Ep #77 Summer Wellness: Interview with Dr Anita Jain on “Enjoying the Journey of Wellness”

The Happiness Project

The journey towards wellness has taught me that wellness is just not just about the ‘physical aspect rather about each and every aspect of our being – from physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. And it’s so important to consistently keep a check on how we are doing in each of these areas! Wellness can often feel like an all-or-nothing pursuit — like if you don’t have time to do it all perfectly, you might as well not bother with anything at all. But even small, simple changes can drastically improve your health. I am going to share a couple of things to quickly summarise this series and most importantly introduce you’ll to our guest on this show today. I am so delighted to have Dr. Anita Jain, who is a Homeopath for over two decades, is also a mother who is constantly juggling between different roles in her life (and killing it), who shares some incredible ways to make wellness our priority. Her journey towards wellness has been extremely inspiring especially because she has grown through what she has gone through in life. And her journey with skin issues and infertility for years helped her understand the importance of wellness in a very different light - of how wellness is not just physical, and how all areas of wellness are interlinked. She grew up with a very uptight and a disciplined father that put a lot of pressure on her and somehow that led her to pleasing people throughout her life. In fact, she continued to please people even after she got married and had this immense pressure to prove everyone and be perfect - that led to put her needs aside. Well, over the years, so many experiences led her to make herself a priority and in this episode, she emphasises on the importance of self-love, self-care, the important of saying no to people, putting your needs first, enjoying the process, accepting and embracing our flaws, and most importantly understanding our triggers when they pop up! I am so excited for this interview especially because I am interviewing my aunt Dr Anita Jain for the Summer Wellness series. Do tune in to the entire episode because we touch base upon ways we can achieve a healthy lifestyle, on how we can incorporate small ways that can have a leading impact on our well-being, and how imbalance in one area of our life can lead to an imbalance in our overall wellbeing. In fact, we also discuss about how we can achieve an optimum level of wellbeing in each area of our life during the pandemic and under lockdown and also how binge-eating and guilt tripping are the major causes of an unhealthy lifestyle. So tune in and take with you all the important remedies/ suggestions from our expert Dr Anita Jain to kickstart your journey on wellness!!!
