Skin that doesn't show your age !!!!

There is a very famous and old commercial of a soap, whose tag line is "meri twacha se meri umar ka pata hi nahi chalta" means one can't guess my age with my skin.

But this is only applicable to 5% of people who are dedicated towards their personal responsibility and for the rest 95%  of people this ad is not at all relevant.

Wanna know why ???

First and foremost it is obvious that it is not at all because of the soap that you look young, that we all know that it is just a commercial's tag line. A lot of constant effort and daily rituals which are usually responsible for any one to have a glowing and lustrous skin which surpasses the actual age.

How much time you spend in a beauty saloon or in a spa doesn't determine an ever lasting glowing & healthy skin. Yes, it definitely adds to it but there are other important factors that plays more vital role in how healthy your skin is and thoes factors are:
1) What you eat ?
2) How much you eat?
3) What time you eat ?
4) Water and liquid intake ?
5) Your work-out regime?
And last but not the least is,
6) A disciplined and regular morning and evening cleansing, toning and moisturising routine.
Along with the above a few visits to beauty saloon or a spa is like icining on the cake. But it is 85% your own consistent effort and lifestyle that determines how healthy your skin will be?

Usually taking care of the skin and having a daily routine for the same are considered to be a task for females only and 80% of males don't do anything for their skin apart from taking bath and that is the reason why age on the skin of males become all the more visible after their 30's where as females do take care of their skin but most of the time fail to streamline a focused work-out and food ritual.

Everybody, be is males or females are equally entitled to have an ever lasting youthful skin provided they not only just dream about it but put efforts towards the same by developing a lifestyle of daily rituals that is in complete sync to the kind of skin they long to have and most importantly, to do the rituals with commitment and consistency. Beacuse, when you look and feel good in your skin, automatically things around you look and feel good and positive too.

The only thing that should grow with age is experience and nothing else !!!!

As we all grow older, we tend to become the victim of excuse of age. We let things go and stop putting efforts hard enough because of the excuse of age. But I and all the people who takes care of their personal responsibility well would agree and highly endorse this that the only thing that should grow with age is experience and nothing else. Rest everything be it health, activity level, flexibility, habits & lifestyles can be managed with some daily and consistent rituals which take care of the same.

We dont grow older with age but we tend to grow older because of our habits and lifestyle. The lifestyle in todays world is all surrounded with the comfort of gadgets & minimum emphasis given to physical activity is the major reason for increased level of obesity in people now a days including children. What add all the more to it is the intake of processed and junk food and erratic timings of food consumption which not only leads us to unhealthy and lathergic body but also makes the skin look dull and way too older than what we really are.

There are 3 league of people in this world. First one are those people who have accepted the fact of age and believes that this situation can not be changed now hence they are more then happy to live this way only. You can notice these people saying often that we only have one life so we want to live it to the fullest but the truth is most of them have given up hope that nothing can change now.

The second league of people are the ones who atleast accept that there is a problem with this age approach and even think most of the time to change the senario but fail to take continued and consistent action for the same. These people have all the more excuses to defend themselves like: I want to do it but dont have time, have more important professional and social commitments, I did it but nothing happened etc......

You will notice that people who are always busy with professional and social commitments and who never gives importance to personal sphere looks 5 to 10 years older then their actual age where as people with balanced lifestyle always looks younger then their actual age.

There is this third league of extraordinary people as well who are always incharge of the situations and do whatever possible it takes day in and day out along with their professional and social commitments to grow even more younger with every passing year. These are the people for whom, with age only experience grows older and nothing else.

What's your league ??????

Best Version of Our Own Self !!!!

We are born in this world as human to live a complete life which is a rightful mix of professional, social & personal sphere but most of us makes our professional sphere i.e earning money & building career & social sphere i.e taking care of the family and friends so big that we almost forget that we have a personal sphere as well which is way beyond food, sleep and sex.

There are a lot of  activities that are required from us to be understood and to be taken care of in terms of fulfilling our personal responsibilities. This includes taking care of oneself from head to toe, from visible body i.e our shape and size to the skin and to all the organs inside our body and even our mind and soul. When all the aspects of ourselves be it physical, mental and spiritual are in complete harmony, only then we become better than yesterday and this is when we are the best version of ourselves.

