💪 Finding Balance Through Movement 🌿

Lately, I’ve been really encouraged to stay active by mixing in different types of exercise throughout my day. I’ve started doing a combination of HIIT workouts and walking — it’s been such a great way to boost my energy and clear my mind.

Whenever I can fit it in, I start my mornings with a 30-minute HIIT session, followed by a morning walk, sometimes on my own, sometimes with my husband, and occasionally with friends. It’s such a refreshing way to begin the day.

During the afternoons, especially when I’m at work, I try to step away from my desk and go for a short walk, often aiming for around five kilometres. It’s a simple habit that helps me reset and stay focused for the rest of the day.

In the evenings, I usually head to the park with my kids. It’s our time to move, play, and enjoy the fresh air together. I also try to include some light stretching, breathing exercises, and mindfulness to round out the day and keep improving my fitness and wellbeing.

It’s not about perfection — it’s about consistency, balance, and making movement a natural part of everyday life.

Celebrating Nepali Mother’s Day in Australia

In Nepal, Mother’s Day — known as “Aama ko Mukh Herne Din” (आमाको मुख हेर्ने दिन) — is a beautiful occasion dedicated to honouring mothers and mother figures. It is celebrated by showing love and appreciation, often through gifts, special meals, and simply spending time together. In Nepalese tradition, this day is as important as birthdays or major festivals, with families coming together to express their gratitude for everything mothers do.

Even though I now live in Australia, I make it a priority to celebrate Nepali Mother’s Day with my children. It’s important to me that they grow up connected to their heritage, understanding the traditions and values I was raised with. Sharing these customs helps them not only learn about their roots but also appreciate the universal value of love, respect, and gratitude towards parents.

We celebrated yesterday with the traditional tika and sagun ritual, a meaningful part of Nepali culture that honours mothers with blessings and auspicious offerings. It was so lovely to see both my kids excited and eager to follow the tradition themselves. They carefully performed the puja, applying tika and offering sagun with genuine enthusiasm, which made the day even more special for me. Passing on these rituals not only connects them to our roots but also helps them understand the significance of respect, love, and family bonding in our culture — even while living here in Australia. It’s these moments that remind me how important it is to keep our heritage alive across generations, no matter where we are.

Happy Aama ko Mukh Herne Din to all the wonderful mums out there — near or far!
