It's all about YOU

Tension, Work Pressure, Studies, Competition, Entrance Exams, Proving yourself in this fierce competition, promotion, threats from being fired, all about you and your career. These are the scenes which occupy most of the human minds in today's life. Whatever career field you take, whatever your occupation is, whatever you are studying (or even your children are studying), these things have completely taken over human mind and to the extent our LIVES even !!!

In the race of achieving all what we have wished for in our life, we just keep on ignoring somebody, who is the very most important individual in our life, Ourselves !!


It would not be wrong to say that in my life so far, at least I haven't met many human beings of today's race who haven't cared about these things in their life more than anything else. If I have to count their numbers, I can do it on my finger tips because they are a few, very few. But, if you think over all this, even if you gain in your life race, you can not subside it at the cost of yourself, your life, and your health to be more precise. Yes, I am talking about yourself.

How many of us do really care about ourselves when it comes to keep ourselves healthy and clean with a sound body and a sacred spirit and soul ? Only You can answer this and no one else because it's all about You.

I was thinking over this from last few days and finally thought to pen this down in this blog to share and get your views on this. By no means I want to say that just forget about your career, growth, goals and things you wanna achieve in your life and just be behind your health. That would also not be a wise man's thinking these days especially when everywhere the situations are like " Prove yourself " or "Who is the winner ?".


But, shouldn't we be paying equal or reasonable importance  and attention to ourselves? Our body? Our health?

There is a very old proverb that says "Health is Wealth". But the question is do we really remember this ? And if we do remember, do we practice to set this proverb as a fact in our own life?

Below here, I would like to share some of the very good tips which will be very helpful in keeping our body clean and fit and start our day with heaps of energy.

Four Elements of YOU

Basically, there are four major elements our body is comprised of. These are:


A. Body itself (physical)
B. Mind
C. Heart
D. Soul.

In this post, I will share some good tips to keep ourselves clean, fresh and energised, means take care of our body, which is the First Element of YOU.

1. Get up early in the morning:

Most important key point is related to the time when you get up in the morning. Your whole day energy level depends on this factor. The most ideal time to get up is at least one hour before the Sunrise. The time between 5 a.m. to 6.00 is usually the best considered time. If you bring this as a habit of getting up early in the morning, you will be surprised to notice your energy level going up considerably.

Ben Franklin has said that “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”.

Now, when we talk about getting up early in the morning, it is possible only when you sleep early in the night. Because your body requires on an average of 7-8 hours sleep to revitalise and rejuvenate the tissues and the physique of your body. Both sleeping early and getting up early habits are linked strongly and effective only when practised together.

Once you practice this for few days / weeks, you will be amazed to see that after a certain period, you will not even require an alarm to wake you up and your body clock will set automatically to the timing you decide as your wake up call.

2. Exercise:

Devote 20 mins - 30 mins to the exercise in the fresh air. Early morning, Walking / Jogging in the fresh air is considered as the best exercise as you get tons of fresh breaths when it is neat and pure outside and the pollution has not started to hit the air. Again the biggest advantage of this will be that early morning exercises will keep you energetic and super fresh during the whole day.

3. Meditation / Worship:

After you take bath, spend 20 mins - 30 mins in meditating yourself in a quite room or in front of the Deity you worship. You may also utilise this time for chanting and worshipping God. This helps you in concentrating your entire body energy towards your mind and consolidating your powers to get what you want in your life.

4. Breakfast:

Have some healthy breakfast of your choice. The right breakfast foods can help you concentrate, give you strength - even help you maintain a healthy weight. The idea is to provide some extra energy to your body because you are going to start your work / job / studies and the breakfast keeps you going till lunch. Studies have proved that eating a healthy breakfast can help give you:

• A more nutritionally complete diet, higher in nutrients, vitamins and minerals
• Improved concentration and performance in the classroom or the workplace
• More strength and endurance to engage in physical activity
• Lower cholesterol levels

 5. Wise use of your extra time you get by getting up early morning

Now, since you start getting up early, you will have some extra time for some activity. Utilize this extra time for reading / studying. For students, it is the best time to study because your mind is not occupied with thousands of thoughts and it is very very fresh and empty. Studying early morning will help you improving your grasping level and increasing your memory power. For adults, it is advisable to read some good book which flows positive energies and thoughts to your body and mind. You feel fresh and powerful all day.

You will have some considerable extra time compared to many people in the world, giving you an added advantage, an edge to be successful in your life and achieve what you want, than compared to other people.

In the next post, we will discuss about the next element which is your "Mind".
