Patience is often held as a high virtue. A moral principle that is either very hard to come by or a natural temperament that people are born with. In all actuality, patience can be honed, just like any other skill.

Anger and frustration are results of a well-meaning battle that we lose with patience. Some of us are lesser equipped with this necessary virtue than others, short temper, frustration, and inappropriate behaviour is something we have all faced in face of stress.

Practising patience on and off the mat is a large part of the Yogic philosophy. Patience brings balance to the mind and body allowing the individual to wade through situations and challenges at ease.

Our ability to be patient is tied to our emotional and mental state of mind. Something which can be explored through the flow of your yoga practice. The transition from one asana to another is just as important as holding and striking a pose. The slow flow between asanas builds awareness for the moment and honours its existence. Learning to take life as it flows, minute to minute is the greatest takeaway from a yoga practice.

Breathing, while holding a pose determines resilience and hardiness applicable to incidents in life that require as much flexibility, twists and turns as that yoga pose, you grapple to hold. Stability, be it in life or on the mat comes with patience, something which the quaintest of poses can teach you. 

## Here are some poses that will help you explore and gain the technique to be patient:
- The Tree Pose - This pose teaches you how to stay balanced (link to the article on balance) and grounded even in adverse situations, like a tree in the midst of a windstorm. Your breathing and determination to stay upright and not wobble, it teaches you patience like no other pose.
- Half-moon pose - This pose is great for cultivating patience as it asks of the body a slow transition with extremely focused breathing. This movement gives you a great insight into how you would respond to new and challenging situations off the mat.
- Warrior 1 - This pose demands strength of the body and mind, resilience and flexibility. A test for the senses, the stretch could burn, and expose you to face and overcome mental conflicts.
- Warrior 2- This variation of the warrior pose, pushes your limits further, encourages you to lift barriers and be patient and understand your body.
- Shavasana - The corpse pose is a few lectures worth- on patience. The slow breathwork putting your mind and body in silence and entering a state of Yoga Nidra requires you to be patient with every single aspect of your being. Only with great love and acceptance does a person enter a state of deep relaxation.

Your body is the reflection of nature itself, and being patient with yourself reflects in the brilliant resonance of all that is around you. A yoga practice earnestly instils this quality in you, on and off the mat.

Yoga is a great route to learn the art of patience, it will ground you, centre you a humble you in an effective way. Namaste!

Patience is often held as a high virtue. Practising patience on and off the mat is a large part of the Yogic philosophy. Patience brings balance to the mind and body allowing the individual to wade through situations and challenges at ease.

3. Inhale deep-ly, using the diaphragm. 
4. As you inhale, the diaphragm will move down-ward, pushing the abdominal contents down and out, making the abdomen rise. 
5. On exhalation the diaphragm moves upwards and the abdomen falls. 
6. Continue the practice. 

## 12. Thoracic breathing

![Breath Awareness](//images.ctfassets.net/1tp0n7niw68j/wRLda49u8MdClWhbeVJw0/505e679eb15d8a5a9393adea55b04ce3/Breath_Awareness.jpg)

This type of breathing is mostly helpful to create awareness in how we breathe and as a stepping stone to learning yogic breathing. It is the common way many of us breathe which expends more energy than abdominal breathing.

To practice thoracic breathing one starts with breath awareness and then tries to focus on expanding the ribcage only, without using the diaphragm. The focus should be only on the expansion of the chest as one inhales and the contraction of the chest as one exhales.

## 13. Clavicular breathing

![Pranayama](//images.ctfassets.net/1tp0n7niw68j/5OX6iQaZLCoZPEB9hNvaso/c5c556d6f54188dd1175e367a28de97e/Ujjayi.jpg)

This type of breathing is generally done in combination with thoracic breathing in periods of great stress such as strong physical exertion or ob-structive airways problems such as asthma or emphysema. The upper ribs and collar bones are pulled upward by the sternum and neck and this al-lows more air into the lungs. In yoga we only use it alone to create aware-ness and then afterwards combine it with thoracic and abdominal breath-ing to form yogic breathing.

To practice clavicular breathing one starts with breath awareness and then thoracic breathing for a few minutes. After that breathe in fully, into the chest, from there try to breathe in a little more so that one can feel the ex-pansion right into the upper lungs. The collar bones and shoulders will raise up slightly. Next exhale, first relaxing the neck and upper chest and then the ribcage. Continue a few rounds.

