What to Do and What Not to Do!

What to Do: How to Live Life.

Following priorities are so natural and yet hard to follow exactly and in order.

  1. Take Proper Sleep; Do not engage in critical work or drive while feeling sleepy. After waking up in the morning, spend some time in the sunlight. In the winter, soak in the sun in the afternoon also.
  2. Eat Healthy, and chew your food properly. Give up refined wheat flour. (as a Creature)
  3. Maintain Mental Balance.* Make tele-calls to near and dear ones. Beware of Jealousy and Ego.
    (as a Conscious Being)
  4. Try to be Happy; Keep Hygiene; Bathe to Keep Body Odor at bay.
    (as a Social Being)
  5. If you are a vegetarian, have your blood tested to monitor levels of minerals (zinc, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iodine, iron...), vitamins (B12, D3, A, folate, B6...), and omega-3 fatty acids in your body. Also, check your blood sugar and blood pressure levels. If you consume processed/junk foods, ensure to check your LDL levels as well. Our body cannot synthesize B12. Get accurate information about essential health supplements
  6. Maintain a balanced intake of fibers, [complex] carbohydrates, proteins, etc.
  7. Support family members and others. Try to make people around you happy.
    (as a Homemaker)
  8. Engage in exercise at least four days a week, within the limits of your health, time, and energy.
  9. Study or engage in professional work to earn a living.
    (as a Professional)

Many of us tend to prioritize the opposite, working very hard but neglecting proper sleep. It is like horses pushing a cart instead of pulling it!


* Take professional help from more than one psychiatrist if required. Ask your psychiatrist to prescribe you the relevant supplements, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, Omega 3 fatty acids.

Nutrients are important not only for physical health but also for mental health!

Understand your primary business, profession, or duty, and differentiate it from your side business or hobby. This is a practice followed by successful professionals. The only issue with some of them appears to be that they distinguish between people they find useful and the rest of us.


What NOT TO DO

  1. Don't Use Narcotics, Don't Smoke, Don't Chew tobacco, Avoid Consuming Alcohol, etc.**
    (as a Creature)
  2. Do Not Offend Others by being greedy, self-centered or acting smart.
    (as a Good Human)
  3. Steer clear of harmful activities and toxic individuals.

** It's not difficult to give up your self-harming habits. Look forward to a better life without your bad habits. Resolve now to fight these habits with a strong will. You don't have to start swearing with - 'I will never do this or that'. Instead, say - 'This habit is not what defines my life. I will avoid it as much as possible.'

I dumped smoking after being addicted to it for 3 decades. >>

I told myself, smoking is taking away my health, so I will limit it to the extent that I will not be a slave to it. Now I hardly smoke. I am not afraid that it will again clutch me. In the past 12 months I might have lit 3 or 4 cigarettes. In the past three years I can't even recall whether this figure is 10 or 15. I threw away the only packet of cigarettes that I bought a year back as there were yellow stains on most cigarettes. Some people who know me say why not to resolve - 'I will never smoke'. Some say you don't know when you will start smoking again, even if you will smoke once. I tell them I am not afraid of cigarettes. These cannot define my personality or decide my destiny.

Remember, if you are drinking, smoking, etc., at regular intervals, even on (say) Sundays, you are somewhat dictated by it. You will probably crave it the whole week! Do not start smoking or drinking to prove to yourself that you can control these bad habits. Why harm yourself and destroy the happiness of your loved ones? Did you know these habits can cause weakness that may even lead to impotence?

The consumption of high-quality wine in moderate amounts was once thought to be beneficial for heart health. New research indicates that it may potentially disrupt how the heart functions. Drinking alcohol is the third preventable cause of cancer, after tobacco and obesity! Rarely, a very small dose (less than 20 ml) of wine, for some of us, may be a bit helpful.

We need to keep checking our emotions. Discuss your emotions with a professional or discuss them with a person who may not exploit them in any way. Emotional problems will hinder your daily routine and important tasks! As per Tim Pychyl of Carleton University, procrastination is an emotion regulation problem, not a time management problem.
