Live Better Every Day
By - Radhika Bhirani
Life is uncertain. Death is not. It is inevitable. You never know when it comes knocking at your door. And so, this time on Health Shots InFocus, your weekly dose of wellness, I am choosing to zoom into why living life to the fullest should be your focus each day.
Even as scientists across the world conduct multiple studies on increasing a person’s longevity, there’s nothing quite like improving and increasing life experiences. For, even if you live till 80 and don’t ever do what your heart desires or whatever feels right, what a waste of life.
It may not come naturally to many people. But when you live better, living longer becomes only a sweeter experience. I am reminded of Katrina Kaif’s popular line from Bollywood film Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobaara – “Seize the day, my friend!” Most of us are so caught up in the fast-paced rat race that ‘slow and steady wins the race’ finds barely any space in our mind space. But are we truly living life or just letting each day pass without making the most of it?
I, for one, am not. On most days, I find myself just sailing through, riding the roller-coasters of emotions, work, relationships, and personal desires. But am I really living it up? There’s a huge scope for improvement, I’d say.
Acknowledging this can also be your first step towards making every healthy change your body, mind, and soul need to live larger and longer than life
