While switching on the laptop, take a few moments to feel your feet on the ground as a way of coming back to yourself."Prioritize Health & MovementDr Saroja also points out places where women professionals currently lack. She says, "Women tend to neglect their health. However, they must monitor their well-being attentively. "Addressing minor health concerns promptly can prevent larger issues, leading to a happier and healthier you." Sandy also stresses this point. She says, "The body speaks. Listen to the body for its signals and cues."Dr. Saroja also talks about choosing expressive movement. She suggests that women must look beyond exercise and select activities that resonate with their spirit--be it Zumba, yoga, gym, or outdoor runs. "Dedicate time each day to these movements, embracing variety to keep your routine vibrant," she adds.She also cautions women against professional isolation and not being flexible. She explains, "Cultivate nurturing professional interactions and distance yourself from toxicity. Engage with physical networking groups; face-to-face connections can be transformative. Embody the flexibility of a palm in a storm--bend, but don't break. Adaptability can be your strength in navigating life's complexities."Get In Touch With `Yourself'Sandy stresses the importance for women to be in touch with who they are and what they enjoy. She suggests, "Develop an ongoing steady practice of a sitting meditation or movement that brings you in touch with who you are."Sandy also suggests understanding what feels resourceful to oneself. "A resource is anything that brings us in touch with our sense of ease and resilience. It could be anything, like talking to a trusted friend, being in nature, engaging in something creative. You can also Develop a self-talk (an inner commentary) that is also kind, compassionate, and nurturing. When we have this ground, we can respond to whatever is needed with more ease, clarity, and self-kindness."Women's mental health and wellbeing has always been a cause of concern. We hope this sound advice from wellness experts becomes the resource in your arsenal. Women of the world, go out there and conquer the world but don't forget to take care of yourselves in the process.
