Mind is most powerful and precious tool, which has to be kept in proper shape. We live through our mind in this world. All possessions and assets are meaningless if we don’t posses a healthy mind. Healthy mind in a healthy body is required for a satisfying and happy life. Mind is like an old horse which has to be exercised if we want it to work in order, recommends John Adams. Mind has to be kept afresh otherwise it will not function properly.
People do exercise like aerobics, yoga, jogging, swimming etc. .People in this busy world have got inspired and have realized to keep their body fit through external agents like VLCC an swami Ram dev. They spend thousand of bucks in slimming centers going there in the early morning or even in late evenings. They buy expensive “ low cal “ food, buy expensive equipments to keep their body in shape and look beautiful and presentable. But very little effort is put in looking after their mental faculties. They never care to know that their mental health has strong effect on our physical health.
We human beings are generally assured that our mental powers are always best. We think that our mind is always right. We are presumptuous about our wisdom that we never think of improving and reconsidering our own mental powers. Each human mind has a unique way of perceiving things. Everyone develops his/her own way of looking at things. And develop perception about it. This process starts from childhood. When we grow up, our mind gets a filter. It sees things and allow the things only which conform to our way of thinking which we have developed over the years. We don’t accept new ideas and thoughts, which are not in the conformity with our existing mental faculties. Our mind is dominated by many things like:
Ego: It does not allow us to acknowledge positive points of others. We generally try to find faults in others because of this ego.
Fear: It threatens our mind that if we are not going to be accepted in the world , then our power to think rationally may be lost.
Insecurity: We feel insecured that new ideas may have negative changes in our lives.
Hesitant to accept changes: Our mind hesitates to accept challenges thinking of being failed at some time.
Lack of courage: We are happy as the things are going on. We lack courage to try out new ideas thinking of their consequences.
Fear of being unsuccessful: Our mind lacks confidence and thus always has a fear of being unsuccessful. This lack of confidence is because we have a close mind.
Negative thinking: Most of the negative thinkers generally find faults in others. They criticize others and find almost everything boring. They don’t admire other people and thus, they themselves decay.
All above said, are the ways which don’t allow human beings to be open minded, clear-headed and successful. Positive orientation and zest for happy life is utmost important. For this we need to have a refreshed mind, which not only fills our life with hope and happiness but also enthusiasm.
Keep in mind following points to have a refreshed and healthy mind-
Take care of your mind as you look after your body, home, property, business and other assets. The secret of self victory is open-mindedness
Keep aside emotions like ego, fear, negative attitude towards new thoughts and ideas.
Expose yourself to new ideas and thoughts, people and places.
Read good and encouraging books.
Develop writing habit. It will help you to go deeper and have clear understanding. Writing will challenge your mental faculties to think more and more.
Accept positive points of others and learn to accept faults in your own self.Never conceited enough to think that you need no improvement.
