With the holiday season over and excesses done - it is time to get into some serious business of tough love as they call it. Getting into a health and fitness regime which suits you requires a little bit of discipline and it’s well worth the effort. And this doesn’t only mean working out and physical activity, but a more comprehensive overhaul on eating healthy and drinking enough of water to flush out toxins and be hydrated enough. And this can be adopted well by taking up one goal at a time. For example, keeping a check on how much water you are drinking per day or sticking to your fitness regime 2 times a week to begin with and then gradually scaling it up to 4 or 5 days a week. Holding a plank for 20 seconds to begin with and gradually being able to pull 1 minute! Visit shop.intermiles.com to buy sports or fitness gear, enjoy great deals and earn InterMiles. We have over 20+ partners with over 20 million products to choose from across categories

An old proverb says - The art is not in making money, but in keeping it. Being in control of your finances is a great stress reliever and helps you tide over unexpected expenses and other sudden requirements. Stick to your financial goals and plans to achieve them. Saving is a great habit whatever the season and it’s a good habit to spend only after you have saved enough to meet your financial goals. If you need help on planning your finances and investments, take help from a trusted Financial planner. He/She will help you make a comprehensive plan basis your risk appetite, considering your life stage and needs. But a thumb rule to ensure you have a good start is to seek for maximising your savings. And the rule here is to start small. Watch your impulse buys and before you hit ‘Buy’ - ask yourself if you really need that purchase in your shopping cart? The trick is to not give up on buys but consider smart ways to substitute it with something or search for deals. As a InterMiles member we offer you a plethora of options to save on your holiday planning including flying you to any destination in the world by redeeming your InterMiles for Select Flights across airline partners for any flight and you can use a combination of Cash+InterMiles too!

Better rest and sleeping habits will help vitalise you and boost your energy and immunity. The benefits are humongous especially in today’s times, with our frayed nerves and hectic lifestyles. Some of the benefits of a good sleep include hormonal balance, better alertness, weight loss and overall greater well-being. Sleep is also a time during which the body is hard at work repairing damage caused by stress, ultraviolet rays, and other harmful exposure. Make sure that you have atleast 7-8 hours of sleep every day and if that means re-jigging some part of your schedule, then prioritise adequate sleep as a good habit for your lifetime.

Spending quality time with family and friends is one of the best things you can gift yourself. Making the time to go on that picnic you have been promising your kids, taking the elders out for dinner, meeting up with old friends after a while and generally creating so many beautiful and cherished memories along the way. Some easy ways to do this is by cutting off time procrastinators like reducing screen time – be it Mobile or TV or creating a family time calendar and committing to it. You could make small plans to begin with – like having dinner together, doing craft or colouring, reading bedtime stories or praying together. Soon you would also be making plans to take your loved ones for a fun family vacation.

Sure things may seem downcast at times, but honestly, while we may dwell on things not going as per our desired expectations, we fail to notice what has already been added to us and worked out favourably for us. If we simply ‘switch’ to dwelling on this positivity, a lot of things work out in the long term. More so, we become happier, positive people who send good vibes to one and all, cut stress for ourselves, sleep well with better overall wellbeing and spread the sunny optimism. And that itself is a great win! The attitude of gratitude is an enriching one which also attracts the right people and experiences our way. How about sending some love to the ones we are grateful for? You could send a personalised, handwritten note with a gift they would treasure and add a sparkle to their day.
