The run I resisted. Until now…

When I was working in the corporate world my big excuse was I didn’t have the time.
Then running became a big mental block.

It became symbolic of everything I couldn’t get “right”. And when something becomes a trigger for failure, you avoid it.
Until the avoidance itself becomes the real problem.

A few weeks ago, I did my second ever 5k.
The first one was so bad I swore it didn’t count. But done is better than perfect, so I’m counting it now.
The tiny mental shift changed things enough for me to see running as a new friend (whaaa?!). Not the friend who pushes me too hard, the one that shows up when I’m not feeling like myself.

I don’t run for validation.
I don’t run to fix myself.
I run because I have the ability - physically, mentally and emotionally, to do so today.

S E P T E M B E R • end of summer, photo dump 💩 🌼

1-3 • The sweetest weekend celebrating the sweetest couple 💐 loved my bridesmaid duties: bouquet holder, hype girl, photo police and dance floor enthusiast
4-5 • One home is far and being away from home has always been hard. Finding comfort in banana leaves, sadya and a lot of gratitude
6 • hello student life 2.0, lectures, libraries and student discounts! Trinity said “orientation”, I heard “watch Normal People for homework”
7 • Ending summer without running away (I’ll wait for it to get cold). Seeing local, eating local, feeling local.. soft living FTW
8• Hives reminder, when I’m overstimulated it’s so good to be able to listen to my body.
9• Said overstimulation 🤭
10 • Beautiful sunrises are earned. Deep lesson learnt!

This week I’ve done everything I could to feel like myself, be myself and come back to myself.

And I live softly so I can.
So I can choose softness over chaos, presence over autopilot, small joys over constant pressure.

But life will always have its mess, its noise.
And the more I practice softness, the more I remember that I get to choose how I move through it. And right now, I’m choosing me.

My thoughts this Libra season ♎️

Reusing this picture because it’s the best representation of:
• my work-life imbalances
• my brain with way too many tabs open
• my booked, busy, barely breathing schedule
• my presence at work, absence in life
• new level unlocked: perpetual exhaustion
• weekday me vs. weekend me
• my autopilot personality (🤢)
• productivity hangover
• horror movie that was my inbox
• postponed dreams
• postponed living
• self-care being damage control (not even)

I wish this on no one. Please connect if you feel like any of the above 🥲

Apparently we skipped a whole season and jumped straight into winter.

And weirdly, I’m fine with it (?) 🦦

I’m not chasing what’s gone or worried about what’s next. I get to enjoy where I am 🌼

You don’t have to mourn summer to prove you enjoyed it! Thoughts? 💭

Episode 2 • My accidental gap year ⛱️

Listen don’t get me wrong, I’m forever grateful for all the opportunities I got in my corporate career.
I got GOOD global roles, moved continents, lived in major financial cities, worked on incredible projects, the food I ate at work was healthy (& expensive, ngl), the gym was first class.

It’s not that the perks were not real - it’s that hustle culture stretches every perk, every opportunity. And when the novelty wears off, which it does mind you, it becomes proof you’re overworked.

Free food ➡️ you never leave
Global role ➡️ you’re always on
Free cabs ➡️ you’re leaving at 2am

I am not ungrateful, in my accidental gap year I started realising that everything that made my life seem ‘lucky’ started giving me the ick.

The ick = the red flags 🚩
The red flags —> ignored = collapse
Collapse —> the gap year I never planned

If you’re considering a gap year, follow along, get in touch. Do everything I didn’t do 🙌

My accidental gap year got me to question and reframe a lot of things that was all due to my programming and conditioning, not much truth to it.

Can you think of more?

Anti-burnout FRIYAY on Onam!! Double win 🌼🌸

Anti-burnout because N and I took intentional time out to enjoy this feast (sadya) today.

N and I have enjoyed a sadya from the first year that we started dating. So much so that it was a big part of our wedding.

Onam Sadya isn’t just a feast, it’s a whole experience on a banana leaf. Since learning Ayurveda in detail for the last few years I’ve come to understand how many of these traditions weren’t random rituals, they were practical science for daily life, just expressed differently.

Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Mediterranean practices — they all figured out:
• Eat with the seasons 🌦️
• Balance your tastes, elements, energies 🌈
• Use food as medicine 🥘
• Connect with community & nature

Onam ashamsakal to everyone! Maybe next year I’ll wear the white and gold saree again 🥻🧡
