These pictures were taken three years ago, on this day. I remember very consciously embarking on a mental health journey THAT day with a commitment to be consistent.
Coincidentally it was World Mental Health Day, I was to find out later. After having talked about it, hemmed and hawed about the need for it, for almost 6 months I finally decided to get down to it with the discipline of a regimen – it was the only way I knew how to get things done!
Sporadic work on my mental health had started over 9 months ago, on the 1st of January 2020 when I started journalling in an effort to identify what was causing me anxiety and stress. The first step of course, was learning to distinguish between the two. 😅
But I was not consistent. I would do the work ( and it IS work), in bursts and then fall off the wagon. Pretty much how most people start their journey to physical fitness. Not seeing myself get into a habit, I realised I must apply the learnings of over two decades of pursuing physical fitness to how I needed to pursue mental fitness. And mental health. I cajoled and coaxed myself over the next few months (which featured the first ever lockdown ). But couldn’t bring about any consistency.
Covid was life changing for all of us. In different ways. I remember feeling grateful for the amount of time we were getting together as a family. The three of us. With the jobs we had, spending more than 6 to 7 days together, as a family in a month was rarity ! I remembered that feeling of being grateful. And how it made me feel and look at things.
I started my gratitude journal via @gratefulness.me on 10 October 2020. I haven’t missed a day since . It set me on a path and I learnt more along the way including , meditation, practising mindfulness and letting go. I learnt how to identify triggers. And also how to identify glimmers. My mental health remains a work in progress, and I think it will always be so.
Because if there is one thing I’ve learned from pursuing fitness for the last 30 years, it is that the moment you think you’ve ‘arrived’, the slide downhill is right around the corner.

An evening well-spent amidst those who prevailed at the Hangzhou 2023 Asian Games and made India 🇮🇳 proud.
Loved this edition of the Beyond the Finish Line, organised ahead of the #VedantaDHM23 ❤️
And it was an absolute treat to hear Race Ambassador and two-time, Olympic gold medallist Ashton Eaton can speak. His prowess clearly extends of the field as well. Eloquent, articulate, and so very humble.
Thank you @procamintl !

Loved the experience and the overall feels.
And Team 5 (Akarsh Hebbar and I ) came in 3rd. Although, we feel we should have won.
