Hello! Welcome to How Can I Make It A Better World?"
A joke: At end of a tiring, frustrating day, I had no energy left to struggle with cooking at home.
So I took myself to a Chinese Take-away shop which proclaimed in its window, and on the service counter, "Service with a smile."
In line with the day, my wait to be served also turned out to be frustratingly long.
I could see several attendants busying themselves with in the kitchen, but no one came out to serve me.
Finally I blurted out, "That is a nice service with a smile you are giving me."
One of the attendants came out, "We can't serve you, Sir, until you have smiled, and you have only shown us your glum face."
Elixir of Life.
I have found my elixir of life.
I know how I will be able to enjoy radiant health.
To enjoy a life of fun and joy, free of worries and disease I need to incorporate the following in my life;
1. Accept "mentalism" as the nature of my reality.
Nature of reality is a topic that can be discussed ad infinitum.
By 'mentalism," in essence, I mean that the world I experience, my world to include my body, is a projection of a Cosmic Mind through an atom of that same Mind which is my own true self.
My senses detect this projections and report back to my mind as a world existing outside of the mind.
The world is, in effect, a 'maya' a phantom, like the dream I dream at night.
By my prevailing thoughts, with my visions of the body and future I want, I can affect what the Universe projects through my mind.
That is the "mentalism" I need to accept as being the ultimate truth.
2. For at least two sessions a day, each session to be about five minutes, I need to completely relax each muscle of my body.
I need to be at peace with my surroundings and with my own self.
During this period of relaxation I need to attend to my breathing.
This breathing to be deep and full, but natural, and slow. I will not hold my breath in my body, or delay my inbreathing after exhalation.
3. Every day I will drink copious amount of ordinary water. A guide to the amount of water I need to drink is given by my weight in pounds divided by two. This is amount of water in fluid ounces I need to drink daily. One ounce, I remember is, for this purpose, 30mls.
So for me, I will drink about two litres a day.
This will be as two or three glassfuls on rising, a glassful before and after food, and a glassful several times during the day, and before sleep at night.
Regret for this need, cups of tea, orange drink, cola drinks, wines etc. will not count towards my water intake.
I need not reduce my normal salt intake whilst i am drinking copious amounts of water.
3. I will daily ensure that I do some aerobic exercises. Some movements every day that will get the blood circulating freely in my body.
4. I will do something creative everyday. Anything that requires me to create something where nothing existed before. This may be playing a musical instrument, singing, drawing, writing, art work, or even my work that earn me money.
That is essentially it.
My elixir of life.
Obviously a lot more is needed to make life fun and joy and free of disease.
But my feeling is that provided I incorporate these practices into my life, other requirements for a healthy happy life, like a balanced diet, happy relations, money, etc. will be as a sort of side effect of following these practices. As such they will be easier to obtain than otherwise.
Finally, it goes without saying that these are my opinion as an ordinary common man.
You need to seek advice from your health professional in all matters regarding your health and wellness.
