ReplyDeleteThanks Sandhya
DeleteTruly said, but how may people have the discipline to do it daily?
ReplyDeleteYes as I had mentioned, the easier way to do exercises daily is to include it as part of your life while you sit, stand or lie down.
DeleteLike when you go to bed at night, usually you don't fall asleep immediately. So spend few minutes to rotate you wrist, ankle etc during this time. You can also try the mind exercises while you lie down.
Also when you sit and do your work you can do some kind of stretching, arm shake etc.
These are some easy ways to include some exercises.
Positive affirmations are very important. You have shared some good points in this post.
