In today’s modern lifestyle we are deeply immersed in stress
and anxiety throughout the day. The morning starts with jumping out of the bed
without a complete sleep, and running to prepare and dress up for the office.
Most often we do not even get enough time for eating our breakfast because more
important to us is to reach office at time. Next 8 to 10 hours are spent in the
office exhausting ourselves doing work in a desk sitting right in front of the
computer. Then returning from office and going to bed after having dinner
remains the sole objective.
Hence we start our day without having proper sleep, end our
day with a stressful mind; and anxiety runs within us throughout the day. In
doing so, peace and mental relief becomes a thing unimaginable.
But the fact is, whatever we are doing, or whichever career
we are pursuing, it is ultimately to accomplish prosperity. But the bigger
question is, does prosperity only mean earning a lot of money? It doesn’t.
Prosperity includes our mental peace, psychological stability and the ability
to sleep soundly.
But what a person can do to attain mental peace and
tranquility in a lifestyle as has been mentioned before?
Lifestyle experts and doctors opine that taking out at least
1 hour in the day for yourself is very much essential. This 1 hour would be
just for yourself without any worries of the outside world and if possible being
away from the phone too.
Utilize this one hour very wisely. Do very light exercise
and a bit of yoga for 30 to 45 minutes. Spend the rest 15 to 30 minutes practising
meditation. It’s easy to learn meditation watching YouTube videos. And while
doing the meditation, do play a light music in the background lowering the
sound as much as possible. There are specialized music available for this
purpose nowadays. Also light an incense stick if possible. It’s necessary to
put off the bright lights.
These would surely help to some extent.
Try to keep aside negative thoughts and focus on the
positive ones. There are many positive things in our life which we overlook to
mourn about the negatives. Be thankful to the Almighty for the things you have.
Many people crave for food twice a day.
Doing brisk exercise, practising Yoga & Meditation, and
keeping a positive mind would boost your mental health to a large extent. These
would make you cool, calm and happy.
Apart from these always try to be with people you love to
spend time with, people who are full of positive energy and those who can
appreciate things. Giving and getting appreciation levitates us to a great
level of joy.
The most important thing to remember is that if we are
mentally unhappy and always in stress it would hugely affect our health &
well being and ultimately make us ill.
Be happy, be healthy, and enjoy life to its fullest!
