Best of 2019 | Cheers to the Year that Was - Editor's Note
As we get ready to welcome a brand new year, it's that time when we look back and reflect at those 365 days of the year gone by. Days when we discovered ourselves. Our strengths and weaknesses. Days when we learnt to let go, and those when we loved ourselves even more. Every year brings in a plethora of things - surprises, highs, achievements, lows, discoveries, excitement, nervousness and more. 2019 was no different! Yet, it was different in more ways than one for every individual, including me.
In 2019, personally, I experienced a multitude of emotions and discovered many sides to my personality. Learned a lot, and also learned to let go of certain flaws. Made new friends, and further learned to prioritise those who matter. Broke off ties with people possessing negative energy. Understood why quality time with loved ones is never enough, and prioritised their needs to the fullest. Further, bettered myself at multi-tasking and managing the work-life balance. Learned to love myself for all that I am. Discovered 'patience' in an all new light.
Encouraged positive thoughts and decided to make it an everyday habit, because the world can definitely do with more positivity. Understood that there might be days when you feel empty and hit a low. When nothing seems to work in the right direction. On those days, I realised the importance of taking time out for self care and indulging in things that I loved. Pushed myself to ensure I am always there to make my parents smile and feel happy from within. Continued my quest to take fitness more and more seriously, especially by learning new techniques and variations. Danced my heart out at some occasions, and promised myself to do more of it in the year to come.

Danced my heart out at some occasions, and promised myself to do more of it in the year to come.
In 2019, I tried my hand at new things, and realised why learning makes me truly happy from within. I challenged myself against the fear of Math and didn't stop till I emerged victorious. Experienced days when I stumbled, faced hurdles and even cried myself to sleep; only to wake up with the clear thought of turning the tide on a new day. I took time out to travel with my loved ones. Discovered new places that this beautiful world has to offer. Interacted with people, including those I've always been in awe of, and took back perils of wisdom that stayed with me. Got various opportunities to engage with people across different age groups, encouraging them to follow their dreams and give themselves a chance to become familiar with all that the digital world has to offer.
Lived new characters on-screen and learned something new from each role. Understood why not just achievements, but also being thankful for every little joyous moment on a rather normal day matters too. Why having gratitude for all that I have been bestowed upon is extremely important. Moreover, the year taught me how to love, it's true meaning, and gave me the chance to experience the true beauty of 'romance' like never before, and that too, beyond the filters of what Bollywood has taught us all these years (yeah well, this was a first for me)!
As the year comes to a close, I thank god for everything! For the people in my life, the opportunities, projects, achievements, honours, interactions, the ever growing digital family and for every moment that made me smile. I am also thankful for the moments where I experienced a range of emotions - be it anger, sadness or fear; because they taught me to become stronger than ever. I truly believe - the universe conspires when you really wish for something! And so in 2020, which I strongly feel would be a landmark year, I pray we all are blessed with happiness, luck and lots of love around us. May we continue to work hard towards our goals, and witness dreams turning into a reality.
In the brand new year, I promise to learn, grow, master, absorb and discover more. To travel a lot more, love a lot more, spread positivity even more, and make everyday special for those who matter. And yes, it's gonna be a year full of creating tons of new content and experimenting with exciting, fresh things on the website, because the new year is all about new goals. It's time to dream on!
Thank you for making me a better person, 2019! You will always be special.
And, cheers to what I truly believe shall be a beautiful, exciting and enriching year.
Here's looking at you, 2020!!

Ten ways to Be Happy and Encourage Positivity | Wellness
There are days when you lose all hope and just don't want to give anything a chance. In your mind, you know that a little bit of effort may just do the trick, but instead, you prefer to hang your boots and distance yourself from all kinds of conversations. Then, there are times when you are so confused and puzzled, that all you need is that one ray of hope, that can change your perspective towards life and things around you for good. You may not always find a source of sunshine around you and that is when you need to build a strong and positive state of mind. It's important, because positivity not only reflect on your mental state, but also on your face, health and overall well being. Read on to know more about the ten simple things that you need to do and tell yourself everyday.
1. Don't stop dreaming! Work hard, so much that you are capable enough to strike off one item after another from your bucket list, before you accomplish your final goal. Never give up!
2. Get up, get out of your bed and welcome the sunshine with open arms. Whip up a healthy breakfast, mixed with a few good food items that you like. Listen to your favourite song or enjoy a light conversation with your bestie on the phone (or your family, if you are not alone), because your early morning mood can affect how you feel during the rest of the day.
3. Look out of the window and appreciate the beautiful works of Mother Nature. Hear the birds chirping, look at the lush green trees and the beautiful blue sky. They are all there for you, so remember, you are not alone.
4. Do a quick 5 minute meditation technique to get rid of all your anxieties and troublesome worries. Take a deep breath, stretch your body and in eight counts, slowly relax your body, look down and exhale.
5. Bring out your favourite outfit, pair it up with the perfect accessories and choose the right make-up products. Instead of stressing over it and making it a formal drill, dressing up should keep you excited about which outfit you can show off the next day. A well put together outfit always ensures compliments, which can definitely make your day.
6. Don't forget to wear your most important accessory - A smile! You may not realise its worth, till you notice how your smile can make someone else's day. Try it, and you won't be disappointed. And don't forget, its the most precious accessory, that can make even the most boring days look better.
7. Don't just wait for someone to give you a hug or say how pretty you are looking today. Walk towards the mirror, take a look and hug yourself. "You are special and there is no one like you" - repeat this line and walk ahead confidently. Learn to love yourself too.
8. Do not assume that things will turn out to be disastrous and nothing will work your way. Starting your day on a negative note is the worst thing to do. Always believe in yourself and say - Yes! I will have a great day.
9. A simple To-Do list can really organise things in your life for good. Don't try to pack your list with multiple tasks, which you may not even end up completing (which will make you feel all the more miserable). Jot down a few important tasks & work out your schedule in a way that the tasks can be easily achieved.
10. A tiny treat for your accomplishments, no matter how big or small, is always welcome. Go, buy a small bar of chocolate, pick up a bunch of fresh flowers for your vase or just go watch a film. Remember, you deserve it!
Go ahead, believe in yourself and fill your life with lots of happiness.
Much love,
The Dancebee
