We all have days when we struggle to follow even our basic routine which includes having a good workout. This could be due to a variety of reasons. But instead of side-stepping these feelings, it is important to acknowledge them, said fitness enthusiast Ankita Konwar.

The 29-year-old said that the past week was quite “noisy” for her which meant that she had to focus even more on her mind. “The best cure for the body is a quiet mind. The past week was quite noisy for me and I had to shift my focus even more towards my mind. That meant sometimes just sitting quietly in a corner with my thoughts, taking the time to understand them without being judgmental. That also meant lesser time for physical workouts. But the best part about the body is that it follows the mind,” she penned a note on Instagram.
