Make running a healthy routine It was great reading the lead story, Run for Your  Life, in the March 2023 issue of Life Positive,  which elucidates both the physical and spiritual  benefits of running. I gained a lot of knowledge  about running customs and traditions from  around the world and felt motivated to attempt  to run at least once each week. My mood has  improved significantly as a result, and I now  understand the reason. I will definitely include  more of running in my life, now that I am aware  of its spiritual advantages. In my opinion we  should all include jogging in our lives rather  than visit gyms or shop for expensive exercise  plans.

The cover article, Run For Your Life, in the  March 2023 issue of the magazine brought  to mind Forrest Gump, one of my favourite  movies, as well as the strength of running. In  my experience, going for a run helps me feel  better whenever I’m stressed. I had no idea that  this was related to spiritual growth as well, and  it’s something that this article so masterfully  highlights. Because this piece has highlighted  all the advantages of running, I now intend  to do it regularly rather than only when I’m  stressed. We appreciate this fantastic article  from Life Positive and Rishi Rathod.

Pointers for the right choice

Finding the right partner is the greatest gift  we can have in life. My mother used to always  tell me, “No matter how successful you are,  being successful in marriage is what makes us  truly successful.” This is true because we can  change jobs easily but not our partners. Navni  Chawla’s article, Recipe for the Right Partner, in  the March 2023 issue has covered many aspects  of the challenge and has provided us with  numerous tips on how to go about finding the  ideal partner for ourselves. Yes, marriages are  said to be made in heaven, but we can create  heaven in marriage if we find the right one.

In India, marriages usually involve the joining  of two families, not just the man and the woman.  Finding the ideal mate is really challenging  because of this. Navni Chawla, in her article,  Recipe for the Right Partner, in the March 2023  issue of Life Positive has discussed a number of things that we should consider in addition to selecting  a companion. This will undoubtedly be helpful to many individuals. I have, therefore, told my  friends who frequently ask me to help them find matches for their friends and family members to  read this article. There is much we can learn from this fantastic piece.

Probing bipolar disorder 

When we can understand physical health issues, why can’t we do so for mental issues? I have a  friend who is suffering from bipolar disorder, and nobody understands her plight. The article,  Bipolar Disorder: The Inner Story, by Marita Nazareth in the March 2023 issue of Life Positive was very  insightful, and I look forward to the next part on this oft-neglected subject. A greater understanding  of bipolar disorder will follow as a result of greater awareness of the topic. Life Positive is to be  commended for publishing this much-needed article.
