We read a lot of stuff about others but hardly get time to think about one’s own self, the inner self. We can call it self meditation. Apart from doing yoga or some exercise we have to take care of ourselves. Here are 5 main things to know about yourself. Although there are many things in our life which are very important but I have short listed these 5.
- Physical well being.It is true that wealth is no guarantee to a healthy life. A person has to think very carefully when he/she has to choose from wealth or health. In today’s world, a person only thinks about amassing money. He remains busy in his routine. He hardly has time to go to visit a doctor for check up. People usually visit a doctor when they really got some ailing. According to APA , American psychological association, our body heal quickly when we take care of it sincerely. Our body needs our attention more than anything else.
- Don’t become addictive to social media & virtual machines: We are living in a world of advanced technology. People are talking about post industrial revolution. There is more & more research on inventions & innovations. Now a new blooming research on Artificial intelligence & robotics are opening a world of advanced technology. We are talking about replacement of manual labor with automated robots etc. So what is the point? Answer is when we waste our time using social media & virtual machines to kill our time then it will be a futile practice. The only thing that gives man an edge over AI robots is his creativity. So creativity never comes with waste of time but with practice & continuous intuition. Therefore, don’t waste your precious time by only playing games, using Facebook etc.
- Reading some good books can enhance your creativity & a healthy life: YES! It is a fact supported by new research that if you want a life longevity you should read more & more. But wait! There are two choices of books wether a person read a paper book or ebook on kindle. Well! My preference will be a paper book. Our sense of touch is more active when we read a paper book & it will boost our memory. We can feel a peculiar smell of a paper as it will trigger another sense i.e our sense of smell. When more senses are involved we will learn more. When we read on kindle our nerves feel more fatigued than reading a paper book. Our brain is diverted easily while reading on kindle. So we can’t get what we want from reading a book.
- Work for your own interest : Our brain is wired interestingly, it means it pays attention to those things which are interesting not to boring ones. Our creativity depends on our interest. I call it sequence wiring of our brain because our brain memorizes in simple order & sequence. That’s why we easily memorize 1 2 3 …..upto billions. The sequence of events make it interesting & our brain like interesting things.
- Good friends are buffers for you: No matter what the circumstances are in your life, good friends are buffers. As they have ability to neutralize harsh or bitter things that irritate you. Be choosy as it is a preveldge to have a sincere friend in your life.
