TIPS FOR A STRESS-FREE Diwali THIS YEAR

As a community, we very strongly believe that woman is solely responsible for taking care of all the preparations for Diwali or any festive day. She needs to be involved in deciding what must be cooked, how the house must be cleaned, etc.

- 

Especially, in joint families or those with elders and conservative mindsets who religiously follow festive rituals, women are bound to follow 'guidelines' perfectly and prepare for the family, which adds to their mental burden and can cause stress.

There are barely enough hours in the day - work 9-5, get ready, attend Diwali parties, get adequate sleep and maintain healthy eating habits plus account for the time you'll spend stuck in traffic.

Dealing with festive blues & enjoying the festive season without feeling burdened is very much needed.

Stress-free Diwali Tips

Practice facial and breathing exercises or wrist and neck stretches to take charge of yourself.

Breathing techniques are exercises to improve your lung health for better respiration and relieve stress.
