  • Beyond March 8th: The Everyday Gifts That Truly Honour Women
    Celebrating Women’s Day isn’t about grand gestures, flowers, or social media tributes—it’s about everyday respect, recognition, and shared responsibilities. True appreciation lies in actions, not just words. Before buying a fancy gift, ask yourself—have you given her the priceless gifts of time, trust, and equal partnership? Because when a woman feels truly valued, she won’t need fleeting tokens to remind her of her worth. And to the amazing men who already understand this—you are seen, appreciated, and valued, always.

  • Just Being in the Moment
    Embracing Change and Going with the Flow On January 6th of this year, when I decided to start journaling online, I intended to return to daily writing and hold myself accountable. My focus was to document the steps I was taking to reverse my autoimmune condition. Improving my health was also one of the reasons I joined a 21-day online yoga challenge. Little did I know that I would end up journaling and reflecting on my yoga journey.… Read more: Just Being in the Moment
  • Everything Falls into Place When You’re Ready
    But what does it truly take to be ready? Namaste! It’s my second week of the 21-day Yoga Challenge with Habuild, and I’ve been diligently journaling my experiences. As I mentioned in my last post, I took a break from journaling yesterday but stayed consistent with my yoga practice. Interestingly, yesterday’s online session focused on fixing our routines — something I’ll dive into in a later post. But here’s the exciting part: something unexpected and intriguing happened… Read more: Everything Falls into Place When You’re Ready
  • Showing Up Is the Simplest Gift You Can Give Yourself
    One week into the Yoga challenge & this is how I feel Namaste Today marked my 6th day of the 21-day Yoga challenge by Habuild. Technically, though, it’s my 11th consecutive day of practising yoga, as I had early access and started on January 1st. Honestly, it was a long day. I missed the morning session and was too tired and reluctant to join the evening one. But skipping it would have defeated the purpose of… Read more: Showing Up Is the Simplest Gift You Can Give Yourself

  • On the seamless transition from Shavaasana to Shayanaasana
    Lesson Learnt: When Things Feel Too Good to Be True, Check Your Network Hello, hello! If you’ve been keeping up with my journal, you’d know I’ve been on a mission to flex (or at least attempt to flex) my muscles as part of a 21-day yoga challenge. Today’s session was all about the upper body. The trainer had us holding poses for 20 counts each—gruelling, yes, but I was determined to keep up. Focused, laser-sharp, and ready to… Read more: On the seamless transition from Shavaasana to Shayanaasana
