simple!  Just set up 2 alarms:  one for the night before the morning you wanna get up, to sleep in time. And the other for the next day morning for
