ReFind You

What a day! What an experience! What a challenge — in all the best ways! 🏋️‍♀️🔥

Yesterday, I took on the Cult Unbound Challenge, and it was nothing short of incredible.
Despite nursing a glute sprain, I showed up — mindfully, intentionally, and with deep respect for my body. I knew my personal record on the deadlift was higher, but I consciously chose to go 15 kg lower — because healing is way more important to me than proving anything to anyone!

✨ This challenge was not just physical — it was emotional, mental, and deeply personal.
And I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

From the rock-solid support of my coaches who guided us patiently and powerfully…not just on the day of the event, but every single day! Thank youuu for the tips for “nananana re 😂 (shariq I met you for the first time, but what an amazing experience it was.. looking forward to training with you too), Prabhakar, Tabu, Pankaj, and a couple others whose names I don’t recall! Thanks for the insta tips 😁

To my amazing friend who signed up instantly when I asked — travelled from afar and partnered with me through every rep, every round, every moment…it made the entire experience so much more fun!

To my cheer squad of family and friends whose energy lifted me every time I felt the twinge… thank you for those loud screams and cheer. It truly helped!

My lovely brother Kartik and mom who came all the way to cheer for me! I felt so loved!!

And most of all, to AJ , my best friend, my biggest cheerleader — who was right there, cheering me on, capturing the memories, and being the unwavering, camera-holding, proud husband.. my friends were super thrilled to get their pics too! So thanks for that.. thats a job well done 😜

I walked away with sore muscles and a fuller heart. Grateful for every person, every push, and every pause.

Today, as we wish others on Teachers’ Day, let’s take a moment to acknowledge the biggest teacher - we ourselves.

We’ve done the best that we could, taught ourselves how to survive, thrive and be better in the best way possible.

If we didn’t choose to unlearn and relearn, no teacher with the best skills would have been able to help us.

So cheers to YOU! 🤩😍❤️

Stress may not disappear overnight, but how we show up for ourselves each day can make all the difference. ✨
Daily practices act like small anchors—helping us return to calm, clarity, and balance even when life feels overwhelming.

Which of these have you been practising regularly? I’d love to know.
