Mihika's upside down world

   So my journey isn’t the cliché “I wanted to get fit” but rather something I was forced into. I was never a very athletic kid but have always been active. When I was in middle school, I injured my lower back and was on bed rest for 2 months! That too in my summer vacations, so much for enjoying the holidays, eh? Soon I felt better, but my spine had been affected and later I had problems in my lower back as well. I was given the option of either having surgery or doing some stretching exercises. And well this is how I guess I ended up starting Yoga. My love for Yoga is partially due to how it was taught to me the first time and how I feel after Yoga. How I look doesn’t even make it to the list but that’s an added benefit. It was hard for me to balance and stretch initially and I still struggle even today, but you get better with practice and some resilience. My mentor used to tell me all about why we do some stretches, the benefits they have, how Yoga affects our mind and bod...

I remember when quarantine started months ago... I loved every bit of it. Not having to leave the house, wearing PJs and no bra all day, waking up whenever. But I was still attending online classes so I wasn't exactly wasting my time. "Wasting my time" is something I would come back to later as I think it is more subjective than we think it is. So my online classes ended and I was thrilled at the thought of not doing anything but this thrill was short-lived (just a week to be precise lol). The extrovert in me craved human interaction so bad, I started talking on the phone daily and there was a time I purposely had my phone on Airplane Mode to avoid calls altogether! I started feeling like what is the point of anything and around this time a couple of unfortunate events happened which led to me feeling super low and stressed all the time. What did I do? what any human, okay normal human, would do- binge! I binged on Netflix and icecream TUBS but that gave me only short ...

So this is just another thing I have taken up to maintain my sanity during this year, which I don't know why seems to have gone by so fast yet seems to be moving so slow. Well, we cannot fight time (yes I have recently binge watched DARK). So let's try to make the best use of this time? Me by writing and you by reading my posts. Hope to come across people who appreciate my stupid sense of humour as well as my deep thoughts from overthinking. In short, Welcome to my upside-down life!
