Wisdom says to concentrate on the present as it is a gift from God, but in reality, it is not possible to emphasize only the present, and we have to consider the surrounding circumstances too. Past, Present, and Future are the three steps forming the life circle, and we are on the constant verge of facing challenges for our survival in both physical and mental ways.
The circumstances we face on a day-to-day basis depending on our knowledge, upbringing, and reaction to society's vast actions. In our school days, a subject was taught to us about our moral behavior. Still, while we grow to cross all the numerous years and reach a particular point where sustaining ourselves falls under top priority, we tend to forget the very basics of the subject. The name is 'Moral Science.'
If we study our past days, what we learned from school, our family elders, and close ones, we will see that we have derived a lot from them but executed a few. This is due to building an invisible barrier made of self-centered belief, selfishness, greed, and more. We are the most opportunist ones to face new changes again and again and losing them repeatedly because we are on a constant run towards better living, better dreaming, and more, and through this running, we eventually forget the humane within us.
We have adapted to a culture of competitiveness and comparison, forgetting fraternity, equality, and living a robotic life. It is nice to get off the past, but the past is only the best teacher who guides us for a better tomorrow as it shows us the mirror of our past mistakes and instructs us not to repeat them and thus redesign our journey to the future.
Physical and Mental health both have similar effects on our better thriving in all conditions. We are all busy and engaged in varied activities to earn, run our household, and live our dreams. While we give importance to our physical health, we have to give the same importance to our mental health, too, as a disturbed mind slowly affects our body, and sometimes the damage incurred becomes irreversible.
Summarized below are some steps we should follow to maintain the balance of physical and mental health –
- Exercise – Comfortably doing free-hand exercises is needed daily. This results in proper blood circulation, which is good for the heart and supply of oxygen across all parts of the body
- With Nature – Try to spend a little time with nature. Take a 10 to 15 minutes frequent break from your work schedule and face the sunlight, look up to the clouds and breathe fresh air. Walking barefooted on new grasses in the morning is good for the nervous system and our eyesight.
- Relax your mind – It is essential to relax your mind in various ways. Watch entertaining shows, comedy programs, listen to good and relaxing music
- Proper diet – What we eat has severe effects on our health. Try to have nutritious food items. Consult your dietician in case of any anomaly.
- Travel – It is said your life is incomplete if you don’don'tvel at specific intervals. Explore the world around you. Indulge in the different environments and observe new things
- Reading – This culture is the oldest and the best. Books are like our friends. Try to read uncommon and new books, and you will gradually learn new things.
Your company of friends and acquaintances always has an impact on your well-being. So always be selective and choose the best for you. The number of friends is not essential. Always remember that an honest and loyal One is always better than Many with veiled faces. Maintain a protocol of how much you make yourself accessible to others. Follow integrity all the time. Love yourself, think positively, and you will have a good and well-balanced life.
