Empowering Balance: Dr. Neha Sangwan’s ‘Powered by Me’ Unveils the Path to Sustainable Well-Being
Dr. Neha Sangwan’s book, “Powered by Me,” offers readers a profound exploration of the delicate balance between our inner selves and the demands of the outer world. In today’s society, there’s a constant pressure to excel, gain recognition, and achieve the highest levels of success, often leading to an extreme pursuit of these goals. Dr. Sangwan emphasizes that the book is a guide to grounding ourselves in this complex experience, regardless of where we fall on the spectrum from burnout to fully charged.
At the heart of “Powered by Me” is the concept of navigating paradoxes, a skill essential in the modern world. Dr. Sangwan encourages readers to understand that structure in our physical world, including aspects like nutrition, sleep, and exercise, can provide the foundation for the freedom to innovate, create, socialize, and thrive. It’s about learning to hold the tension between our internal and external realities and finding equilibrium in this intricate dance.
The book offers practical insights through pulse check questions that help individuals determine where they might be experiencing a net gain or drain of energy in various aspects of their lives. Dr. Sangwan recognizes that burnout is deeply personal, and she aims to demystify it for each reader, making it relatable and actionable. Whether someone is actively experiencing burnout or simply seeking a path to regain a sense of balance and fulfillment, “Powered by Me” provides a roadmap to building meaningful habits.
Dr. Sangwan’s early-to-bed, early-to-rise lifestyle serves as an example. Still, she encourages readers to personalize their approach to habits, recognizing that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The book helps individuals assess their physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and guides them toward areas where they can make positive changes.
Perhaps the most important aspect of “Powered by Me” is the emphasis on alignment. Dr. Sangwan highlights that when our actions align with our values, we prevent the leak of energy that often leads to burnout. By paying attention to both the mind and the body, individuals can achieve alignment and work toward a more balanced, fulfilled, and energized life.
