<p>Let me begin by sharing what I do for a living, I am a nurse by profession. Nursing is an admirable vocation, being a nurse made me appreciate life better. I love the part of my job where I get to have an impact on someone’s life at the time they needed it the most.</p>
<p>However, like any other job it comes with challenges, part of it is to be constantly exposed to stress. Every day you are surrounded by people with different illness, you are challenged to make that right critical decision, you are expected to be compassionate and understanding, you race time to finish everything and at the end of your shift, you go home feeling drained and exhausted. A similar scenario may be true to all of you working for a living. Today, <em>stress </em>is society’s common denominator. It is a proven fact that stress is a huge factor for developing a disease and/or aggravate its symptoms.</p>
<h5><em>Some of which are:</em></h5>
<ul>
<li>Heart diseases</li>
<li>Gastrointestinal problems</li>
<li>Obesity</li>
<li>Depression</li>
<li>Anxiety</li>
<li>Alzheimer’s Disease</li>
<li>Diabetes</li>
<li><g class="gr_ gr_102 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="102" data-gr-id="102">Headache</g> and Migraine</li>
<li>Muscle Pain</li>
</ul>
<p>The list goes on…</p>
<p>Also, scientific studies have proven that stress can accelerate the aging process, as explained <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-athletes-way/201404/emotional-distress-can-speed-cellular-aging" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> in the article on how stress can speed up cellular aging.</p>
<p>With the nature of my job being exposed to people with different health issues, I see all the time the difficulties faced when you are not at your optimum level of health. I feel so strongly about health awareness and disease prevention because I really and truly believe that we can do so much to prevent if not lower the risk of developing a disease.</p>
<p>Among the many things we can stop from developing further, is <em>stress</em>, even I have my fair share of this, being a nurse is not an exception, in fact, the irony is that healthcare professionals take care of the sick but often forget to take care of themselves. That being said, due to shifts at work I started having issues with sleep patterns which ultimately contributed to headaches and really bad migraines. Until I discovered the power of yoga and meditation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Yoga and Meditation</h4>
<p><g class="gr_ gr_81 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="81" data-gr-id="81">Kahlmah</g> gives emphasis on this two exercises which are very closely related by nature of practice. <a href="../category/yoga/"><em>Yoga</em></a> as an active form of meditation and <a href="../category/meditation/"><em>Meditation</em></a>, an exercise of mindfulness, a complete physical awareness. I personally consider these two exercises as the best you can give to your body and <g class="gr_ gr_115 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="115" data-gr-id="115">being</g> as a whole. When I started my practice it has helped me tremendously, the ability to get in tune with your mind and body allows you to connect to your inner self which brings out a higher sense of wellbeing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>A little bit more about me…</h4>
<p>I’ve mentioned about being a nurse, and you might have figured out I am a big fan of Yoga and Meditation. But if I am not doing <em>Asanas</em> (yoga posture) or meditating, I’m probably in the mountains! I love being outdoors and recently I found the love for mountain trekking/hiking and rock climbing.</p>
<p>In my years, I have always been mindful about my health, even at an earlier age (not that I’m so old… I’m only 30) I was conscious about being fit mainly because I wanted to be able to do as many outdoor activities as I could. I enjoy them, which is lucky for me, but I understand that others may not find a 3-hour walk up a mountain enjoyable. But I don’t like to limit my choices for a healthier lifestyle to diets, supplements and gym membership because there are a lot more you can do than just that!</p>
<p>What I say is, “life is easier if you choose to live better”, it all goes down to the choices we make. The one thing that got stuck in my head when I was still a student was this phrase <em><strong>“Prevention is Better than Cure”</strong></em> and it really is! So every time I get the chance I tell people we should do everything in our power to prevent being ill and aim to find that healthy balance, of course, life circumstances get in the way and also some diseases are just out of our control but our “<em>Health is our Responsibility” </em>and I strongly believe that we can always do something about it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Turning into Blogging</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In today’s age internet has made everything possible, I have been hooked into reading blogs recently and I’ve always wanted to have a voice to promote health and wellness, so I decided to start a blog of my own because I see this as a great platform for that voice.</p>
<p>In this blog I focus on the things we can do <em>to promote a healthy lifestyle</em>, I put emphasis on <em>stress reduction </em>because stress is a factor to almost every disease there is and guess what? we can control stress, we can do something about it. As our tagline says, Healthy Mind, Body &amp; Soul, is a healthy life we should all aspire to live!</p>
