Quarantine, Yoga & Chill 🧘🏻‍♀️

Quarantine, Yoga & chill ❤️

In May 2017, I suffered from a fall and completely tore my ligament of the Left ankle, on the road walking uphill from my shoot and immediately went into a big fear that how will I ever run and ride again.

Went with the best doctors available, did all PhysioTherapy and tried my best to heal, however the complete tier comes along it’s own set of pros and cons.

In addition it’s a joint that needs to be stable alongside ones knee joints to withstand correct posture of ones body and take us to places, with ease.

The pain in first winters, was pinching and all time high as expected and told by the doctors.

I used to sip my tears, and do lots of Physio and home stretches while also attending shoots and regular work.

The ONLY challenge then was to walk on both feet distributing equal weight so that I don’t land up to limp later in life, as the pink plaster lasted a month, which covered the left ankle right upto the left knee.

I used to CRY a lot in anticipation of being never be able to run again.

Took the medicine course, and all required precautions.

Started reading a lot about nutrition and various options without a surgery to be able to succeed again.

Time passed, I was able to do my recovery run, and ride both successfully however I still felt weakness, and got exhausted more than expected, I clearly wasn’t keeping myself enough hydrated, was yet lacking nutritional intake to the T and was working extensively for long hours with loads of intercity travels, hampering my 8 hour mandatory sleep cycle required to heal, because life never stopped.

I went out with friends with the pink plaster and slippers because those were my only options, and always grabbed that little extra attention which I don’t like at all!!!!!

So I kept weeping on the inside, because if any of you have been through an injury similar to mine or seen a family member who is physically very active and is an outdoor person, you’d relate how being indoor feels like!!

I went through a lot of ups and downs emotionally and cried to an extent that I developed hollows under my eyes, quite visible and my face used to pronounce tension, and would prompt people to ask is all well !? Because I started to become quieter, none of this made its way to the facebook so, apart from one happy picture with a pink plaster in a short skirt and slippers because It genuinely came out good, you’ll find nothing here, It was the time of demonetisation and I sharply remember the times with pain.

Pain became part of my life, and instead of resisting I accepted and started to bear it, enhancing my endurance and taking precautions every step, because I love dancing and jumping!!!

Within 2 days of my injury I had the launch party of my tv serial on zee tv, and wore a gown with six inches where in I could barely stand in reality!

Danced and jumped the night with all crew and celebrated.

Woke up to a swollen foot as expected, and made the recovery longer.

Fast forward to June 2020, I have been practising 3 years of stretches and patience a lot of patience, ones who know me dearly in person, know that I’m an excited molecule so patience and silence are 2 traits that took a longtime to subside in me!

But I’m finally here, because I accepted it, instead of running away from it.

I have run and rode in these years, and have recovered however the healing this Quarantine has got within me is immense.

The lessons are remarkable.

I am thankful to have each and every one of you who personally took time to celebrate me in these years with keeping up with my tantrums and irritation.

Many of you mustn’t have felt a thing or so, other than that I have vanished in person, because my social media posts kept pouring in..

Thank you for loving me unconditionally, support and a lot of care.

You all are part of my healing and it means a lot!!!! ❤️🙏

Godbless you, with nothing less than abundance and a lot of patience!

P.S : gist - if you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them, so go beyond and make changes beginning today.

You can change your entire life, by just concentrating on your breathing and controlling how you do it 🧘🏻‍♀️❤️

Ramzan teaches us Patience too, the ‘sabr’ one of the most important personality traits any one can posses.
