🫀 Sit. Breathe. Heal — Before Your Heartbeat Becomes a Headline

I’m writing this not as a digital marketer, not even as a blogger —
but as someone who’s watching too many people leave too soon.

Young professionals. Gym-goers. Relatives. Friends of friends.
One moment they’re smiling on Instagram.
The next moment — we’re sharing their condolence post.

And the cause? Heart attacks. Silent. Sudden. Scary.

🧬 Post-COVID, Post-Vaccine… Something Has Changed

I took Covaxin.
Most people around me took Covishield.
I’ve heard all kinds of opinions — side effects, blood clot links, post-vaccine fatigue…

But beyond technicalities, here’s what I personally feel:

Something in our internal rhythm has shifted.
Our stress is chronic.
Our breath is shallow.
Our body is alert 24/7 — but never truly relaxed.

And the heart?
It’s quietly suffering under this constant load.

🤯 The Real Pandemic Might Be... Unprocessed Stress

We underestimate what a few months of fear, isolation, and vaccine-driven immunity changes did to us.

  • Skipped meals

  • Late nights

  • Overthinking

  • Fast scrolling

  • Emotional bottling

  • Breath-holding (yes, literally)

And all of it… lands directly on the heart.

🧘 Yoga Is Not a Trend. It’s the Medicine We Forgot.

I’m not anti-modern medicine. I’m grateful for science.
But I’m also wondering:

Why does no pharma ad ever say — “Now take a break and go sit under a tree”?

Why don’t we teach Anulom-Vilom in hospitals?

Why isn’t Pranayama a required corporate break?

Here’s My Simple Truth:

I don’t want to wait for chest pain to remind me I’m alive.

So I’ve started choosing:

  • Slower mornings

  • Deeper breathing

  • Less chaos. More quiet

  • Sitting still, without guilt

Because maybe — this is the real prevention.

💬 Final Words

If your body feels “off” but reports are “normal”…

Listen to your breath.
It has the answers.

Let’s stop chasing more — and start cherishing what’s already within.

Sit. Breathe. Heal — before your heartbeat becomes a headline.

🪷 Want to Begin? Start Here:

  • 5 minutes of Anulom-Vilom every morning

  • Tulsi + ginger tea before screen time

  • 15-minute silent walk without your phone

  • End your day with gratitude, not notifications

With love & awareness,
