Making my life Bigger and Better
"Worry about being better; bigger will take care of itself" - Gary Comer
I believe that in the journey of growing better, we face many challenges. But, it is only during tough times that our patience is tested.
It was October 2017, when a blood test and an ultrasound later confirmed it - PCOS, Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. It was the same time when I was having hard time in office and was also preparing CAT exam. I was struggling with symptoms like sudden weight gain, pimples and oily skin, facial hair and irregular menstrual cycles. I had terrible mood swings and I also faced depression. I felt a void growing inside of me. My doctors told me “You just have to live with these symptoms for the rest of your life!”. To make things worse, no one understood me.
It was then when I realized that I had to empower myself and take control of my health. I had to do it for myself and no one else could. No pill, no doctor. I’ve actually, I just changed my lifestyle, I do exercise everyday which I never used to do so I do aerobics or Zumba or whatever but I do an hour at the gym every day. Meditating for 15 minutes before bed changed my life completely.
My confidence was boosted. I got promoted at work and I felt confident enough to travel. I did a lot of the things that I didn’t do before.
I started feeling good about myself. I discovered that I had a long way to go and that PCOD cannot really stop me!
No one’s life is perfect. But we all have a lot to be thankful for. I too have a lot to be thankful for. The fact that I am healthy, that I am being loved, that I have a vision for tomorrow, gives me a sense of deep satisfaction.
