Manish Garg,

General Manager for Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park, believes that every day is a new day with new opportunities. “So I avoid carrying forward stress from the previous day. Instead, I focus on clarity, staying agile, and keeping the end goal and bigger picture in mind always. I enjoy my morning cuppa with Sudoko. Also, outdoor sports like running or badminton are the go-to exercise routine that keeps me charged up. I am a sports enthusiast and love to learn new games. In the lockdown, I learned to play table tennis,” he shares.

For Suchitra Pritesh, Vice President & Head Global Marketing, Cybage, de-stressing is all about ‘metime’. “I find solace in having some time reserved for workouts or simply enjoying some quiet time. I usually go for long runs, treks, and swimming. Holidays are also a perfect getaway to connect with the realms of the creator. So, when I am on holiday, I usually set out on foot to explore hidden gems and move beyond the mediocre tourist places,” she says.

Payal Lugani, Associate Vice President (FIT PMT), SOTC Travel, likes to do different things to de-stress. “However, the most important ones are taking a break from my phone, listen to soothing music, positive self-talk and meditation. One hobby I have learned during the lockdown is gardening. This also works as a great stress reliever for many reasons including getting you outdoors and appreciating the sunshine and fresh air, also creating beautiful surroundings. I also enjoy holidaying and my favourite destination in India is Ladakh.”
