Mental Health
The mind and the body have very close relation with each other. When we are physically ill, our mind instantly becomes sick, full of irritation, fear, depression, we avoid meeting people, we do not feel to attend to our work and vice versa when we are mentally upset our body becomes lethargic, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, indigestion and general weakness etc. We feel healthy only when there is a balance in mental and physical health. This is possible if we follow the under mentioned tips.
Do not defer the work at your hands
Always try to start and finish the work you have in your hands at the earliest. The worry to do any work is a bigger load on your mind than the work itself. You can instantly feel the joy once you have completed that job however small or big it may be.
Simple Living healthy living
We should always try to live a simple life so that you can manage your family with a reasonable amount of earning. If you live a luxurious life, you have to earn more and more to satisfy your needs, you will have to spend most of the time for earning and in the process you would have no time to enjoy your life and maintain close relation with your family, in the process you may also resort to some illegal activities, falling into grave problems. This is the main reason that most of us are today losing our human values and close relation with the family and friends, in the race for earning more we loose our peace of mind and slowly we start developing insomnia and later fall into depression. Always have association of good people who have high thinking and teach you good things. Attend religious meetings and listen to religious discourses which always lead your life to peace and happiness. Always try to do some social welfare this will give you lot of happiness and create good social circle.
Small family happy family
Keep your family small if you really want to enjoy the life. A small family needs small place to live, small amount of money will be enough. We can give good education to our children etc. If the family is big, all the time we would be worrying for the earning and managing it. If we have too many children, it would be very difficult to give them a good life and good education. Later they would not be able to get into respectable profession. A big family is burden on itself, the society, the country and the humanity. Almost all the problems faced by the humanity in modern day have originated by the relentless increasing population.
Watch good movies, TV serials and read good books
Always watch good educative and entertaining movies, serials etc, so that, you feel fresh, happy and educated. Avoid reading of books and magazine, watching of TV serials and cinemas etc. which make your fearful, gloomy, desperate, and suspicious of our friends and family members. These always create confusion and frustration in our minds and we end up in sore relations with the family and the society. If we want our countrymen to be good citizens the authorities should stop the screening and publishing of such absurd material at any cost. Many such materials teach the ways of committing crimes by projecting the sequences as they happened, which is very harmful for the society.
Decent Clothing
Wear loose fitting clothes, mostly made of cotton and other natural sources, they are good for health. Never wear tight clothes as they disturb the circulations in the body. Though, it is at ones own discretion and liking, but tight clothing and wearing of clothes which cover only small portion of the body are not good for anyone as they expose our attitudes and provoke the people to pass bad comments and in many cases this is one of the main causes of violence against the females, all over the world. Now days most of the clothing is for style and not for covering the body. Most of the fashion shows now days show models wearing least clothes and it becomes difficult to make out whether they want to show the clothes or the uncovered bodies. We can ascertain what impact these show would have on the mind of the young generation.
Good moral character is important than lot of assets.
Give your children good education so that they develop as citizens with good character. Instead of giving large amount as pocket money give only the necessary amount so that, they do not fall into bad habits and waste money. In this way, they will have scarce money with them to spend and accordingly they would spend sparingly where actually needed. Teach your children to understand the value of money so that, they strive to earn money, save it and also to spend it wisely. The children so trained always would strive to increase the assets they have inherited other wise they would never think of earning and saving. Instead, they would finish whatever they have inherited.
Practice and teach Good Habits
We should always try to maintain good habits so that our offspring and others who come in our contact also learn those habits. Do not drink and smoke because these are harmful habits for you. Your children also would learn the same habits. Speak softly and slowly so that every one can listen and understand you. Always wear a smiling face so that whoever looks at you smiles as if you know him since long. No one smiles at the gloomy face. Smiling builds good friendship with all and it does not cost you any thing, make this a habit and observe its magic.
Tips for the old age
When you are in the earning age, try to save sufficient money for your old age needs by subscribing to old age benefit plans with good insurance companies, and saving schemes for respectful and happy old age. Let your offspring enjoy and use the facilities you have but keep the inheritance of your property in your own name till death, ultimately the inheritance automatically will go to your children. In this way we can maintain self respect in our family and the society. This principle applies to all, the old age persons of today and young who would become old tomorrow.
When we are not in a position to work and earn we should devote our time in social services, religious activities. Guide the younger generation with your experiences of life, if required and asked for, by them. It is wise to avoid messing up in their personal and professional life. Form a habit of doing light yoga exercises and pranayams daily, so that, the body remains fit without taking any medicines.
Proper money management
Money has very important place in our lives. There is no life without money but no money can be earned without healthy life. Always practice high moral ethics while earning money. Never compromise with the health and life of yourself and other people and the safety of your country, for earning money. Always spend and save your hard earned money sensibly in a balanced way. Do not expose your wealth to others, because it may lead in theft and also threat to life.
Save some portion of the money you earn, for the future needs of your family so that, you may not have to look for help at others, in case of emergencies. Always keep your hard earned money at safe hands, preferably with Government and well known organizations where you may get less interest but whenever you require, you would get your money back. There is lot of instances where people fall prey to quacks who assure you higher returns but when you require the money, they would not give even the principle amount. If you can spare some money, you should also subscribe for the medical, accident and life insurance policies. This would ensure monetary help to your dependents in case of any eventuality. If we are alive at the time of maturity we shall have our own money with us, for our old age needs. If we take these steps our mind becomes quite relaxed.
