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.
