“For me, it starts with what I eat and drink. My food is lighter and simpler and involves a lot of fresh fruits, curd, salads, basically anything that doesn’t require standing too long near a gas stove. I’m South Indian, and fortunately, our traditional cuisine has a lot of cold curries and dishes,” she added.
A morning person that she is, she tries to finish her workouts before the sun turns aggressive. She added, “In the afternoons, I work indoors, preparing my courses, social media content, and online client sessions. Being a psychic and healer, I try to stop work before sundown, and summer is advantageous as it gives me longer working hours.”
She also believes that lifestyle plays a huge role. She said, “Wearing lighter fabrics, eating light, hydrating more, reducing caffeine, and sleeping comfortably—these small changes make a big difference. It’s less about fighting the heat and more about adjusting to it.”
She agrees that summers feel harsher than they used to and says, “The heat feels fierier and humidity more draining. What used to be hot is now exhausting. You step out for 10 minutes and come back feeling you need blood transfusion. Something has clearly shifted. And then you hear things like unexpected snowfall in places like Himachal Pradesh or Jammu and Kashmir, and it makes you wonder. Seasons don’t behave the way they used to. It’s unsettling, even if we don’t always talk about it seriously.”
“Which brings us to the bigger picture—global warming. It’s an issue we need to start taking seriously by making better choices, each one of us at an individual level. Using less plastic, being mindful of electricity usage, reducing waste, planting trees, and even something as simple as not wasting water. Small choices matter more than we think. Millions of people making slightly better choices—that’s where change begins!” Sharmila ended.
