The joy of a new culture, meeting different kinds of people, and soaking in the beauty of nature keep the fire alive in this young girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Swati&#8217;s life is about more than travelling. She is also into fitness and doesn&#8217;t miss any workouts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Fitness is about feeling healthy, no matter what happens around me. It is not just physical health but mental too.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swati keeps fit through regular workouts and attends dance sessions to stay motivated and energised. Her philosophy? Movement is a medicine that helps her achieve physical and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from being a fitness enthusiast, Swati is an outdoorsy person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/yourdost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Swati-Insiderimages.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24907 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/250;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I have done two high-altitude Himalayan treks. I love hiking, trekking, camping, and being outdoors. There&#8217;s something so magical about those trips and meeting people from walks of life one doesn&#8217;t even imagine existed.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her love for nature and exploration works simultaneously with her need to push limits that engage the body and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swati has immense love towards her family, whom she calls her support system. As the second eldest in the lot, she lovingly refers to her family as &#8220;chaos filled with love.\u201d Despite her tight schedule, she keeps in close contact with her parents and sisters through daily video calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;I need that &#8216;ghar wali feeling&#8217; now and then as I need that sense of home and belonging.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Her childhood marked her personality development as a goal-oriented young girl who loved co-curricular activities and maintaining academic excellence. Growing up in a small town, Swati hardly received as much exposure as kids in cities usually do, but she made good use of whatever opportunities came her way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That spark lives on even today; she is always keen to try something new. She uses that creativity by manifesting it in her content creation on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s my way of journaling.

I see those moments, and they remind me that I&#8217;m doing great and all this growth and evolution is happening.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram is her diary, where she records the milestones she has achieved and the dreams she has chased. It&#8217;s where she unwinds, reflects, and enjoys small victories, the one activity that balances her otherwise packed life of work, fitness, and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Juggling multiple interests is a little taxing, and Swati says she sometimes feels overwhelmed. This is where Capillary&#8217;s association with YourDOST, their official mental health partner, has been a godsend for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;Now and then, I find something from YourDOST in my inbox and try to read it.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>These articles covered topics ranging from meditation to ways of maintaining work-life balance, and they have helped Swati immensely in her daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I remember reading about meditation somewhere among the articles. I meditate a few days weekly, but that article made me more consistent.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though she doesn&#8217;t always get to apply everything she reads, the articles remind her to take a baby step towards improvement. For her, &#8220;improvement&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean making drastic changes overnight; it&#8217;s progress, no matter how small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Swati&#8217;s words, <em>&#8220;Feeling better is a journey and not a destination.&#8221;<\/em> She rates her emotional well-being a solid 4 on a scale of 5 and believes in the magic of small steps toward a healthier and happier self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The YourDOST community stands proud to be a part of Swati&#8217;s journey and wishes her all the best!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color: #677373;\"><strong>Swati&#8217;s Warrior Tips:<\/strong><br \/><strong>1.\u201cThere&#8217;s a general lack of awareness surrounding mental health and that should be given to everyone.\u201d<\/strong><br \/><strong>2.\u201cGo out in the social set-up, expose yourself to others and build good bonds.\u201d<\/strong><br \/><strong>3.\u201cReach out to professional help even if it means ranting.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swati Jain is a 26-year-old vibrant soul who lives life in its full measure.
