  Overcoming a depressing mood can be challenging, but there are various strategies and coping mechanisms that may help improve your mood. It's important to note that if you're experiencing persistent or severe depressive symptoms, it's advisable to seek professional help from a mental health professional. Here are some general tips that may help lift your mood: Reach Out for Support: Share your feelings with someone you trust, such as a friend, family member, or a mental health professional.

Spend time outdoors during daylight hours, or open curtains and blinds to let natural light into your living space....

  3 Ideas From Me I. "The days can be easy if the years are consistent. You can write a book or get in shape or code a piece of software in 30 minutes per day. But the key is you can't miss a bunch of days." ( Share this on Twitter ) ​II. "The wedding is an event, love is a practice. The graduation is an event, education is a practice. The race is an event, fitness is a practice. The heart, mind, and body are endless pursuits." ( Share this on Twitter ) III. "The obvious way to buy back your time is to pay someone to do something for you. Pay the mechanic to change your oil or a dry cleaner to press your suit. The less obvious way to buy back your time is to say no. Passing on a promotion might "buy" you more time with family. Declining the dinner invite might "pay" for the time you need to exercise. We buy back our time not only with the money we spend, but also with the opportunities we decline. The more clearly you know how you want t...

  Sudhanshu was my direct line manager when I was Marketing Manager HHC at Hindustan Unilever. I learned a lot from him thanks to continuous access and On the Job interactions. He is an exceptional manager and an inspiring boss in more ways than one. He uses his two eyes well – An eye for the big picture and the other for detail ! He has enormous intellectual capacity coupled with the ability to work for long periods almost continually (if required). His will and charm marks him out as a person to whom talent gravitates. He has a range of intellectual ability and his power of concentration is as enormous as his memory for detail and facts. In terms of arithmetical computation and analysis, at times, an interaction with him felt like chasing an F-16. Most importantly, he truly believes in delegation . He has a human touch that inspires the team and his unfailing courtesy (extending to appointments management, email etiquette etc) is inspiring. He also calls ...

Don’t give up alcohol – experiment with drinking differently Dr Richard Piper, CEO of Alcohol Change UK The most important thing with alcohol is to get into a situation where you are happy with your drinking. I used to be a very heavy drinker: 60-90 units a week. I can’t tell you how life-changing cutting down has been. To me, life is in colour without drinking, whereas before it was very grey and drab. I would encourage a sense of experimentation in January. It doesn’t have to be all dry. Try to do things a bit differently. If you usually have a drink at a gig, try a dry gig, or go for a meal and have the alcohol-free options. I used to think going out relied on alcohol, and that without it everything would fall ...

I. As we start the new year, a reminder from  Atomic Habits : "New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results." ( Share this on Twitter ) ​II. "A simple filter for managing your time: You're not focused enough unless you're mourning some of the things you're saying no to." ( Share this on Twitter ) III. "Don't worry about being the most interesting person in the room, just try to be the most interested person in the room. The interested person asks about others and leaves a good impression because people like talking about themselves. The interested person is genuinely curious about someone's craft and learns a lot about how things work. The interested person engages with more people and—because opportunities come through people—is more likely to catch a lucky break. In general, the ...

  W ith the Covid-19 pandemic making more people prioritise their health, there is an ever-increasing focus on health care products by consumers today. This demand has resulted in a surge of brands offering dietary supplements and nutraceuticals to help consumers meet their nutrition requirements in the form of pills, gummies, powders, liquids, and other dosage formats. These products promise to improve overall health and boost immunity. But the question is, are these brands delivering on their promises? When Karan Sharma, a Mumbai-based, 26-year-old influencer marketing professional first started consuming a protein powder recommended by his gym trainer in 2019, he would feel dizzy, weak and nauseous. “I consumed the powder for a month, and would get sick almost every other day, but didn’t realise it was because of the protein powder. I blamed other aspects like eating junk food or not getting proper sleep, because everyone at the gym was on some protein supplement or the other. B...
