Listen To Your Body | Nikita Sharma | TEDxGrandviewHeights

The idea-worth-spreading in Listen To Your Body is that sedentary lifestyles, neglect and quick fixes have caused many of us to stop listening to the signals that our body often sends us. This disconnection has led to chronic ailments, low self-worth, a host of mental health issues and an epidemic of addictions.
In Listen To Your Body, Nikita Sharma shares what happened when she neglected her body. She describes how she re-built her health, confidence and self-image with a little help from Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nikita shares her 3 life mottos - Lift, Love and Laugh - and explains how they reconnected her to her body.

Well done, Nikita. Fitness and health is far more than muscles. It is about self-confidence, self-respect and self-belief. Getting stronger as a young man enabled me to overcome poor health, run full marathons, become a paratrooper, compete in kickboxing and deal with bullying. These physical successes convinced me that I could become a better student. I went from a C average high school student to a university graduate.
Physical health is such an important part of mental health. I have seen loved ones die slow suicidal deaths as well as attend five funerals due to suicide. Believe in yourself. Trust yourself.

Absolutely love this, I was there in person during this talk. It inspired me to get in touch with my body and work out even without equipment and a GYM. Nikita is such an inspirational speaker, she is my hero, you go girl.

Nikita - brilliant, a simple prescription all of us can follow to live more vibrant and fulfilling lives - Lift, Laugh, Love! I can relate to the days when I couldn't do even one pullup. I was only one of two boys in my class. Ugh! Fast forward to the days of doing sets of 12-15 reps. It truly can be life-changing. Men, women, boys, and girls, young and old, all can benefit from your experience and simple, yet profound prescription As a doctor, I wish I had come up with it. Come to think of it, I will start prescribing it by directing others to watch your Talk.

Just went to listen to your talk again. I've begun to realize that I feel so much better about myself when I work on all aspects of me. The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. How I feel about my body affects all other parts of me. Keep up the talk, Nikita.

Nikita makes so many important points in this dynamic, important talk. I can totally relate to being disconnected from your body. Thank you for energizing us to listen to our bodies.
