Pause. Breathe. Think : Restart with a Better Mindset

Life as we see it today: A box full of surprises, new challenges, tasks, and so much more. You recharge your phone, refill your gas tank when you’re running on empty and fill your car with petrol when it's low on fuel.  But, do you recharge yourself from all the tiresome activities your mind and body do? Do we even look after our most precious possessions: The mind, body and soul? No. In the process we are forgetting to take charge of something so important and have been neglecting these small aspects, which add up to a big part of our lives.

Whether you are at school, college or work, life can be really busy. When we have so many activities around us, we sometimes forget to take time in order to rest and take the time we need to look after ourselves. But, it’s really important for our mental health that we take time out and relax for a while.

Let’s be honest, guys, everyone is fed-up about daily activities like holding down a full-time job, or always occupied with something. We don’t get time or we don't make time for the things that make us happy, neither do we take a break nor do we relax for a while and this leads to exhaustion in our mind and body. We are humans not machines so we need a break from the everyday events. We don't need weekends or vacations for this break. We honestly need a pause. With all the constant hustle and fast-paced environment around us, our minds can be filled with negative thoughts, emotions and toxic ideas that will worsen each day if we don't address them at the right time.

Taking breaks can improve both your productivity and creativity. Breaks can reduce stress, help to maintain performance throughout the day and break the monotony.  Sometimes you need to take a break from everyone and spend time alone, to experience, to appreciate, and love yourself. It’s in this pause, a break in the momentum, which gives you a moment to breathe. After taking a break, first take a deep breath and then do whatever makes you happy like spending time with family, listening to music, going on walk, playing games, shopping, chatting with a friend etc. Taking a break from your daily schedule is normal and also good for health, so don’t think that taking time for yourself is a waste of time. In fact, it is a better investment of time in something you actually like doing.

Along with this, rethink about your own decisions because sometimes you make a decision that you don't think much of, instantly regret, and later feel bad about. Most others do many activities because their friends and relatives are doing it.  Have you actually wondered whether or not you want to do it? For yourself?

SYNC Club has some brilliant fitness and wellness activities, workshops and webinars that can help you grow. Not only is the club focusing on physical or mental well- being but it is also focusing on shaping up an individual with the kind of events it conducts.

Let's restart and reset our ideas, thoughts, opinions and habits. Yes, it will be difficult to change all this in one day, but we can begin with our day one to reach our goals. This will only happen after we have thought of what we want to do. Let this all take place, but this time for ourselves and no one else. Let's do all the activities that matter to us, make us who we are and in-turn help us to explore, grow and make us a better person. Let's not forget that looking after our health and overall well-being is an everyday process and not a one-time activity.
