Inspired by Kangana Ranaut, here are five ways you can unwind and indulge in some self care and pampering to rejuvenate your mind.
For Kangana Ranaut, spending time with herself is her idea of chilling and unwinding.
Kangana Ranaut is currently juggling between Bollywood and the Parliament. When she is not busy attending sessions as a Member of Parliament, she is seen working on her movie commitments. In a recent interview, the actor revealed how she likes to unwind after a busy day.
In a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Kangana Ranaut talked about how she likes to unwind away from movies and politics. She mentioned how she likes to practice yoga to calm her body and mind and also how she loves to engross herself in a good book.
Kangana said, “I have two extremes, either I work a lot or I don’t work at all. Toh phir mujhe kisi ko milna bhi aisa lagta hai jaise bohut bada kaam hai. To main kahin jaati nahi hoon, kisi ko milti nahi hoon (Even if I have to meet someone, it seems like a task to me; so I don’t go out or meet people). I am in my room, and I love my house. Ghar pe pade rehna, kuch padhna, I love that. Yoga kar liya, kuch gana sunn liya, acha kuch paka ke kha liya, ye sab mera chill karne ka tareeka hai (I love staying at home, reading, doing yoga, listening to music, cooking and eating; that is how I like to chill).”
She continued, “Lekin koi aur log mere paas aye ghar pe, aur baat karna, ye sab… mujhe phir se lagta hai ki ab inko entertain karo because sara hafta mera nikla hai itne logo ko entertain or engage karke… mere liye sabse bada unwind karna hai – kisi se baat nahi karna, kisi ki shakal nahi dekhna, kisi ki awaz nahi sun na aur bilkul mujhe insaan toh chahiye hi nahi apne aas paas (If someone comes home when I want to relax, I do not want to entertain them and engage with them after meeting so many people all week. The biggest way in which I unwind is by not meeting anyone, not seeing anyone’s face or listening to anyone’s voice. I do not want a human being around me).”
Unwinding is all about doing things that you enjoy. Inspired by the actor, here are five easy ways you can unwind and recharge your mind and body without adding to your screen time.
- 1. Read a book: Escape into a new world with a good novel, or if you’re not into stories, try reading a magazine or poetry collection.
- 2. Connect with nature: Whether it’s a stroll in the park or a nature trail, being outside and getting some fresh air can work wonders for your mind.
- 3. Journal: Reflecting on your thoughts, writing creatively, or even making lists can help clear your head and relax.
- 4. Practice mindfulness or meditate: Taking a few minutes to meditate, practice deep breathing, or do some light yoga can centre your mind and calm your body.
- 5. Pursue a creative hobby: Try drawing, knitting, cooking, or any hands-on activity that lets you get into a flow and forget about your day.
