Deepak Dewaly came to the United States in 2015 to pursue his higher education, get a good job, and bring his family over from Nepal.

After completing his MBA in 2018, he began working as an IT Consultant and Business Intelligence Developer. Things seemed to be going according to plan.

That was until Deepak’s mother, who still lived in rural Nepal and had extremely limited access to health care, fell terribly ill.

Deepak was stricken with worry. He was unable to communicate often with his family, his grades began to drop, and he lost countless nights of sleep over the unknown.

Then he learnt about mindfulness and meditation. After spending countless hours researching and practicing meditation, he was able to let go of worry and the negative thoughts that plagued his life, and began living for the now, for today.

Seeing how mindfulness and meditation impacted his own life, Deepak founded The ReadTreat Institute of Inner Sciences and Wellbeing with a mission of helping people live a stress free and a purpose driven life by cultivating spiritual knowledge and mindfulness practices.

He has been conducting live online #readtreatmeditation sessions and is working on building a course to help people make both reading and meditation a daily habit.

In this episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness podcast, Deepak and I discuss how mindfulness and meditation greatly impacted his own life, how our thoughts directly impact and change the way our bodies feel and act, and why every thought is an affirmation.
