Walking is my ultimate motivation

“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

I walk…because I feel this is the best way I could appreciate Mother Nature and her Natural beauty… I walk….because I want my mind and body to connect and talk to each other in a very special language called “silence.”

I walk because…It is safe, simple and doesn’t require practice…it is as natural as breathing. I walk…because it takes my mind off everyday stress and uplifts my spirits. “Walking in the morning takes you to beautiful places where light and shade make love.” ― Prof. Mohamed Shareef

I walk because there is so much beauty all around me to see and appreciate every bit of it. 

I walk…because flowers are Nature’s masterpiece and I want to capture them through my lens in every way, shape and form. That to me is real joy and cherishing life’s simple pleasures.

We travel the world hunting for special destinations…sometimes it is right there in our own backyard. I walk…because I feel lucky to be able to see and appreciate things that are often unseen!

YES…walking is my ultimate motivation… 🙂

How to reduce Stress

Stress Management:

With life becoming so fast, competitive people often do not find time for themselves. This results in stress accumulation which can lead to various health issues. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Some stress is normal and even useful. Stress can help if you need to work hard or react quickly but when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price. Constant stress can have bad effects. It can be linked to headaches, an upset stomach, back pain, hair loss, acid reflux and trouble sleeping.

Causes of stress:

There are two types of Stress – Short term and Long term. We all experience short-term stress in our daily lives however long-term stress can lead to many health problems 😦 The situations and pressures that cause stress are known as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, however, anything that puts high demands on you or forces you to adjust can be stressful.

The most common causes of stress are:

• Bereavement
• Family problems
• Financial matters
• Illness
• Moving home
• Relationships
• Pollution
• Over Crowding
• Too much Traffic
• Obesity
• Long work hours

Avoiding Stress:

• Time Management: Learn better ways to manage your time. You may get more done with less stress if you make a schedule. Think about which things are most important, and do those first. May be…automatic payment of bills will reduce your stress. Do not hesitate in spending some money to lower down stress in your life. After all, nothing is more important than happiness and health in life 🙂 
• Healthy Diet: Take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest. Eat well. Don’t smoke. Limit how much alcohol you drink.
• Exercise: For many people exercise is an extremely effective stress buster. You do not have to spend hours in exercise, even 15 minutes of exercise can reduce or even eliminate stress
• Breathing – there are some effective breathing techniques which will slow down your system and help you relax.
• Yoga: Yoga is another great way of reducing stress in life. Early morning is the best time for yoga.
• Common Sense: My mantra of leading a stress free life is very simple – “live and let live.” We don’t need to criticize, judge, or condemn others. So, use your common sense and take it easy 🙂

Do not let stress come rule your life. It is time for action. If you like my blog please comment in the section below.
