" Optimum health is not merely the absence of disease but the presence of wellness in mental, emotional, physical, mental and social areas. Some would even financial health. "
Introduction
Optimum health is at all levels, from the individual to the society in which we live, about the environment around us. We must begin the wealth not only in relation to the possession of money and property, but also the possession of mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Mental Health
The truth is, mind is the forerunner of all states.
With a right attitude, a poor man can still be happy. Conversely, if the head is not right, no matter how much material you have possession, you can still have a very unhappy person. Thus, Gandhi said, "" The world has enough for everyone's needs, but not enough, even for a single person, the greed. "
So that a healthy mind is that a mentality, which leads to happiness and satisfaction with themselves and the world around us. It provides clarity of thoughts, good insight and the ability to see things from an objective spirit.
To see what an objective mind is no small feat. It is extremely difficult to note or observe the unfolding of events and phenomena without judging. We habitually associate emotions or feelings to events, and allow such feelings, our actions. Our likes for certain things and dislikes for others are closely linked to our emotions.
Emotional Health
It is our emotions that we act impulsively to be. For example, a high degree of self-awareness in this area is extremely useful. In fact, it is important to our wellbeing. After all, the things and relationships, the year for us to build can be destroyed in a moment of anger.
There are positive and negative emotions. Positive emotions such as love, compassion and joy should be cultivated, while negative emotions such as fear, anger and hatred to be removed.
When asked about this, a wise Sage of India once illustrated with a story:
An old man said to his grandson, "" boy, I have two tigers locked up in me. One is love and compassion. The other is fear and anger. "
The boy asked, "What will we win, grandfather?" "
The old man replied: "That's what I feed."
Sometimes it may seem that we have no control over our emotions. That is not true. The truth is, how well we feel depends on how we know, our emotions, especially on our emotions. The sooner we are able to observe, from our emotions, we better we can manage.
More and more studies show that our wellbeing is closely linked to our emotional and mental health. Our body's immune system is usually characterized by positive thinking and emotion. Conversely, it is depressed by negative mental and emotional states. Thus, stress, anxiety, anger and fear are some states that may lead to physical illnesses such as hypertension, heart disease, stomach ulcers, depression and a host of other complaints.
Physical Health
To continue an optimum physical well-being, we must therefore focus not only on our bodies but also our mind and emotions.
On a physical level, our body can be kept healthy through adequate sleep and rest, proper nutrition, regular exercise and a healthy environment, free from impurities.
Spiritual Health
Over the centuries, wise men have informed and taught us that we are essentially spiritual beings.
Although medical science has not been able to show us our spiritual nature, there are many indirect evidence that we would be foolish to ignore. Stories of people who had gone through a near death experience (NDE), or dying people with higher consciousness just before death, or simply a cure from an "incurable disease all suggest that there is more to life than just the physical state.
The main religions of the world all of its teachings on the belief that we are essentially spiritual beings. According to these teachings, our physical existence is secondary.
While it may be true, should focus on, that our life more on our spiritual nature than our physical nature, it would be difficult for the majority of people do, at least not immediately. We can not change overnight. Setting may, however, and this is perhaps the best place to start.
Financial Health
However, on a mundane level, most people are still stuck, in order to survive, such as from day to day where you check the next installment to be paid for the house, so on and so forth.
Practically, we need the ability to achieve a financial state, as theoretically Free us from the limitation of "forced" labor. This is where the concept of financial freedom is so attractive. Under this approach should be for a state in which we have received one or more than one source of income, can be generated passively, that is, even if we do not work.
That is what Robert Kiyosaki termed as' passive income '.
According to him, passive income can only be achieved by becoming an investor or an entrepreneur, not a single owner or employees. To view an investor or an entrepreneur, you need to spend time and money to acquire financial intelligence. Unlike IQ or EQ, you can use financial intelligence through self education.
To a financial health check-up by an accountant, banker or a financial planner you can trust.
Healthy relationship
"" No man is an island, entire of itself. ""
As a doctor, I'm in a unique position to ensure comfort and dying patients. One of the most important is that I have observed that dying people do not ask about their money or possessions. Instead they focus their remaining energy and strength on trying to heal wounded relationships. It is as if it is an inherent need to make a reasonable period to a relationship.
To create and maintain a healthy relationship is important for our wellbeing. Unfortunately, this is something we often ignored until it is too late. If there is a pardon to be done, or the need to forgive, so that things the last few minutes until the end of May with an unfulfilled desire for closure.
Knowing this now, we should not spend more time and effort in improving our relationships with our loved ones, especially with our parents, spouses, children and siblings?
