Limited Phone Time

She keeps away from her phone for the first three hours of her day and no phone for the last hour before sleep. She said her nervous system had healed after she limited screen time.

Dedicating Time to Morning Mobility and Stretching

Raakhi begins every day with approximately one hour of mobility exercises and stretching. She follows this practice even when her schedule is packed.

Taking Frequent Movement Breaks During the Day

Instead of remaining seated for long periods, she incorporates short bouts of exercise throughout the day. These mini workouts include bodyweight squats, calf raises, stretching exercises, and mobility drills. She believes these brief movement sessions accumulate over time and contribute significantly to better physical health and reduced stiffness.

Ending the Day With Gentle Somatic Movements

Her nighttime routine includes slow somatic exercises and gentle movements performed before going to sleep. She credits these calming practices with helping her relax after a busy day, lowering stress levels, and improving the quality of her sleep.

Following Abdominal Massage and Lymphatic Drainage Practices

Raakhi also makes time for abdominal massage and lymphatic drainage techniques. Although she describes these rituals as repetitive and far from glamorous, she says they play a meaningful role in easing bloating, supporting recovery after daily activities, and promoting her overall sense of wellbeing.

Starting the Morning With Hydrating and Nutrient-Focused Rituals

Her day begins with a combination of lemon water, coconut oil, and a seed-cycling routine. According to Raakhi, this morning ritual helps maintain steady energy levels throughout the day, reduces unnecessary cravings, and supports more stable blood sugar balance, leaving her feeling energized and satisfied.

A Protein Rich Diet

She said she consumed a lot of protein powder, eggs, paneer, tofu and Greek yogurt.

Eat Whole Fruits

She said she ate two whole fruits daily. Not fruit juice, but whole fruits. Fruits have a high amount of antioxidants which helps keep your skin retain its youthful look and appear radiant.

She Also Drank A Lot Of Water

She had a lot of water - 3 litres per day. Being hydrated goes a long way in improving quality of skin.

Consistency Over Complexity

Raakhi's approach emphasizes that achieving healthy skin and feeling good does not necessarily require complicated beauty treatments or expensive products. Instead, she believes that consistently following simple wellness habits can support long-term health, improve daily functioning, and contribute to naturally radiant, youthful-looking skin.
