FIVE TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIVING

It is said that if money is lost, nothing is lost, health is lost something is lost but if your character is lost everything is lost.

Let me rectify this with another proverb of Hindu Mythology “Pahla Sukh Nirogi Kaya) means first blessing is healthy body, “doosra sukh ghar mein ho maya” means second blessing is that you should have enough money at home.

We should not go for the number game. Besides earning handsome salary, the health issue must have a top priority for a person. If you are hale and hearty there will be more chances and opportunities.

The Founder of Art of Living, Shri Shri Ravi shankar says that for perfect health, a person should be mentally at peace, stable, and should be soft at the emotional level. Though in today’s fast life, you cannot target or focus on this very easily.

But there are few tips with which we can lessen mental and physical workload and thus bring change in the energy level. Today the technique has managed to unfold the secrets of the whole universe.

But the fact is that the man himself has not been able to unfold his own mystery.

MOST IMPORTANT IS TO KNOW YOURSELF:

First of all, it is necessary to know yourself. We must know our body, breathing, brain, wisdom, memory and ego. This helps us to know that we can cope up with the present. For this, it is better to take one week’s leave. This is like taking your car for servicing.

Make sure, that this leave period should not be made public. You can go to peaceful hill area, or in the distant plains, where nobody knows you. Every second of the time should be yours. No mobile, no newspaper even, no TV etc.

If you have facilities to remain in peace at home, you have a very good option. Only thing is that you should take a break from your daily life. During this time, try to involve yourself with nature. Get up in the morning. Do yoga at the time of sunrise.

Massage your body; take hot lime water in the morning. You can also do cycling, jogging, morning walk. During this period, try to have simple and nutritious food. Try to have fresh food. Take salads and other things like butter milk etc, which you used to avoid in your daily routine due to shortage of time. Though the fact is that, these things should be included in daily food routine. In busy schedule of life, you do not have time for your hobbies.

If you are a music lover, try to practice vocal or instrumental. If you do not know, try to join a class. The motive behind this is that spare some time for you.

MEDITATION SHOULD BE PART OF LIFE:

We are running after materialistic things throughout our life. Even if we pray sometime, we demand worldly belongings. If you are tired of all these things, leave all these behind. Sit in meditation, chat with God and make him your dearest friend.

Imagine when your child comes and demand for milk, then demands for chocolates, then again he demands for toys and after that he demands for cycle. And if you tell him to come and sit with you and he refuses by saying that he has no time, then how will you feel? On the same lines, when we always demand from God and never sit with him, how can we get contentment? With meditation you get complete rest.
