Mental Health at the Workplace - Sep 2020Our article on Mental Health at the Workplace, published on the Australian business website:
Snippet below: The mental and emotional health of employees has drawn
great attention in recent times. The global pandemic and its tremendous
repercussions on the way we work and do business emphasises the mental
wellbeing of our people. Many businesses, especially small and
medium-sized companies, are coming to terms with this phenomenon and are
looking at ways to improve the morale and productivity of their virtual
teams in the new world order.
The following tried and tested initiatives are a good
starting point for businesses exploring this concept for the first time.
Most of these practices have been successfully deployed for many years
at various Fortune 1000 companies and hence those experiences can be
invaluable for the smaller companies.

Mindfulness during workouts - Aug 2020Our article on "how-to-practice-mindfulness-workouts-or-mindfulness-walking" is published on
Snippet below:
Are you the sort of person who does not want to sit and meditate? Do
you hate sitting still and trying to focus on your breath? Do you feel
guilty that you are missing out on the benefits of mindfulness
meditation?
Would you rather like to use your workout time to include some easy mindfulness as well?
Why not? There is a simple technique that I can suggest which will
bring mindfulness practice into your workout routine. You might be doing
your Yoga, or you are out on your daily walk, or even working out in
the gym. Enjoy the blissful harmony of mind and body and get your dose
of physical and mental fitness through mindfulness during gentle
workouts.
So how to include mindfulness practice into your exercise routine?
No, I do not have a mindfulness walking script that you need to by-heart
and utter out like a mantra. Instead, just remember the IPOD method. Startup mentorship - Aug 20Thanks to mystartupyatra for featuring us on the Virtual Mentorship journey. It was great to meet some promising startups and passionate entrepreneurs. We wish you all the very best and great success in your journey.
