WHY KEEPING YOUR MIND HEALTHY IS IMPORTANT?

The thoughts we create in our minds reflects on our day to day lives. Once we start creating thoughts, our brain sends some frequencies to the things we create thoughts or think about. Gradually our minds starts attracting all those things we think. That is why there is a famous saying and also a song by Earl Nightingale,

“We become What Think About“.

If you start thinking good everyday, good things will naturally attract you. While thinking good things we send positive energy to the universe and hence same reflects back in our lives. On the other hand if you will only focus on bad and gloomy things then you will generate negative vibes and will attract the same energy in your personal lives. 

The most beautiful thing about mind is that we can control it. 

So now we know it is entirely on us what kind of energy we attract in our lives. The excellent news is we can control our strongest weapon, our mind. And hence we will be focusing on making our minds our best friend and not our worst enemy. Keeping our mind clean and healthy is the key to enormous happiness and peace in life.

We can say that meditation is mind’s favorite dish. Our brain works non stop even wile we dream at night, so it does need some relaxation. Meditation is a must for mind to stay clean, calm, healthy and active. Also meditation strengthens our mind and helps us to stay focused and perform our day to day activities effectively. 

Exercise daily.

Exercising not only makes us physically fit but also helps us to stay mentally fit as well. When we exercise, our body releases chemicals such as Dopamine in our brain that makes us feel happy. Making a fixed time to exercise daily is an excellent food for our mind.

Eat healthy diet.

Eating healthy food makes body and mind function smoothly. We must never neglect our meals and have at least one fruit and a leafy vegetable every day. 

Do one thing that makes you happy each day. 

We feel pleasant and happy when we do something we love. So making ourselves and our mind and heart happy everyday is an important ingredient for a happy and healthy mind. You can watch your favorite movies or TV shows, listen to your favorite music, read your favorite books or just simply go down in memory lane and re live the good times of your life. Re start a hobby which you had to stop because life got busy. So today think of your old days and restart a hobby which was your favorite past time in those days. 

Fix hours and time to sleep. 

Getting enough sleep is highly recommended for an active mental life. We must sleep and wake up at the same time each and everyday. Sleeping well is very crucial for a healthy mind and body.
