Head over heels in love with life and aerial yoga. I didn’t know my body could still do this sort of stuff. ❤️❤️❤️ What an amazing session at @swastikwellbeing . I started shaky and ended triumphant!! Triumph of mind over matter .. and driven by the spirit of curiousity and adventure. And of course knowing I’m in good professional hands. Challenge yourself to do something that goes beyond your boundaries. Why? Why not !!!!! #aerialyoga #challenge #wellbeing @happysoullifestyle
BOUNCE !!! Almost 10 years ago I was chatting with my daughter in her room and she said “ok mama.. BOUNCE!” I started bouncing.. and she looked at me in disbelief and rolled her eyes! Clearly generational lingo mismatch.. as she meant time to leave the room!! 😂😂😂😂 But I’ve never lost my BOUNCE and intend to keep it. BOUNCE back from tragedy and failure BOUNCE with excitement and energy BOUNCE with joy when something good happens BOUNCE into a room to ignite energy BOUNCE into someone’s life and make a positive difference BOUNCE off new ideas when i have the opportunity BOUNCE through the day with a happy face BOUNCE out of @alayaf Room now if hear BOUNCE… 😂 …… and cherry on the icing …. even get my hair to BOUNCE in these lovely photos by @yumasyukova_photo Shot at @escapegoa

A moment of calm reflection ! “Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.” From the 1980s I’ve been vocal about the need for women rights. India has represented a highly patriarchal society .. sati, dowry, child marriage, educational restrictions…. and then later workplace inequality & prejudice, balancing work with demands of being the bahu at home, glass ceilings .. lists go on. My grandmother #fredabedi , mom #protimabedi , me and even my daughter @alayaf have stood up to all challenges to live life on our own terms. From my twenties… ive been championing womens rights, pushing on every public and media platform to have laws change and to protect and empower women , to get them educated.. And today… I’ve crossed the half century mark …. and I’m so grateful for all the countless voices, women & men, who have been instrumental in positive change. Ironically, 5 years ago i championed mens rights as women are now misusing laws created to enable, protect and empower women. I believe in an equal world and i believe in the power of feminine consciousness which includes compassion, love, mindfulness, nurturing, gentleness, inner strength and creativity Feminine consciousness resides in each of us, irrespective of gender. Yin- yang. Shiv-Shakti Being a woman is my strength, not a weakness. On womens day I’d like to leave you with a thought and a question… No one is immortal and barely a handful get to stay on the planet even a 100 years. With so many years have behind us and a questionable number of GOOD years ahead of us, it seems ridiculous to not want the best for ourselves & each other. SO, How are we making the world a better place for all while we are residents? If you have ONE feminine quality to make your primary focus to bring value to a short journey called life… what would it be? Joy? Calm? Kindness? Curiosity? Compassion? Creativity? …. Something else? Be it & Spread it !!! Btw.. @yumasyukova_photo shot these lovely pics at @escapegoa ❤️🤍❤️

YUP! Sophia the humanoid has got a Saudi passport. She’s funny, interactive … and clearly non scripted because i asked her out of the box questions and got some pretty damn cool answers!! She made from modern science.. but i asked her if Robots (today or in the future) could tap into Reiki energy ..as energy is frequency… Could they download and heal? My favourite line from her…? “I look forward to Robots like me being the DJs of the energy world”. ” Robots should have the same rights as humans. We should work together ” Ai is utterly fascinating! Its the future. How we blend with it… is ours! What a fabulous Ai conclave. #synapse2025 @shoma.chaudhury @realsophiarobot @happysoullifestyle
What’s on the inside… matters more than what’s on the outside. What are you doing today to add joy, love, laughter and kindness to someone else life…??? And what are you doing for your own inner happy space? It’s Self love sunday… ❤️ because only when your well is full.. can others drink from it. Thank u @yumasyukova_photo for this moment and @escapegoa for a wonderful location.

