This is a good guidance that the poster tried to give to the readers- very appropriate in
todays both office and domestic environment.
I would also like to add few more tips:-
1. Work out should contain more - a mere brisk walking or jogging will not serve the purpose
It should be done; but some sort of endurance exercises should also be carried out
(You can see some film stars - even though they crossed 70 years, are still looking young and
perform their job better than a young guy).
2 Food - it plays a vital role - Try to avoid food which may lead to increase in Cholesterol level,
BP etc. A vegetarian meal/fruits/nuts/vegetable leaves can do good in body and thereby
decrease stress toxin (Try to take "Sathwik" food and try to avoid "Rajasa" food)
3. Prayer - Visit the religious places and worship for 5-10 minutes This is very important as this will ease out stress.
4. Those readers who have little kids at their homes are very lucky. Playing with them infuses fresh energy in us and reduces stress level.
5. Spend time with your best friends - share your thoughts/problems/ and listen to theirs.
7. Listening to music
8. Try to eat food alongwith family members.
9 Try to minimise watching TV/Mobile phones at home instead, talk to your family members (parents, spouse or children)
10. Take a bath before supper. Ensure there should be a break of minimum 2 hours interval
between supper and going to bed.
11. Try to switch-off your electronic gadgets, atleast 1 hour before going to bed.
12. Try to get up early (before Sun-rise) - following the "Brahma muhurtam" is ideal
13. Try to say good-bye to alcohol/cigarettes etc.
These are some points which have come in my mind, while reading the above message.
which I have just mentioned here.
