Wellness Tips for Ganesh Chaturthi
1. Be mindful while fasting
Choose Sattvic foods such as nuts, fruits, and certain dairy products like dahi or curd, which are gentler on the stomach. Pace yourself when breaking your fast so that your body has time to readjust to your regular digestive process. Start with a little water and follow it up with a light meal. Have protein-rich foods like paneer/tofu, and nuts like almonds to maintain energy levels and muscle mass.
2. Stay physically active
Incorporate light physical exercises in your daily routine like walking and stretching, to combat inactivity. Dance! Participate in traditional dance forms or just simply indulge in a little fun and frolic with your family. It’s a fun way to boost your mood as well! Engage in all activities and pujas, and go out and socialise more with your neighbors, relatives, and friends.
3. Prioritise your mental well-being
Connect with your family and friends to feel a sense of community. They are your support system and provide you with reassurance, which plays an important role in maintaining a balanced mental state. Make sure to set aside some ‘me time’. Being constantly surrounded by others can lead to a lack of personal time, which is crucial for managing stress and maintaining your well-being.
Festive seasons make for a great opportunity to practice gratitude. Reflect upon things in your life that you can be thankful for!
