Diary 245: You are what you think you are
Diary 245: You are what you think you are
Many generally thought there is no connection between the body and the mind.
Many are beginning to realise that we actually assist the body’s quest for health with our thoughts.
In his book, Beyond Relaxation Response, Dr Herbert Benson, a profession of cardiology, put up a strong case for the mind’s power to change the body physically.
There is a tremendous role of beliefs play in our life.
If we truly believe we can do something to improve our health, we can.
Every cell in our body is like a soldier, ready to act to maintain and reclaim good health.
The cells are waiting for our instructions.
To lose weight and overcome diseases, start by believing that we can and will!
Will this work?
Try and see if this works for you.
You are likely to be pleasantly surprised.

Diary 244: Forgiveness brings peace of mind
Diary 244: Forgiveness brings peace of mind
Mr X came to my office one morning to borrow some money about 8 years ago.
I gave him the money on condition that he was to return the it by monthly installment. He agreed.
Since then, he did not come to my office any more.
In fact, he avoided meeting me in the workplace.
It must have been a torture by avoiding people like me.
In the morning of 3 December 2010, I approached him during our monthly staff gathering.
“Kes anda dengan saya telah selesai dan dihalalkan. Tak perlu elakkan saya lagi.”, I sincerely told him.
“Betul?”, he asked.
Sure.
He smiled happily.
I learn this in life. When we loan out some money, we have to prepare that borrower will not return it. Just treat it as a donation.
Forgiveness brings peace of mind and good health to both parties.

Diary 243: Good deed brings good health
Diary 243: Good deed brings good health
I believe that doing good deeds can bring good health to a certain extent.
Good health is not achieved by taking care of our daily diet alone.
It is about our whole way of life.
If one does more good deeds in daily living, one can expect to enjoy a pretty good health. Even if one is faced with certain illness, one may be able to overcome it.
You may say there is no scientific proof on this perception.
In life, we do not have to wait for scientific proof to confirm that good deeds bring good health, good deeds avoid unfortunate event, .....
I just do good deeds everyday.
How to do them?
Just take have good thoughts, speech and action.
True enough, there is peace of mind and I have a good sleep every night.

Diary 242: Protect our health and those we love
For the more affluent parents of today, there is a concious effort to provide the best for their children.
This now includes some form of funds for their education and insurance for their health.
Health insurance can assist to cover part of the medical bill.
However, it does not protect our children’s health.
Protecting our children’s health starts with the right eating habits.
If the children are not in good health due to unproper eating habits, it is going to be a burden to the parents.
Wise parents protect their health and that of their children by taking foods that keep diseases at bay.

Diary 241: Retirement plan for health
If you read the newspapers you find write-ups on retirement plan.
The plan normally touches on financial retirement plan.
It advises you how to invest wisely on fixed deposits, unit trusts, bonds, equities or pay for insurance premiums.
Very seldom, the plan advises us to take care of our health.
To me, taking care of our health is very important if we want to live a healthier and happier life at the last golden years of our life.
It such is the case, we have to start as early as possible.
We cannot afford to wait till retirement to take care of our health.
For me, taking care of our health means minimum dependence on medicines.
It means taking natural and organic foods to maintain health.
It means exercising regularly.
It means keeping the mind calm.
