After reading the article, I worked on
The article Hop on the Hobby Horse in the September 2022 issue made me realise how I can spend my time fruitfully instead of wasting it. I rekindled all my talents like music, and I must say I am much happier than before. The bonus is that I have also made new friends with similar interests and look forward to each day with interest and verve. I have begun writing down all the songs I like in a journal as school children do. Even my children have noticed me looking happier and, according to them, even younger. They are proud of me for learning new songs all the time. Thank you, Life Positive.

Article set the balance right
The article on work-life balance, The Balancing Act, by Archana Raghuram in the September 2022 issue was wonderful. I used to keep thinking I was neglecting my house due to my high-pressure job in a multinational company, but I realised it is not possible to be the best in everything.
getting more help both at home and in the office, and soon, I was able to manage life well, including a personal fitness routine. The main advantage has been low stress and more enjoyment in all areas. This made me realise how important it is to get one’s priorities right.

Investing in independence
The article Financial Emancipation of Women in the September 2022 issue was truly inspiring. Financial planning is something I never bothered about, as my husband took care of the finances while I just did some basic home and kitchen management. After reading this article, I too started thinking about investing and ensured that I saved and invested in some mutual funds that I could easily handle on my own. Although I could have asked others to do this for me, I didn’t, as I wanted to be completely independent on the financial front also. Thanks, Life Positive, for all your well-researched guidance.

Deepa’s advice goes deep
The article Listen to Your Body by Deepa Mahesh in the September 2022 issue was insightful and educational. We are never instructed to listen to our bodies, so it almost seems absurd to do so. I am impressed by the author’s ability to illustrate how we might connect with our bodies in such a brief article. In addition, I found it amazing that the body
can express itself through metaphors like music, colour, or a picture. For years, I had neglected the ache in my lower back. After reading this article, I sat down to listen to what my body had to say about it. I have not yet been able to figure out the solution, but in the process, I have developed a tremendous sensitivity to my own body.