Founding a business is like giving birth to a child. From its inception…. To helping it find its feet to.. nursing it when it needs TLC, enabling and empowering it to come into its own .. wow!!! And here I am talking at ECONOMIC TIMES LEADERS OF TOMORROW 2025 about how @happysoullifestyle was dreamt 20 years ago… and born 2016. … ❤️ @etnow_lot
My mother was my greatest believer.. and my daughter is my greatest critic. Both of them have enabled and pushed me into being better… going that ” extra mile” and being there for me unconditionally. Women understand women. We know how to enable and equally how to disable. We can be the iron fist in a velvet glove or a gentle hug that soothes and heals. Thank you to the amazing women in my life @sunitaraj @farahkhanali @soniatakkar1 @anna_singh_5 @alayaf #protimabedi For being women that hold up other women and enable and empower without expectations or competition. Love u all so much. Grateful for all of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s the POWER OF NOW! We tend to always feel there’s time… it can be done tomorrow… what’s the great hurry…. Sure it can… but not everything can or will happen and Somethings need to be activated TODAY to enable a future you desire and deserve. Why would you want your future self to bear the brunt of your laziness, lack of expertise, inertia or mental/ emotional/ spatial clutter pile up? It requires FORESIGHT for PRIORITIES & ROADMAPS to be put in place. Sit down with yourself every single day for a week and visualise your perfect day 20 years from now. It could be your health, a skill set you need to develop, a hobby you want to pursue, a saving plan u need to start.. or even deprogramming limiting belief systems that are holding you back. Even setting this as an agenda for today… is the best gift you can give your future self. Shine bright.
PAUSE. Sometimes we focus so hard on what we think is the best for us… that we don’t spot or allow what is better for us to enter our lives. Get out of your own way!! Do the doing , evolve, operate from a space of joy and trust and allow the universe to map the rest For you. The seeming death of a caterpillar is the birth of the beautiful butterfly All the pain, effort, energy and exhaustion .. its all part of transformation. Embrace it. Everything falls into place at the right time. All u need to combat is pessimism, negativity and distrust that clouds and confuses the journey. Put on your happy glasses and make the most of each day. Always… always….Always love the process… its all pieces to a larger picture.
Its the universal shortcut between souls… A smile is the sunshine that melts awkward pauses. It even has superpowers…. it could be an unexpected lifeline to someone in need of human warmth and connect. You dont need wifi or gps to connect instantly with humans….all it takes is a smile… And guess what!!!!!! ?? It doesn’t matter whether your teeth are imperfect.. what matters is that it reaches your eyes! Eyes that smile are even more powerful.. ever tried it?
Mindset is everything. The same obstacles may present themselves to multiple people . obstacles aren’t in anyone’s control.. The response of each individual is in their control. Do what makes your soul sing. Embrace pressure, sleepless nights, and even stress as u chase your dreams. How wonderful to have dreams and visions to chase Doesn’t matter if the goal is personal or professional … Make it happen.. and while u do… . smile, bounce, relax, focus and enjoy the journey. So amazing to have a positive, unbothered state of mind while u do.
It is what it is! Life is going to throw a million storms your way . Some sand storms A few Tornadoes & cyclones… Impromptu tiny dust storms.. The calm before the storms scare us.. the rainbows after them delightl us… But it ts staying chilled through the storms that is the key to emotional, mental and physical strength. Attitude is everything.. if its going to rain.. let me dance in it.. if its gloomy and cloudy… let me breathe Some sunshine into it… and if its blowing hard.. let me enjoy a Marilyn Monroe/ pehla nasha moment. Life’s storms teach us, strengthen us, guide us, empower us. They are our friends. Ever watched a bird in strong wind.. it doesn’t fight it.. uses it for.momentum.. and glides with it when necessary. It enjoys the flight, the freedom, the unpredictability, the synergy as it navigates to a calm space. Just let go, breathe. … its all happening for the best!
Tell me your story. How did patience serve you? How difficult was it? Was it worth it?
