Three ways for healthful life and truly feel good:
It will involve working on yourself—however, this investment will pay off greatly in the long run. Here are three methods, tested throughout three millenniums:

1.   Start monitoring your thoughts. Spend five minutes every evening writing down how you felt that day. Remember the situations you encountered and emotions you felt. What negative character traits does that uncover? What do you plan to do tomorrow to start improving yourself and to change those particular character traits? It is very important to write everything down.

2.   Try to think more about things that make you happy. This is the miracle of positive thinking. When you concentrate on the things that you like, it's as if you move to a different frequency of vibrations, and the body starts to heal itself. Even better, there will be a greater number of good things in your life, because everything you think about becomes reality, including the problems that bother you. Concentrate on things you enjoy and watch how everything begins to change.

3.   Try out meditation. During meditation, the body and mind rest and heal themselves. You can read more about meditation in the article "How To Own A New Ferrari And Be As Smart As Einstein, Just By Calmly Sitting On Your Couch".

Illness is simply our body's signal about an incorrect (or, rather, non-beneficial) lifestyle. Firstly it manifests as anxiety, fear, and negative thoughts. Only then, if no effort is made to work on oneself, the body sends a more powerful signal to get your attention and make you think about what you are doing wrong, in the form of physical symptoms.

Leave only the useful and meaningful things in your life. Because everything that is useful to you is always useful to others.

HAPPINESS


*Happiness can be divided into 3 categories:*
*1. Physical happiness
*2. Mental happiness
*3. Spiritual happiness


These are brief summary of steps to take for achieving these in our lives:


*For Physical Happiness:*
a. Regular and proper *DIET*.
b. Regular and proper *REST*.
c. Regular and proper *YOGA and EXERCISE*.


*For Mental Happiness:*
a. Minimize *Expectations*.
b. Minimize *Ego & Pride*.
c. Minimize *Negative Thoughts*.


*For Spiritual Happiness:*
a. Recognize your *SOUL* as a separate entity from the body.
b. Do not live in the *PAST*.
   Free yourself of past memories and experiences.
   Do not worry about the *FUTURE*.
   But, plan for IT.
   Free yourself in *PRESENT* of any attachments and hatred *Raag Dvesh*.
c. Help all living beings without any expectations.
d. Meditate regularly and surrender to the Supreme Soul.


         *BE A HAPPY SOUL, ENJOY EVERY MOMENT*

*To have a clear understanding of dharma (righteousness), one has to keep away from sexual, money activities, meat, and alcohol. With strong will power with deep research you can become remarkable scholars, dynamic orators, narrators, successful and much more. Be Patriotic, Work on truth, Protect Own Nation.

*ShivYog daily practices "Saadhana/Dyan for self-realization, Seva to the nation, and Sankeertan for ascension to higher dimension".

*Remember: when you are alone in Dyaan (deep meditation) forget every other thing every other person, just focus on SELF ONLY SELF, but when you are with others, forget self, focus on helping and loving others selflessly.

*Best charity or a leader can do is to arrange free meals to the poor, educate to walk in right direction, teach humanity, teach patriotism, teach them to fight for the country to protect dharma, teach to love the nature, plant trees, keep the surroundings clean, green and hygiene. Be kind to birds and animals, live and let live, stay positive and cool minded.

*No matter how successful the person might be, he or she should not shy away from their identity, culture, heritage, and religion. Be proud to say who you are... the world appreciates for being truth !

Heartfulness

Meditation has to be a daily affair.
We sleep every day,
we feel stressed every day,
so why not meditate every day?
That is the pill.
We take multivitamin tablets
when we have some deficiency.
Meditation is a multi-body tablet;
it is not just for your physical body,
but for your subtler bodies also.
