The Wellness Killers Of Corporate India

Corporate India can be called the jewel in the crown of shinning India. In the last 15yrs, Indian employees no longer harbor dreams of making it big, they are making it Big!!!

Like all good things, there are some negatives. The biggest of which is the physical, emotional, social and sexual health problems corporate employees battle.

As a Wellness Expert, at Mind Mantra Wellness Concepts, I get to interact with hundreds of corporates every year. Either through my online, workshops or even personal counseling sessions, the pattern of health issues that are destroying the wellness of corporate employees can be quantified as following:

1. Eyes - A corporate employee uses his/her eyes more than any other organ. radiation from laptops, desktops, tv screens, mobile phones are bombarding the eyes for more than 8hrs daily. This results in decreased eye-sight, headaches, lack of concentration, irritations, redness of eyes and eye infections.

2. Weight Trap - Your brain-mind complex requires upto 30-40% of body energy requirement. The brain is the most utilized organ by a corporate employee. This makes a continuous source of energy essential for effective working. Unfortunately lack of healthy food option, high energy foods are easily equated with high calorie and high fat foods.

3. Blood Circulation problems- Lack of exercise, high fat foods (whereby fat goes and deposits itself in the small crucial blood carrying arteries), high stress, all pose as road blocks for effective blood circulation. Lack of proper circulation results in skin problems, headaches, joint pains and sexual disorders.

4. The Skeleton crumbles - The calcium skeleton is the core of the human body. like the beams of a building, once it is bent, it cannot be brought back to normalcy.
Lack of proper sitting posture, lack of exercise, increased obesity, are all putting extreme pressures on the skeleton.
The rise in number of neck and lower back pains have made orthopedics the most in-demand surgeons in India.

5. Anxiety, Stress and Depression - A recent survery by leading english newspaper showed that coporate sector employees showed the lowest "happiness index" on over-all factors.
While thousands of HR's, VP's and CEO's secretly take treatment for the high stress, anxiety and depression they suffer.. they never let the same be done "professionally" for their workforce.
upto 30% of indian corporate sector is suffering from clinical levels of anxiety, depression and stress which gives rise to higher addiction, dangerous sexual adventures, high spending behavior, ideas of cheating the employer and involvement in anti-social behavior.

two or more of these factors combine to create premature aging, extreme fatigue levels, joint pains, skin problems, sexual disorders, which lead to decreased happiness and poor "future" prognosis of health.

Being a corporate employee has a sense of empowerment, but with "great power comes great responsibility"
unfortunately these so called "mature" people forget to concentrate on the responsibility towards their body-mind.

Be mature, Be responsible.. BE HEALTHY...

The Kitty Party Extravaganza

Today I met a really amazing couple. Affluent, well educated and who fight like two blood thirsty boxers. They have very different personalities, which could never find a middle path of happiness. Today their major issue of discussion was “The Kitty Party”.

The wife had recently been introduced into “the kitty party circuit”, an exercise the husband wasn’t too happy with. Naturally interacting with a lot of “like-minded” ladies had left an impression on her, bringing about changes in her behaviour. This was a major rebellion against the “controlling” nature of this gentleman, leading to great fights.

This was an amazing couple to interact with because I got to analyse the opposing view- points that the society harbour regarding a very important “female dominated” social exercise called The Kitty Party.

The Husbands View Point or The Orthodox View Point –

1. A group of ladies meet up to gossip.

2. Wastage of time and money.

3. It gives rise to comparison and increased materialistic desires.

4. Women discuss sex openly, making it “unholy”

5. It gives rise to unnecessary rumours that can eventually emotionally hurt someone.

The Wife’s View Point or The neo-thinker View Point-

1. “Like-minded” women, who have time and money, get to spend a fun filled afternoon. This

is a refreshing break from their mundane daily self.

2. Why should a woman depend on her husband to go out and have fun. When a group of them can do it together. It’s a symbol of their independence.

3. Interaction with women from the same social class, helps to broaden the horizon about what new trends are going on in life.

4. Discussing about sex is nothing wrong. Women also have desires.

5. Rumours and Gossiping is an essential. Women do it inside the house, so what’s wrong in doing it outside.

So when asked to give a verdict on who is right or wrong, I told them how the science of human psychology views a Kitty Party:

1. It’s a great way of increasing social interaction. As most women in a kitty party are “like-minded” and share common socio-economical backgrounds.

2. It’s shouldn’t be evaluated as a wastage of time and money, but an investment in personal development.

3. Every participant has to be aware that every single lady in that Party, will be blowing her own trumpet. 95% of the information shared is either hyped or a made-up lie.

Why is this important psychologically? Most Kitty parties involve 30-plus ladies. This group of society are young, dynamic and full of energy. Unfortunately due to the social pressures they are not allowed to express their personality to the fullest at home or workplace. A Kitty Party provides them with an excellent ego-satisfaction platform, where the need for attention, the need for interaction and the need of expression are fulfilled. This is attained by materialistic, social and physical preening.

4. Sex is a basic need. It’s also a topic of discussion that immediately releases maximum amount of “happy-chemicals” in the brain, in both men and women. Kitty Parties provide great setups to vent out “sexual anxieties”. It’s a perfect setup to discuss sex-life, sexual fantasies and sexual adventures without being judged or without facing social repercussions. If all that sexual anxiety is left to grow inside an individual, she would naturally become sad and depressed.

5. Participants of a Kitty party have to be careful. It’s obviously not a “intellectual meet” where a group of ladies will be discussing “intellectual books” over tea. It’s a party.
While one is having fun and laughing, it’s very easy to trigger negative emotions like animosity, jealousy and anger within others. This can lead to some participants using the “umbrella cover of fun and social gathering” to humiliate, spread rumours, expose family secrets and instigate others into dangerous experimentation with drugs/sex.

The Power of Being an Introvert

What is common between Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar,. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and a few hundred people that have either walked into my clinic or I have met them at workshops over the last few years?

They all have been Introverts at some point in their life.

If you know anyone who is an Introvert, than always keep the following 7 points in your mind:

1. Introvert - its not a disorder or mental weakness. See Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Mukesh Ambani.. They are among the most powerful men in the world.

2. Shyness - They are not always shy. They have a problem starting or maintaining a conversation. Knowing their own short coming they prefer to keep quiet. They need to learn how to overcome this short-coming.

3. They don't talk - They love to talk. But for them to talk, they need a topic which they are comfortable with, they need a person who encourages and appreciates their views on that topic.

4. Friendships Skills - Introverts are probably the best and most loyal friends an individual could have. Since they interact and open up to only a few people, they love those people many times more than others would.

5. Social skills - If they have a problem starting or maintaining a conversation, they might just focus on speaking the relevant issues. Creating a perception of "high headiness" or "high attitude" around them.

6. They stay alone - Because people don't understand them, they develop ways of day-dreaming and staying happy within their own thoughts.

7. Don't have Fun - Their brain is sensitive to noises and high adrenaline rushes. This doesn't mean they cann't have fun. Their definition of fun is different. But if you are ready to try their way of fun, you can have the time of your life!!!

As a neuro-behavioral consultant I am thankful to every introvert who I have counseled, as he/she has thought me that if you give time to listen and understand them, don't judge them and don't discriminate them, you can help them uncover a very powerful personality.
Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates did it... so can anyone else!!