This breathing involves the use of all the breathing muscles- diaphragm, thoracic and clavicular. It can also be practiced before other breathing techniques. It allows one to have maximum inhalation and exhalation.

Inhale slowly, allowing the abdomen to rise. When the abdomen had ex-panded as much as it can allow the chest to expand outward and upward. Once the ribs have expanded as much as they can inhale a little more so that the collar bones move up slightly. Then slowly exhale first allowing the collar bones to move downward, then the chest and finally the abdomen. Continue the practice without any strain, jerks or tension. The breath should feel natural and after some time it should be mostly thoracic and abdominal breathing. Abdominal breathing should be at least 70% of the breath.

- Soups are perfect for any weather. They are easy to digest saving your digestive system from working overtime. Keep in mind to use chopped chunks of vegetables to retain fibre while preparing soup.

- There are low-calorie foods like lentils and beans, leafy greens like spinach,  avocados, broccoli, green peas that are naturally high in vitamins and minerals these help produce melatonin, the sleep hormone.

## FOODS TO AVOID

- Avoid fatty, greasy and spicy food before bedtime. These can easily work towards disrupting your sleep. Stay away from sugary drinks and sodas too.

- Green tea is best when taken during the day. What you may not know is that green tea is not decaffeinated, that’s the component that disrupts your sleep.

It requires practice to stay positive. As mentioned earlier, you can't suddenly choose to be positive and imagine scenarios that are life-changing instantly. Your decision to be positive is only the start of the beautiful things that you're about to experience. It is an everyday affair. In fact, studies suggest that, if you are to repeat certain positive thoughts to yourself every morning after you wake up, it surely changes the way you counter your daily tasks. And that is how you get into 'the practice'.

Here are 7 affirmations that will help you stay positive in your high and low tides.

1. Today, I am and brimming with joy and full of energy!

Waking up with this thought every morning is a mood changer. When you say and believe that you're overflowing with energy and joy, slowly your body and mind begin to believe the same. And that is the pulse you start your day with!

2. I have a healthy body, a sound mind, and a tranquil soul.

There are times when you'd feel like you are going to fall sick or experience a low day where you cannot fathom the reason. Such mood swings are normal and are bound to occur when the subconscious is pre-occupied with thoughts. In such a case, repeating and self-affirming that you are indeed fine is required.

PS: However, if such feelings persist over a prolonged period, then medical help can be sought.

3. It is okay to say "No" when I do not have the time or inclination to act.

We often tend to subdue what our heart feels and go ahead with the mind's voice in certain situations. This act is mostly based on our prejudices of how society might see us if we say a "NO." It is essential to understand that sometimes it's okay to turn down things and put ourselves head, our peace, and vulnerability in front of societal predisposes.

4. Everything that has happened, is happening now and is about to happen, is for my ultimate good. 

This affirmation will give you the strength to take into stride everything good or bad that happens around you. It's always "hope" that will keep you going. And this affirmation gives you the hope that better days are coming your way.

5. I do not bow down to my fears.

Fear is a common disruptor. Fear of the society, fear of prejudices, fear of failure or fear of anything as simple as crossing the road! All these are just inhibitors to our success and even daily lives. The day we decide to not let our fears affect us and overtake them is the day we begin to succeed!

6. I am eternally grateful for the things I have.

It's okay to aspire, it's okay to wish for things, but it's not okay to let greed overtake you. Being content and happy with everything you possess is the key to maintaining sanity, peace, and happiness in life. Your needs will change, you might want something today and something else tomorrow, but what'll make you happy is the understanding that you can achieve or buy the things that you wish for. But if a situation arises where you cannot, then not getting dejected and counting your blessings is what makes the difference.

7. I will defeat my distractions and win my goals.

The biggest challenges on your path to achieving your goals is not the choice of path, but winning over your distractions. Repeat to yourself how important your goal and the victory is to you. Imagine you in the winning situation. The feel, the adrenaline rush etc, will make you crave victory more than ever. And at that point, tell yourself that your distractions can't deter you, believe in it and see the affirmation working it's magic!

All that said, you have to keep in mind that affirmations aren't the cure to the various mental blockages or illnesses that you might be undergoing. They are merely a facilitator to you on your path. They help you believe, tune your mind and body to your rhythm and set you on the path of your goals. From where your actions will define your way. Practicing Yoga and mindfulness coupled with these affirmations every day can work wonders for you. It'll help you channel positivity from within, boost your self-esteem such that you emanate an aura of self-confidence and poise. All ready to take over the world!

