“Firstly, there are too many ‘you have to do this’ ‘you should do this’ or ‘you need to wake up at 5am and jump in an ice bath and mediate for 2 hours’,” says Raichoora.
“Too many options can feel so overwhelming. The key is how do you make it personal FOR YOU. Also it requires experimentation and people don’t always wait long enough to see the results.
“In my teaching, a good wellness practise comprises of three things:
– do one thing for your body every day (e.g walk, gym, sport)
– do one thing for your mind every day (e.g visualisation, read)
– do one thing for your soul everyday (e.g play, laugh, inspire)
“Confidence is also crucial for our well-being. The word comes from confidere, which means ‘with trust’. When you trust yourself more, you feel better in yourself, which will then allow you to curate a routine that works.
“This inner confidence is one that you can practice and train in multiple ways. Things such as keeping promises to yourself, celebrating little wins, pushing yourself out your comfort zone, being of service to others, resting and taking care of your body – all these things help to build your inner confidence.
