What if I told you could indulge in something that would help you release your stress as well as help you stay healthy?it sounds unbelievable doesn't it but it’s possible, I. experienced it.
[[Let's start from the starting]]For those who don’t know me, I am Sarah and until last month I was the laziest, most distracted and the most paranoid person ever. All this however changed when I went back home to India for my winter break-a break I had been looking forward to given the stressful semester I had. But what I assumed to be the most happening time of my life turned out to be the exact opposite.Given the weather conditions back in Delhi-I got cold and my condition exacerbated into a fever because of which I spent 20 days out of the 25 days just lying down in bed. In those 20 days, I’d keep thinking how had my immunity been better I would have been out having fun with my friends.
[[What happens next?]]So I come back to San Francisco, this thought is on my mind and is not leaving me. I keep asking myself “Sarah,how do I improve my immunity,stay healthy and stay focused at the same time without it gets in the way of my work.” and there’s no answer, nothing I can think of so I just take a cigarette out of my bag and start smoking and while I am smoking I look at this really old lady exercising and really enjoying herself, she looked so fit, I am astonished, and I go like “THIS IS IT, THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO DO.”
[[Ahaan but will it work?will I be able to do it?]]I come to my apartment, google a few exercise routines and start doing it.Oh, also this was the first time I was exercising.The first 10 mins into the exercise I am already telling myself how this is impossible and how I wouldn't be able to follow this but I keep going on and finally finish my 2-hour exercise routine.
[[How did I feel?]]What I felt once I was done was euphoria. All my anxiety had gone away I felt like I could achieve anything in the world that nothing was impossible.There’s something you may not know-physical activity helps to bump up the production of your brain's feel-good neurotransmitters, called endorphins that help you feel the way I felt.
[[How am I doing now?]]It has been a while since that happened,I won't lie I still smoke but from it being a necessity it has become something I do with my friends.I every time have time try to workout.I am focused as a person and believe in myself more than ever.It feels like I am the who directs my life and oh I can make it wonderful just by doing this.
