2013 has not been particularly good for me. I had to face some health issues which were bad enough to mar the quality of my life in general. So, this year, my resolution is to get my health back on track and get the other aspects to life right as well.
I have started practising yoga regularly. I have put on a lot of weight because of some of the medicines which I have been taking. I tried every possible exercise to lose it or at least control it and failed. That is when I started watching videos from Baba Ramdev, the great yoga guru. I am at a loss how it works, because for a given time, one burns a lot fewer calories with yoga than other exercises. Yet, where all else failed, it worked. It is not like those miracle pills or diets or exercises where you get a supermodel body overnight. But I have managed to finally halt the weight gain. And it has started coming down albeit at a very slow rate.
I also started practising Pranayam or breathing exercises along with yoga. I actually look forward to getting up in the morning and doing yoga and pranayam. Also, the unhappiness and helplessness that I felt at times last year seems to be slowly lifting. I feel more hopeful and happy. It is the perfect recipe for physical and mental well being and probably will atleast help start the spiritual journey as well.
