March 8 is observed as International Women's Day to celebrate every woman across the globe, acknowledge their contributions and achievements in every sector, raise awareness about women's equality, and more. The theme for IWD 2023 is "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality," which primarily comprehends the requirement for more Innovation and technological change, and educational facilities in the digital age for accomplishing gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls throughout the world. This campaign is all set to examine the impact of the digital gender gap on broadening economic and social inequalities and understand the importance of safeguarding the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and providing online solutions to gender-based violence.
'With Good Health, One Can Bear Greater Responsibilities'- the saying is quite true! The Gen-X today is multi-faceted; from being the caretaker of the entire family to achieving her zenith professionally, she strives hard throughout the day to not only fulfil her family responsibilities but also accomplish her aspirations. But unfortunately, most women forget to tend to their health while wearing many hats, making immense sacrifices, and juggling many roles and responsibilities. Just like a broken watch can never show the correct timing; similarly, a physically and emotionally disturbed woman can never take care of others' well-being. Hence, every year, Women's Day is a gentle reminder that prioritizing your health is a must to keep everyone in the family happy and healthy eventually.

Are You Keeping Your Mental Health As A Priority?
As a woman, one by one, you have to add many feathers to your cap – a daughter, sister, wife, or mother- and you are expected to cater to the entire family's demands unconditionally. No wonder women are known to have a 50% increased risk for depression and anxiety. This additional unexplained stress can eventually cause hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, insomnia, weight gain issues, skin ageing, etc. But alas, without proper knowledge, in most cases, women tend to remain mum about their mental health issues and burden themselves with more and more work creating a vicious cycle of stress and anxiety. That is why it is essential to take a break now and then and get some 'ME' time.
Engage in relaxing activities that unwind you, such as a simple coffee or tea break in the morning, reading your favourite book, gardening, baking, playing a musical instrument, listening to peaceful music, etc. Additionally, incorporating some breathing exercises alongside yoga into your usual routine will help eliminate stress from your lives and provide calmness.

Are You Keeping Up With Your Annual Health Check-up?
It is the habit of most women to constantly stock up on groceries or keep aside a little something extra to use in times of need. So why not have the same notion for your health and be one step ahead of diseases by attending regular health examinations? Routine health check-ups after 30's may seem like a chore, but they are an immediate priority if you want to add more years to your life.
The primary purpose of a health check-up is to detect hidden diseases in our bodies, prevent them from developing or worsening, and diminish their impact on our health. Go for regular blood pressure, cholesterol check-ups, dental examinations, eye check-ups, complete body analyses, hormonal analysis, breast examinations, Pap smear tests, etc., to maintain overall health and well-being.

Are You Pampering Yourself?
Who doesn't like to have baby-soft skin, exude a stellar radiance, and reverse the age clock by a few years? The answer is, well, most of us! But do we pay enough attention to our skin? In the everyday rush, we often fail to realize that with time, just like everything changes, we women also need to change or instead upgrade our skincare necessities. The cream or serum you used to apply once in your late 20s may not work or produce the same effect now when you are in your 30's or 40's. All the pent-up stress, environmental pollutants, and wrong usage of products gradually crop up in the form of hair loss, dry skin, marks, blemishes, wrinkles and whatnot.
So, however busy your schedule may be, give that much-needed TLC to your skin and hair. Take a break from your routine work this Women's Day and go for a relaxing Spa, a Mani-Pedi, or just a simple facial. But if you are still short on time, why not get the respite of a Spa right at home?
