I have been a shy kid all my life. Ever since I was a child, I always preferred to keep things to myself and avoid social contact as much as possible. It was easier to do so back then when I could just be with myself and enjoy not having many people around. But for the last decade, I have been working at an MNC in Delhi and have been struggling with the pressure of social interactions.
The deadlines for completing projects and submitting due tasks have made things worse for me as I feel really anxious almost all the time now. I am always thinking about what I have to do next, what I might have missed. In the last couple of years, the feeling of being anxious has often escalated to panic attacks at work and sometimes at home as well. But the stress keeps on piling up and pushing me down.
I consulted a physician to sort medical help for my situation and see if it can bring any peace and calm to my life. But medications could only do so much. I slept longer after medicating but did not feel relaxed or stress-free when I woke up. Then I started researching about what I can do to make my situation better.
Across many scientific journals, it has been proposed that staying close to nature has often helped people stay calm and relaxed. I myself am a nature lover. But the only whiff of nature I can manage to get in my hectic schedule was the little kitchen garden that I had nurtured as a hobby.
I felt that this could be the solution that I was looking for.
After talking to a couple of friends and family members, I made up my mind that this was exactly what I wanted to have in my life. I started researching options that were available in a price bracket that was not too steep and I came across flats in Solan (Chester hills). Based in the beautiful Solan hills, Chester Hills was the perfect destination for my staycations and even workations some of the times. I consulted one of their sales executives and was presented with payment options that included easy EMIs for easy payments. I booked my unit immediately and received the possession for the same before the committed time.
Ever since I have started coming here, my stress levels have been seriously brought down. Even when I am not able to go outside in the greens due to busy schedule, just having the luxury of seeing green landscapes outside my window and whiffs of fresh air coming in from the entrances have immensely helped me calm my anxieties down. And thus live a happier and calmer life. That’s my Chester Hills story. What’s yours?
