Take care of your mind and body from "summary" of Ikigai by Héctor García,Francesc Miralles
In order to live a fulfilling and purposeful life, it is essential to prioritize the well-being of both our minds and bodies. Our physical health is closely linked to our mental well-being, and vice versa. When we take care of our bodies through proper nutrition, regular exercise, and sufficient rest, we are also supporting our mental health. Physical activity not only keeps our bodies strong and healthy, but it also releases endorphins that improve our mood and reduce stress. Similarly, taking care of our minds is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. Engaging in activities that challenge our cognitive abilities, such as reading, puzzles, or learning a new skill, can help keep our minds sharp and focused. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and meditation can help reduce anxiety and improve our mental clarity. By nurturing our minds, we can enhance our emotional resilience and cultivate a positive outlook on life. It is important to recognize that our minds and bodies are interconnected, and caring for one without the other can lead to imbalance and dissatisfaction. Neglecting our physical health can impact our mental well-being, causing fatigue, low mood, and decreased motivation. Similarly, neglecting our mental health can manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches, digestive issues, or muscle tension.- We can improve our overall quality of life. Finding activities that bring us joy and fulfillment, whether it be through exercise, creative pursuits, or spending time with loved ones, can help us achieve a sense of harmony and well-being. When we take care of ourselves holistically, we are better equipped to navigate life's challenges and pursue our passions with purpose and enthusiasm.
