Mind Body Spirit

Wellbeing is such an “It” word nowadays. We pay more attention to what we eat and how we move our bodies to keep fit. We understand the significant impact of diet and physical exercise on health. We find ways to prolong youth and extend longevity. Ultimately, it all comes down to being happy and enjoying life to the fullest. Achieving wellbeing is important not just biologically but mentally and emotionally as well.

The mind, body and spirit alignment represent a state of holistic wellbeing. If any of the three elements is not in harmony, the music would go out of tune as in a symphony orchestra. As each part has its own role to play, we must ensure the same effort and equal resources are being allocated to upkeep our cognitive, physiological, and psychological functions altogether .

Regardless of the interdependency of the three areas in wellbeing, the mind seems to have a profound effect on the overall health. As more scientific research on the brain and its cognitive functions are being carried out in recent decades, the notion of “what you think you become” has been widely accepted. The power of the mind is yet to be fully uncovered and should not be underestimated. One thing for sure is that by tapping into our brain plasticity, we could keep on changing and improving our human intelligence without limits.

What we think we become is not merely a slogan but a proactive approach which could be put into practice by anyone, at any time and anywhere. For example, the way our bodies react when we feel nervous or excited is identical. Our hearts beat faster, blood pressure increases, and breathing becomes rapid. If we could switch our thinking from nervousness to excitement at that moment, we would feel empowered to handle the situation. This subtle change in mindset alone has a remarkable impact on our psychological wellbeing.

A positive mindset is fundamental for a good life because our thoughts dictate our behaviours; repeated behaviours become habits; habits influence our character; and our personality determines how we face challenges which eventually shapes our destiny. Our thinking pattern is hard-wired to good and bad experiences. It’s important to reflect regularly so that we could retrain the brain to think in an optimistic way.

Besides positive thinking, meditation is another effective practice for mental and emotional health which promotes the overall wellbeing. When meditation is combined with professional coaching, uplifting the mind-body-spirit connection becomes easier. Come talk to us at HIbodhi only if you want the best for yourself.

如今，幸福已成為了一個「It」字。 我們比以前更加關注吃什麼以及如何鍛鍊身體以保持健康狀態。 我們了解飲食和體能活動對健康的重大影響，尋找拖延青春及延長壽命的方法。 最終，這一切都是為了活出快樂的人生及盡情享受生活。 實現健康再不僅是生理上的需要，在精神和情緒上亦依然重要。

思想、身體和心態的協調代表了一種整體健康的狀態。 如果這三個領域中有任何一處不和諧，就好像交響樂團一樣：演出走音。 由於每個部分都有自己的作用，我們必須確保分配相同的努力和平等的資源來維持整體的認知、生理和心理功能。

儘管這三個領域在健康方面相互依賴，思維似乎對整體健康有著深遠的影響。 近幾十年來，隨著更多有關於大腦及其認知功能的科學研究不斷進行，「你會成為你能想到的」這概念已被廣泛接受。 雖然人類思想的潛能尚未完全揭發，但也不應低估它的力量。 可以肯定的是，根據大腦的可塑性，人類智力是可以無限地不斷改變和提升。

「我們會成為我們能想到的」不僅僅是一個口號，而是任何人、在任何時間及任何地點都可以積極地付諸實行。 例如，當我們感到緊張或興奮時，身體會展現相同的的反應：心跳加快，血壓升高和呼吸變得急促。 如果能在那一刻將自己的思維從緊張轉變為興奮，我們就會感到有能力處理當下的情況。 光是這種心態上的微妙變化就能對心理健康產生顯著影響。

積極的心態是美好生活的基礎，因為思想決定我們的行爲； 重複的行爲會成為習慣； 習慣影響我們的性格； 性格又能影響我們如何面對挑戰，最終塑造了我們的命運。 人類思考的模式會受到好與壞的經歷而互相影響。 定期反思的重要性就是為了訓練大腦以樂觀的方式去改變曾經出現的負面思考。

除了正面思想之外，靜觀冥想都能有效地改善心理和情緒狀態，及促進全面健康發展。 當靜觀冥想與專業教練結合時，提升身心與精神的聯繫變得更加容易。 如果您想為自己爭取最好的，請來 HIbodhi 與我們交談。
