What he was to what he is
During his youthful days, many of his fans all over the world know that he was a chain smoker. His signature style of flicking the cigarette on to his mouth and it tempted an entire generation to smoke. However, he did kick the butt and has encouraged all his fans to not follow his on-screen persona and mimic such habits. A few years back, when he fell sick, it was said this habit of his had cost him too much on his health and his hospitalization triggered many a Rajinikanth loyalist to quit smoking!

- Physical activity – Exercise and physical activity are not only good for you, they’re also a fun way to spend time — a chance to unwind, to be outdoors, to get social or to simply do something that makes you happy
- Adequate sleep – turn off those smartphones and get a good sleep!
- Try something new – Take up gardening, start walking to and from the grocery store, or explore a local farmers market. These are fun ways be more active and explore new foods.
- Laugh – Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
- Family and friends – Instead of watching television, go bowling or play a game of badminton or table tennis with family and friends or even a swim in the pool should do a whole lot of good.
- Address addictive behaviors – like the superstar Rajinikanth who took action on his chain smoking, try to find out what you are addicted to and how much of a negative influence it has on your lifestyle.
- Gratitude – Check out what’s happening in your community. Are there community fitness classes at local parks, schools or gyms?

For the uninitiated, God created Heaven and Earth in 6 days, then he rested and created Rajinikanth on the 7th.
