From a flourishing career to a buzzing social life with plenty of family time in between, our fabulous Style Council members manage to juggle it all. Who better than these accomplished ladies for us to take some life inspiration from for the coming year? You may want to follow their life resolutions for that elusive balance in life that we are all constantly seeking…
1. Embrace positivity
I tend to wallow sometimes, based on other people’s opinions – I’m going to stop doing that.
2. Give back more
My charity commitments came down when I started POPxo – need to refocus my time slightly.
– Priyanka Gill, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, POPxo
3. Start reading again (fiction & non-fiction)
When you’re running a digital content platform, you tend to shy away from doing any more reading during your downtime, and find it impossible to switch off from all devices.
4. Re-discover your city
I’m moving back to Delhi after 8 years, which is exciting. And much has changed in the city I grew up in. I’m looking forward to finding new restaurants, new markets, new activities and new friends!
– Namrata Bostrom, Co-Founder & CEO, POPxo
5. Stay grounded
Make time for meditation every morning and reflection/ gratitude every evening.
6. Spread the love
Consciously do at least one random act of kindness every day.
7. Find inner peace
Practice “accepting” instead of “expecting” and judge less, accepting people for who they are.
– Annabel Treon, Strategy Consultant and Freelance Writer
8. Continue to follow your dreams no matter how hard it gets
Especially when it seems like the universe is not helping you!
9. Don’t depend on anyone else to make your work and happiness happen
You are the master of your fate.
10. Earn young and enjoy it before you get too old
That would be a pretty perfect life!
– Anushka Menon, Beauty & Fashion Photographer
11. Spend more time outdoors with family and friends
Rather than spending time surfing social networking sites.

Home time is family time.

Before expecting love from others.

Spend time alone to connect with yourself.

Avoid the unhappy and negative types.

Stop wasting precious time in limbo!

It only gets harder as everyone gets older and tied up with their careers and families.

Take actions to nourish yourself. You deserve it.

Sometimes, you’ve got to put “me” before “you”.

It’s important to master the art of keeping yourself healthily and happily fed!
