Ever since our honourable Prime Minister urged India to be ‘Atmanirbhar’ in an address amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, the term is trending. While earlier Atmanirbharta only meant self-reliance, now, it is becoming a way of life. People across the country are trying their best to be as Atmanirbhar as possible so that they can battle out the physiological and financial impact of COVID. What about you?
As mentioned earlier, Atmanirbhar is a Hindi word which means to be self-reliant. If you are Atmanirbhar, you do not have to depend on anybody and anything for mental and financial peace.
If you too are thinking of including Atmanirbharta in your daily lifestyle, here are some things which you need to do –
- Take care of your health
Today, when the infection is rising alarmingly, you need to be extra careful of your health. You should try and boost your immunity, stay healthy through regular exercises, eat a balanced diet and, of course, avoid the outdoors. A healthy body is a peaceful mind and you should therefore try and stay healthy. Adopt the practice of personal hygiene and stick to it because, in the current situation, your life literally depends on it. Wash your hands thoroughly if you have been outside. Masks and sanitizers are an absolute must and social distancing should be the unsaid practice.
- Be calm, mentally
The topic of mental health is usually ignored but it is no small matter. Given the lockdown when your ability to work is restricted and the economy is facing a recession, you should ensure that you are mentally happy. Practice meditation, breathing exercises and bond with your family. Don’t worry about something which is not in your control. Be peaceful and believe that you would be able to tide over this difficult time.
- Don’t let the lockdown affect your income
As a PoSP (Point of Sales Person) you don’t need to visit your office to earn. You don’t even have the fear of losing your job since you are the owner of your own business. So, even when there is a lockdown in many parts of the country, your business can run unaffected. Thanks to the development in modern technology, your clients are just a WhatsApp, phone call or video call away. Why do you need to visit your clients when you can sell online? So, become an Atmanirbhar advisor for your clients. Fix up phone meetings and help your clients buy their policies online. The Mintpro application is at your service and you can use it to sell insurance policies online without the need of physical contact.
- Develop an Atmanirbhar relationship with your clients
The current pandemic has made health insurance an in-demand product. With the rising number of cases, people are looking for health insurance plans to cover their medical costs if the disease does strike. So, reach out to your clients and find out if they are covered against the possible financial impact of the infection. Educate them to invest in optimal health insurance coverage which would cover their medical costs in case of COVID hospitalisation. Make them Atmanirbhar themselves so that they develop trust in you and your relationship continues lifelong.
Besides the current trend, Atmanirbharta is, in essence, a way of life which would help you become financially, mentally and physically fit. So, start depending on yourself whether you want to become healthy or you want to boost your income and you would emerge a winner in this COVID crisis.
