Health is wealth is a recurring theme, because my blog was named Healthwealthbridge for a reason. I realized that the only way to grow any kind of resource say it wealth, or creativity one has to be healthy. Illness derails productivity and enthusiasm.

I also published an Alexa skill Healthwealthbridge Flash. It’s a cool way to listen to my Podcast on Alexa and get quick health updates. You can enable it for free today!

I am trying out creating Alexa skills. If you want to listen to this just get the Alexa app from the Google play store and you can set it up even if you don’t have an Alexa device. When it comes to Alexa my bestie told me, only her children use the Alexa device. It made me wonder whether I should make content for kids on Alexa?

Freedom from Bad Nutrition Advice: Healthwealthbridge Podcast

Google podcast Healthwealthbridge

I was chatting with a long term friend about the expectations we have from our parents. Does it even make sense?

Why even as adults, we want help?I don’t know but I feel it has something to do with the Indian social structure. It’s both a good thing and a bad thing. Good that it builds a close-knit social structure.Bad because it doesn’t prepare you to cope.

While the perfect scenario would be where everyone helps everyone else and lives happily ever after

Reality is we all deal with our own stuff and at the end of the day feel happy that we survived. Living life one day at a time gives us a chance to have grace .to accept to keep at it even when things appear difficult.

My home was under construction and the builder had delayed the project for almost two years. While this was stressful I prayed hard and was grateful that I still had a shelter over my head.

How is the Health of the Nation: The report is an eye-opener!

Rakhi has beautiful memories growing up. While I  tied Rakhi to my cousin brother and my sister too, we gave gifts which parents brought for us.

Nowadays its easier to shop for gifts online for any occasions and Rakhi is no exception.  When you are a child gifts means unwrapping shiny brightly colored packages, filled with art supplies storybooks. Then with growing up, it gets trickier. But now, no more worries about gifting ideas.

The best gift for Rakhi is a gift of Health, and that’s my mantra this Rakhi. If you want to send Rakhi gifts to India then read on I have some great ideas to share.

A few days back while discussing with my friend about a severe health condition her thirty-something brother was facing, we understood that health concerns and the money needed to address the issues worry all of us most. But what can you do really? Adults know what’s right for them and choose the lives they lead by their habits and mindset.

This conversation got me thinking. How can I send my brother Rakhi gift to India? How can I send him Health, gift wrapped? I can nag him, but that has limited longevity and even lower effect.

Then it came to me while watering my plants. Yes, you guessed it, they are a source of my inspiration every morning!

Now for the gift ideas

Rakhi Gifts Online to gift good Health

Loads of love and best wishes and the with a handmade card.

A mixed fruit basket, a dry fruit basket may be an Organic  Health friendly daily staples hamper!

Physical, mental, emotional, and social Health are all needed. But how do you take care when you send a gift? When you give them something edible, they eat it, and it’s over. But if its something healthy with every bite you are helping them. Then when it’s over, they will remember the taste and seek similar Health-promoting food.

Encouragement for daily exercise

Something for his home gym, subscription to his favorite gym or activity center Maybe tennis or badminton classes

When you encourage them to start a healthy regular exercise routine. They will look at the yoga mat or a pair of dumbbell every day, and it will give them that same nagging feeling that you used to give as a sister and  he will do his Surya  namaskar with vigor lift those dumbbell’s while watching TV and not be a couch potato, music lessons photography clubs hiking clubs art classes anything which will encourage him to nurture  his creativity and encourage Emotional Health.

Plants have a way of improving emotional Health wherever we are. They also help inspire you and make the indoor air cleaner. If your brother is not a green thumb, don’t worry you can still send him low care needed type plant and  looking at the green one does feel good!

Because Health is wealth. It’s a great way to beat those blues which come with busy lifestyles and lack of self-care. When you send gifts like these, wrapped up in your love and best wishes, your brother will feel it. Health is an individual choice of a healthy lifestyle to a large extent, but as social support, you can help by gifting health gift wrapped.

Have a lovely Raksha Bandhan and tell me about your plans this Rakhi for your brother!

The business that never was!

Now Tim Ferris has written a very interesting Blog post.He recently stopped his ad supported model of podcast and started a fan supported special offering podcast.

In spite of his support base and tremendous value he offers in his work,he decided to call it off!You need to read the post to understand details,but from what I understood;

It’s easier to have a business to business model for generating revenue ,than solely focused on individual customers.

Makes one wonder.

Now I was talking to a few people about starting a venture.Eight months back I was sure we would be ready to launch in February 2019,latest by April.We were just waiting for the right location.
It’s July now and I can say with ninety five percent confidence,that plan is scraped in all probability.

Seth Godin in his book, This is Marketing says wise words

How many of us like the idea of managing a business?
I am not even sure I would know how to do it! I am okay with digital entrepreneurship. But the energy loss and economics (you know right?)of starting and attempting to start anything offline, can give many brave hearts a heart attack. +Good news is that the Government both at the State and the center want small business to prosper. The question is what do you start with?

Have you ever been confused about decisions you made about things that happened for no reason which changed your plans?

Lessons I learned after trying partnership for the sixth time ????

Whatever happens, is part of a bigger plan. Adversity is not all bad. It’s like a treasure hunt. Happiness and peace of mind are always on the table. Anything hampering these two is a recipe for disaster.

When you have to choose one of them, you must choose peace. Happiness resides in a peaceful heart.

Practice thankfulness at all times even when things don’t make sense.

Look at the rainbow. Create something magical.

White light hides a rainbow inside. Even simple things can be magical.

Something that gives you meaning in life is worth pursuing.

It’s always a good idea to trust your gut and check with logic.
Have at least one person in your life with whom you can share crazy ideas
Don’t give up.

Do what you are good at.
Find employment which doesn’t prevent entrepreneurship.It may be difficult but possible.

Nurture creativity because it’s great for you.

Plant trees.

Make an indoor garden.

Buy a home or rent one which you can clean without help or AI

Invest in mental wellness and overall health. That’s the best health insurance.

How did you cope?
Do you have faith that whatever happens is for the best?
