"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all
within ourselves, in our way of thinking."
-Dr. Alka Chadha
The Medicine Called Joy…!
And that, is the core
philosophy of Dr Alka Chadha, a practicing
Doctor, Speaker, Yoga Guru, Author, and founder of the reputed clinic "Hope
& Care Centre" and now the new school called "Happiness
Academy"!
Phewwww! So many roles
rolled into a single being!!!
A vision she has, to make this world
the happiest place.
Alka has recognized over her long
career as a practicing doctor, that the happy people are the healthiest people.
The Senior Citizens club called “Shukriya
Zindagi” founded by Dr Alka Chadha brings a lot of happiness. These seniors are
a powerhouse of love and energy.
They sing and dance on stage and have
fun. Yes, Dr Alka finds a lot of happiness in music, singing and dancing.
“Shukriya Zindagi” is the core value
of her life. “Shukriya” means Gratitude, which is her mom, and the “Zindagi”
part is her dad, from whom she learnt all about LIFE.
Alka believes totally in the power of
Gratitude. “Being grateful in every moment of life, makes us so happy, as we
focus on what we have rather than what we don’t”. With these thoughts she is
launching her book called “Thank you,
Zindagi”
What are we mostly thinking?
If I get rich, I’ll be happy, if I
get that job, I’ll be happy, If, my partner can be more understanding, I will
be happy. These beliefs are the biggest barriers to Happiness.
Believing that success will lead to
happiness only leads to frustration. Success at best leads to a high, for a
short time. What we need to focus is not on the destination but the journey.
We can choose to be happy. We can
decide every morning to be happy. It’s a skill. We can create such moments and
also can make these moments memorable.
If you give, you receive. If you are
feeling low and if you go and help someone, your day turns around. We can
always, always give something even if its kindness.
Falling in love with songs, music,
dancing and singing, with books, with nature makes us so happy.
Slowing down makes us happier. Mostly
we are going through our entire lives just making a living. It seems at times like
we blow through life and we miss most of it.
My mom told us to stop, enjoy every
moment, smell the flowers on the way, savor our food; greet everyone on the
way, don’t walk past them, she would say “What’s the hurry, where are you
running?
Albert Einstein said “you can live your life as if everything is a
miracle or you can live life as if nothing is a miracle”.
When we are true to ourselves, when
we are living our purpose, when we are doing something meaningful, we are
happy.
Where are we looking for Happiness?
We create big homes, we buy the most
expensive cars, or we are wearing the most expensive watches or buying the
biggest solitaire but internally we have the same battles.
People who are present every moment
in their lives, who enjoy small moments, who let go, who have a lot of gratitude
inside, who have smaller requirements, are always happy. These are the people
who are content and have the best and healthy lives.
Many of us are worried about how its
going to be after the pandemic? Our diabetic patients, are worried about their
illness. They are always in distress thinking about their complications.
Or some of us are going through life
busy making money, constantly hustling, taking stress at every minuscule
problem, being intense and serious all the time, giving away our lives to making
a living, but forgetting to live actually. This is the sad part.
Why We Need That Shot of Happiness!
There are the times we need some shots
of Happiness. We have everything and yet something is MISSING.
Dr Alka Chadha is striving hard
to make the world so much happier every day showing you tools and techniques to
be happy.
If we are happy, we have better
relationships, at home and at work. We are passionate at our careers.
A British telecommunications firm run
by Oxford University's Saïd Business School found that happy workers were more
productive. Studies show that 7,500 Australians claim compensation for
work-related mental disorders each year.
The Doctor in Her!
One of the many dimensions of Dr Alka
is that of an ace doctor too!
An achiever in the field of Medicine,
she holds a vast ocean of experience, and she is the founder along with Dr
Manoj Chadha of popular integrated endocrine and lifestyle clinic Hope & Care Centre in Navi Mumbai.
Hope and Care Center has been created
with the sole purpose of helping the patient with prevention of lifestyle
diseases, and their management.
Dr Alka Chadha is passionate about preventing
Osteoporosis (and fragility fractures) which has plagued more than 200
million people globally! Bone loss is an integral part of the aging
process. We achieve our peak bone mass between the ages of 30-35 years.
Thereafter it is a downhill course. We are living longer (not necessarily
healthy!) and hence the chances of our bone mass going below the fracture
threshold is higher. Hence, it is important to be active during childhood, eat
healthy, avoid bone toxins (smoking and alcohol) and continue with weight
bearing exercise throughout the life-cycle.
According to recent statistics from the International
Osteoporosis Foundation, worldwide, 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 years and 1
in 5 men will experience osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime.
She strongly advocates being happy, eating
right and exercising the correct way, to lead a holistic and blissful life both
physical and mental health.
A Love Guru & Yoga Master Too…!
Extending her endeavors for wellness,
while making the world happy, she has come been helping couples too, who still
have that love and spark in them, or to even develop that spark. With this in
mind she is writing another book called "The Magical Lives of Happy
Couples".
According to a research paper
published by Frontiers, "Yoga practitioners reported good physical ability
and endurance. The yoga group also showed less anxiety, stress, fear, and
having better-coping strategies than the non-Yoga group. The Yoga group
displayed striking and superior ability to cope with stress and anxiety
associated with lockdown and COVID-19. In the Yoga group, participants
performing meditation reportedly had relatively better mental health. Yoga may
lead to risk reduction of COVID-19 by decreasing stress and improving immunity
if specific yoga protocols are implemented through a global public health
initiative."
“Yoga is a way of Life” she believes.
She teaches yoga with an emphasis on
"Antaranga" Yoga for the past 20 years! Meditation and
Pranayam can be done by one and all.
Also being the facilitator for the
Teacher's training course for Yoga conducted by the esteemed Yoga Vidya
Niketan, she is well-versed in her knowledge, for she has seen both
sides of the spectrum; the student and the teacher.
Joy, health, fitness and yoga are
possibly the greatest gifts you can give to yourself, and to others. Dr Alka Chadha can help you with them!
She delivers the best to her clients and customers with all selflessness and
joy.
