The new year eve was wonderful. Having fun was the agenda, so I let my hair down. Even my three year old, accommodated and let me enjoy. She had fun because I was having fun perhaps.
Coincidentally, an article in TOI this morning highlighted how "Our bodies let us feel the emotions. Researchers from Aalto University say that all known human emotions have different ways of playing out in our body. We often experience emotions directly in the body. When strolling through the park to meet with our sweetheart we walk lightly with our hearts pounding with excitement, whereas anxiety might tighten our muscles and make our hands sweat and tremble before an important job interview. Numerous studies have established that emotion systems prepare us to meet challenges encountered in the environment by adjusting the activation of the cardiovascular, skeletomuscular, neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous system. This link between emotions and bodily states is also reflected in the way we speak of emotions: a young bride getting married next week may suddenly have 'cold feet,' severely disappointed lovers may be 'heartbroken,' and our favorite song may send 'a shiver down our spine.'"
My interpretation is that when the mind is happy, so is our body / actions, and so is our immediate environment that senses our actions. Therefore, keeping the mind happy is utterly important. How do you keep the mind happy? Eat well, sleep well, think well, read well, do well! Do what you really feel happy doing and you will be well!
Wishing all my friends, family and foes a very happy and prosperous 2014. Have a happy mind!
