Apart from the daily routine,are you doing your best to stay mentally fit?

Well, when I was going to church several times a week, I did alright emotionally, because I had a close relationship with God, read the bible every single day, had friends who were also going to church all the time, and if they were hypocrits, I refused to be around them. I didn't say sinners, I said hypocrits. I haven't been in church for a while. I was very emotionally hurt at the church I was a member of. That really messed me up. Now that I am not in church or in the word continuously, I am taking meds to try to be balanced.

read a lot of books and then meditate afterwards after that make a review and post

I entirely agree with you.Merely having a good physic is insufficient if the mind is out of control,undisciplined and continualy in a disturbed condition." A healthy mind in a healthy body" is a well known saying and how true it is.A man who has made peace with his mind will always be in a state of bliss and will never be disturbed by any circumsatnce or situation.People search for happiness everywhere except in the place where it is really found,within oneself,ie in the mind.Self realized Yogis who have brought their mind under control and gone beyond it through their practices of Pranayam or breath control and deep meditation have found the peennial fount of peace and happiness in their mind.As for myself i have through 20 odd years of Pranayam and meditation reached that state where no storms disturb my mind and i have reached that state of equanimity even though my body is suffering as i am wheelchair bound permanently with muscular dystrophy for over 20 years.It is my good fortune in having found a guide or Guru who has given me and many others the recipe for true happiness and complete and permanent peace of mind.

I am trying on yoga and meditation. Hope it helps my mentality.

i wish i could be very happy with my life^^ i think that for us to be happy with our lives it is needed that we have a good job and a good lover^^ we all need a job so we can survive and a job that we like so we can be happy. also there is needed love so we can be totally happy. no one can be in such a great happiness if dont have someone that loves them a lot. love is like the most important thing. also we all need friends too^^

You are right ritzz, it is a famous phrase 'a healthy mind and a healthy body'. But people tend to ignore the first part of it, and perform exercises to keep their body fit, but neglect their mind. As for me, I too come under the same category, but when I feel a little tired or exhausted, or if simply my eyes are strain a lot, I close my eyes for ten to fifteen minutes and try to think nothing, leaving my mind blank. It relaxes me a lot but I often get distracted easily within ten minutes or so. Distractions are caused by different types of sounds and noises. Sometimes, bodily sensations like itching in the nose, aching of the hands, irritation in the eyes can also cause distractions. What we need to understand is that Meditation is not an escape from reality. Distractions both inside and outside the mind are part of that reality, so simply observe them, without ignoring or reacting to them. During meditation unpredictable intrusions, interfere and affect ones meditation and the sound deliberately shatters ones tranquility. But remember if anyone reacts to any sound, then they were not in a state of tranquility. In tranquil state the mind accepts the sound simply.