Most of us say that we have only one life so we do what we love and what makes us happy. I also know that we just have one life as human and nobody knows what's gonna happen when we die so even I completely believe in the above saying but just have a little difference of opinion in its operations. We should certainly be doing things that makes us happy as this is what is called living our personal responsility but the happiness shouldn't be short lived rather then it should last till we breathe our last. E.g. if sweets gives one happiness but one have it excessively for couple of years and later get diagonsed with diabetes, what will going to happen. Very simple, one have to live without any sweets for rest of his or her life. None of us would expect such situations for themselves. So its very important to have a discipline and have a rightful balance of all aspect of life to enjoy what we love, throughout our whole life.

80% of us give a lot of importance to professional and social sphere till their forties not usually dont think too much about personal sphere but the drawback here is by then the personal sphere gets completely out of their hand and one usually have only regret after that about the same. The big reason for this is, in most of the cases it becomes so hard to undo the damage done in personal sphere that one either just accept to live with it like that only or one have to live without things they used to cherris the most.

That is why one should consciously choose to live a balance lifestyle where equal importance is given to all the aspects of life be it professional, social or personal because its only one life we have. Why not to live ît in the best shaped and healthy body with a positive mental attitude and have a spiritually sound soul to be our best version daily.

Why We Become Worse ?????

When nobody wants to become a worse person of atleast who they are today, then what really happens that makes us worse ????

It is a very big question but can be summerised in just one word and that is SURRENDER.

When we surrender ourselves to situation and to the people in and around us, which we all do sometime or the other in our life for taking care of so called the bigger responsibilities of life of professional and social sphere and neglecting completely our own self considering it not to be that important to be on the priority list is the major reason why we turn into a worse person: physically, mentally and spiritually.

Wanna know how ???

When we only take care of professional and social responsibilities and not personal one, we become negative over a period of time. Whenever talking about the responsibility we choose ourselve over and above us, we end up cribing and talking negative about it. Work place is not good, boss is not supportive, salary is way to less, relationship sucks, no fun in life at all and so on...... Sooner or later we keep looking for changes  like switching jobs often and even socialising or interacting with the unknown people to find happiness to get over the frustration of responsibilities we chose. The irony of the situation is that, the responsibility what we called the most important for us and because of which we didnt undertake our personal responsibility becomes the one which we always run from. So we neither give 100% there in our professional and social sphere and obviously we haven't even done aything in our personal sphere in any ways.

Another thing that happens when we surrender ourselves to situation and people and do not take care of the personal responsibility is we underestimate our own capabilities only. We become so used to of our robotic life that we forget to think, plan and then execute accordingly. We starts to think that professional and social responsibilities are the one that we can take care of on a daily basis and adding personal sphere can't be managed properly. This is nothing else but underestimating one own self because when we can step out to chase the world and can leave no stone unturned when it comes to our family, trust me taking care of personal responsibility is just a piece of cake for us. All we have to do is treat ourselves with the same importance as we give to our professional and social spheres.

We can easily perform our personal responsibility well by just doing a little bit for our own self daily in terms of our physical, mental and spiritual spheres, which i will share in my next upcoming blogs.

Till then, just remember to Indulge with Yourself daily.

Who We Really Are ?????

Name - Shubhi, by caste - Srivastava & because born on 1st October so a Libran. This much we all know and talk about ourselves often. We even know our positive and negative qualities as well whether we choose to accept them in public or not but deep inside of us, we all know this is who we really are !!!

But post this, there are only two possibilities of a person's being and that is, either he/she can be a Better Version or can be a Worse Version of his/her self.

Though nobody wants to be a worse version of his/her self but it still happens in most of the cases. Talking about the personality be it Physical, Mental or Spiritual. We long to be someone else but end up become completely different of what we really want to be.

Ever given a thought on why this happens ?????

Well, when we dont invest time and efforts in our own self, we either become a person who have never evolved or become worse. As in most of the cases we dont actually invest in ourselves, we become like stagnant water whether we choose to accept this or not. We end up blaming people and situations for who we have become today. Our biggest problem is that we always look outside for happiness, for contentment, for approvals and even for enlightenment as well while on the other hand, all of this lies within us only similarly the way solution lies in the problem itself.

Accept it or not, its neither people around us nor the situations that determines what version of ourselves, we will be today or in future. It is only and only "I AM" who is respinsible for being either the Better or the Worse version of my own self in all the spherse - physical, mental or spiritual. We all know this but still remain in the problem forever because we dont choose to accept that we can be our own solution. The day we understand that we are the only solution and invest time and efforts in our own self, not only we become better but the best version of our own self.
