Lesson – 3 HEALTHY LIFE STYLE & PROGRESSIVE THINKING

Objectives 1. A healthy lifestyle is the foundation of a healthy society.

2. A healthy body has a meaningful mindset.

3. Balancing the conscious and subconscious mind in terms of power of thinking as an important state of mind.

Only a healthy person can create a good society. One can contribute in his own and in his country's progress only by keeping one's body healthy. Adequate nutritious food, daily exercise and adequate sleep are the basis of a healthy life. A healthy lifestyle keeps a person healthy and energetic. A healthy life is a great way to live a good life and that helps a person to enjoy all the other aspects of his life. In fact, the meaning of good health is not only to prevent any disease, but it is also related to physical, mental and social well-being. A person who adopts a healthy lifestyle plays a positive role towards the society and towards others as well. To live a long and comfortable life, it is important to have a healthy lifestyle.

Another important aspect of a healthy lifestyle is a good power of thinking. Man is a mixture of strengths and weaknesses. Both these aspects leave their mark on the state of mind of a human being from time to time. It is considered that only a person who overcomes his natural shortcomings by virtue of his strengths can possess good thinking ability. The instinctive balance of the conscious and subconscious mind of a human being is also an indicator of a good power of thinking.
