What is your wellness philosophy?
Wellness for me is defined as living a life of resolve and discipline which comes with boring consistency day on day but yet enjoying the stability and reaping the benefits of the work I put in self-care daily.
Wellness is knowing my body in and out and learning how to pick on cues and nurturing and nourishing myself in accordance.
Wellness means finding a balance between following my heart and listening to my mind to achieve happiness by not being very hard on myself
Wellness means creating room for failure and fall and learning from it for a better future.
Your success mantra?
Hard work cannot be substituted
Discipline is non negotiable
Planning is indispensable to living
Joy is pervasive
Time is of essence
Falling to rise must be allowed
A lesson you learned from making a mistake?
The lesson from a mistake is not to never do it again, but how to do it better the next time.
Any piece of advice for all the women out there?
Work on your own self before setting out to work for the loved ones. Loving yourself teaches you to love others better in a more fulfilling and giving way.
Have dreams for your own self because dreams allow you the mad hatter abstract world vision- so colorful and vibrant and joyous- that it brings happiness and purpose in life.
Ask for help! Superwomen also run out of steam and it is fine to refuel and also seek help. World will open up to you…
What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?
The privilege of being able to inspire and make a difference is most gratifying.
The respect that is bestowed upon me is a blessing.
The responsibility of being a guide and steering people toward the better path is humbling.