The wise Dalai Lama once said, "The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness." This quote has the power to change your thoughts and invariably your life. And that"s why this will be our discussion today.
Gratitude, a word that is slowly picking pace. But what does it truly mean and why is it important? Let"s see.

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. It is more powerful than merely saying 'thank you' it translates and is visible in your thoughts and actions.

If someone were to tell you that gratitude can change your lives, you might just laugh it away. In reality, what was told to you is right and here's how. 

Research conducted by Robert Emmons found that Gratitude improves physical, mental and relational well-being. Additionally, gratitude impacts your overall feeling of being happy.

Paying attention to the things that matter to us, the ones that we are grateful for induces us with positivity. 

The proverb "Count your blessings and not your troubles" is a famous one, the meaning of which is not often understood by many. This proverb, in fact, is one of our early introductions to the practice of Gratitude. It simply means, when you count your blessings you have more reasons to be happy and thankful for when compared to the count of your sorrows. And that's another reason to be happy right?

Simply put, the following can be explained as the benefits of being grateful or practicing gratitude. 

Benefits of Gratitude:

- You become more optimistic about life and all its situations.
- It improves physical, emotional, and social well-being making you a better person altogether. Someone who values even the most minute things in life.
- Your self-esteem increases and you are able to connect better with yourself and your feelings even during the times of adversity and coping with losses.
- A grateful person is always beaming with a smile and heightened energy levels, carrying an aura of positivity everywhere!
- When you are grateful, you're happy. When you are happy your body and mind are in sync and are stronger. Gratitude is a powerful mechanism. It improves your emotional and academic intelligence. It relieves you of mental decapitators like stress, anxiety, depression and more. It also strengthens your immune system, your heart and also decreases blood pressure.
- With gratitude, you are more open to forgiving. Holding grudges and pangs of revenge are things of the past. With a thankful heart, you are more likely to have a softened heart and a stronger mind who can disregard petty issues and lead a life with vigor. 
- Being grateful makes you value yourself more. Self-care becomes a priority and that is a plus! 

All in all, gratitude is an ability to see something bigger than what meets us on the face. It's a chance to rekindle the feeling of love, warmth, and humanity that are slowly disappearing. It also is our chance to connect better with the universe.

To describe it poetically like William Arthur Ward "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." 

So, it's time to give away the present we all have been holding back, knowingly or unknowingly. Let us be empowered by the power of gratitude!

In the present era, we multitask all the time. Focusing and regulating one's breath improves brain functioning and mobility which helps rational thinking and decision making.

Regular practice of Yoga increases the flow of blood through the body and to the brain. Yoga results in body mobility. As the movement in yoga asanas involve stretching of limbs and muscles, it improves flexibility and mobility. The stretching and strengthening results in the release of pressure in the joints, thus making them stronger.

Sleep is one of the most important things that both our body and mind need. 1 in every 3 individuals suffers from at least mild cases of insomnia. Complains about either lack of sleep or sleeplessness or the quality of sleep itself is increasing alarmingly. With the adequate and proper amount of sleep, one gains the capability to function to their full potential throughout the day, with a lightened mood and results in increased productivity. Better sleep also directly results in better physical and mental health. The mind thinks through the day and even more during the night. Yoga helps calm the mind and improves the sleep pattern. The meditative techniques used in Yoga help enhance sleeping patterns and ensure deep and undisturbed sleep.

Yoga is not just a healthy practice, but it is a lifestyle that helps adapt the better version of our current lives while harmonizing the body, mind, and soul. A little Yoga is necessary to keep your living enhanced and blissful!

Yoga : A community for Divas

A woman plays multiple roles in the everyday life. A daughter, wife, mother, badass CEO, creative director and so on.

It is just endless, the hats she wears. Most important thing in such a situation is to attain awareness. Awareness of self, body, mind and soul comes through yoga. It is what makes a woman a diva that she is born to be.

Very often, we are ruled by our mind and not the other way round where the mind should be ruled by us. Hence, we become just machines who executes the command from the mind, not being completely aware and just driven by impulses. Yoga through meditation and asanas helps one to be more in tune with oneself, creating awareness of the self, body, mind, soul and surroundings. Breathing helps one be aware of the present moment and let go of all that is holding one back, making one feel lighter and more aware. When one is more aware, the decisions are made clearly, things are perceived better, thoughts become more coherent and actions become consistent.
