30 Day Challenge - To a better You

To commensurate the Mental Health Day and Month we had the 30 day challenge - Amazing it was. Thanks a ton to Aarathy for all her efforts in putting it together.

Everyone need time to reflect. A day or a moment when we stop to think about where we are in life, if we are where we thought we would be on our grand plan of our journey in life. 

Wellness is not a destination, but a life long journey to improve your mental, physical and social wellbeing.
