The 3-Legged Stool Concept for a Healthy Life



The 3-Legged Stool Concept for a Healthy Life



My approach on balancing the life with Running.. The 3 legs of a stool approach… How the stress of Professional & Personal Life, gets balanced out by bringing the third healthy & something-only-for-me angle…

Also my long held belief that it need not be just running or a physically draining sport to keep the stool balanced – but can also be an activity like singing, dancing or guitar…

I am absolutely against the views that forces people to go on diets or stay away from the food they love – as it’s not sustainable over a long period of time….
An apple a day keeps the Doctor away – A Samosa-Pav sometimes also helps keep your happiness at peak :)

The More I Read, The More I Realize How Unread I am..

9 Authors – 11 Books – 12 world’s best sportsperson & 11 key takeaways parallel to our work... My 2022 in books was focused on biographies… & many of them were Sports Bios. While reading them and recently while going through my notes I realized the clear parallels we can pick up from them in our work streams. I have not mentioned what work episodes/learnings they evoked for me; because every one will relate to a different incident, a different manager or colleague when reading about what these ultra-endurance athletes felt about in their own lives. Why is this post here? Needless to mention most of the athletes I read about our Elite UltraRunners :)
