Being Better
The year 2020 changed the way we lived, worked, learned – practically every aspect of how we function as a society. I can only imagine historians trying to fit this past year into a textbook for future generations to learn! With that said, I feel like I can speak for many of us when I say that we have emotional whiplash from the amount of changes we have had to assimilate in short periods of time. It kind of felt like every time I got my head around one change another was just over the horizon. I think this has left many of us feeling as if the very foundation on which we stand is shaky and unstable.

Letting Go
It would be fair to say that few people thoroughly enjoyed 2020 - one could even go so far as to say few people didn't have an outright bad time. Taking into consideration all of the shortcomings offered to us by this storied year, I've found myself coming to the realization that while I did not have much to show in the way of physical accomplishments for the year, the greatest thing to come out of 2020 was an ability to slow down and spend time introspectively.

Have You Ever Checked Your Heart Rate?
Heart Rate. The other day, I was climbing one of the small hills in Madurai (located in the state of TamilNadu, India) along with my friends. While a few of us could climb with easier efforts, a few struggled a bit, with their breathing strained. Only with adequate breaks, by catching up with their breath, they could climb. Of course, the hill had good and well-structured stairs to climb.

A First Timer's Experience Giving Blood
I feel like personally, organ donation is talked about a lot more than blood donation. For me, I heard about organ donation as a child and signed up for it as soon as I was able to, but I don’t think I’d heard of anyone giving blood until my housemate did at university.

What’s Weight Got to Do, Got To Do With It?
If COVID-19 hadn’t shut down most of the gyms already, this would be the time thousands of recent subscribers would be throwing in the towel on their resolutions to lose weight in 2021. This is what typically happens every year. People resolve to lose weight and join a gym to do the active part of their doctor’s or their nutritionist’s advice of “eat less and move more.”

Chiropractic Care: What is the Hype About?
Chiropractic care revolves around providing treatments for chronic low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. Most people seek chiropractic therapy for spinal manipulation and fixation. Any minor injury to the spine or overuse of the muscles can alter a body’s strength, sensation, and performance. According to the top chiropractor in Islamabad, regular chiropractic treatment can play an important role in restoring the health of a person.

Just. Make. A. Decision
I've never been the one to write down my resolutions, burn them in the fire, and wish on a star. I thought it was useless. The past two New Years, I found myself huddled in my room on my bed crying. Always something goes wrong. This past year hasn't been easy, and in fact, I found 2020 one of the most challenging years so far. Imagine, I graduate high school, my Europe trip is in a couple of months, and I'm planning on building a tiny house. Suddenly, everything in the world stops, strapped for cash, my first overseas trip is out the window, I declined the only university that accepted me, toilet paper is hard to come by, and I can't even go to the beach? I thought the end was near, or maybe I had too many conspiracies in my head. New world order, as they call it. Even so, 2020 seemed to fly by, and that was the scariest part. I hadn't lived a year noticing it before, seeing the weeks and months rolling by. I know one thing, if I continue to live every year like 2020, and start something new, I would get stuck here. Stuck, with the same people I see, stuck driving the same road every morning, and worst stuck seeing the same barista every Sunday morning. The following you are about to read is what I have decided no longer serve me and the subtle changes I am implementing into my life. Enjoy.
