In today’s world, where stress is a part and parcel of our lives, it is becoming more and more important to be mentally healthy and strong. Whether it is meeting deadlines in the office, managing people who work for us, pleasing the bosses, teaching in educational institutions, working hard to clear examinations, doing our day to day chores or maintaining a good relationship with people around us everything causes stress. The world is so fast paced that in order to keep up with it, we end up neglecting our own mental and physical health. While physical health gives us the energy to do all days’ physical activities, it is our mental health which gives us courage, desire and will to get going specially at testing times. The ultimate aim is to be happy and contented with life and we should question ourselves if we are doing enough for that. Earning money, going all out to please others and yet not being happy ourselves takes a toll on our mind and health. As we all know body and mind are interconnected…. healthy mind lives in a healthy body. Eat nutritious food, drink enough water to detoxify and sleep well.
We can not change the adverse situations, nor can we dissociate from the rest of the world but we can take some time out for ourselves everyday in order to relax, rejuvenate and recharge everyday. We owe that much to ourselves. For that we should do whatever makes us happy. Here are a few suggestions…
1. Meditation- benefits of spirituality and meditation are proven and known to all. Go for it.
2. Leisurely walks- breathe in fresh air early morning before you kick start for the day.
3. Listen to good music- soothing music has a very calming effect.
4. Spend some 'quality time' with family - Have a good time with your loved ones everyday, nothing is more pleasurable than spending some precious moments with family.
5. Chill out with friends – have a good laugh with real friends, forget all worries.
6. Just do what you like- play a game of badminton, read a nice book, soak in the bathtub for half an hour, get a good head massage or simply read a motivating article on Boddunan…anything that makes you feel good.
Life it worth living when there is happiness and satisfaction….live it King size.
