Anita, a 52-year-old resident of Pune, left her job at an NGO in 2020 to finally live for herself. With a master's in social service and years of dedication to her career, she found herself at a crossroads when the pandemic disrupted her plans to visit her son in Canada. However, this unexpected turn led her to discover new opportunities through GetSetUp.
Reflecting on her life after leaving her job, Anita shared,
"2020 was challenging because I was used to coming home at 10 or 11 pm and rarely stayed at home. I was used to going to Mumbai twice a week. And suddenly I was at home. I helped my company with some online events, and that helped me."
As she adapted to this new lifestyle, Anita found solace and structure through GetSetUp. She began taking yoga classes on the platform and now participates in them regularly. This new routine not only filled her time but also brought her a sense of community and belonging.
"The GetSetUp platform keeps you going and motivated. It teaches you new things. It takes away your loneliness. I have made so many new friends at the age of 50! I haven't met anyone in real life, but I see them every day in classes on screen. We talk, share, and I’d like to meet some of them," Anita says with enthusiasm.
For Anita, GetSetUp has become more than just a platform for learning—it's a lifeline to social connection and personal growth. She even participated in a virtual fashion show, an experience she describes as "fantastic," highlighting how GetSetUp has encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone and try new things.
When asked about her favorite class, Anita quickly mentions,
"Bhavani’s class. She gives doable and reachable solutions. You can see the results immediately."
This practical advice has empowered her to make positive changes in her life.
Anita's story is a testament to the transformative power of community and lifelong learning. GetSetUp not only helped her adjust to a new phase in life but also provided her with the tools to thrive. As Anita wisely puts it,
"Live and let others live. You be happy, and then you will make others happy. Love yourself and remain happy always."
By participating in these and other GetSetUp classes, Anita has rediscovered her zest for life, proving that it's never too late to embrace new experiences and find joy in everyday moments.
