Achieving Optimum Health

Written by Dr Tim Ong


Continued from page 1

On a physical level, our body can be kept healthy through adequate sleep and rest, proper nutrition, regular exercises and a healthy environment that is free from pollution.

Spiritual Health

Throughoutrepparttar ages, wise men have consistently informed and taught us that we are essentially spiritual beings.

Although medical science has not been able to reveal to us our spiritual nature, there are many indirect evidence that we would be foolish to ignore. Stories from people who had gone through a near death experience (NDE), or dying people with heightened nearing death awareness, or simply a cure from an 'incurable' disease all suggest that there is more to life than justrepparttar 115496 physical state.

Major religions ofrepparttar 115497 world all based their teachings onrepparttar 115498 belief that we are essentially spiritual beings. According to these teachings, our physical existence is secondary.

While it may be true that we should focus our life more on our spiritual nature than our physical nature, it would be difficult forrepparttar 115499 majority of people to do so, at least not immediately. Things cannot change overnight. Mindset, however, can, and that is perhapsrepparttar 115500 best place to start.

Financial Health

However, on a more mundane level, most people are still stuck on how to survive from day to day, where to getrepparttar 115501 next cheque to pay forrepparttar 115502 house installment, so on and so forth.

Practically, therefore, we need to look into ways to achieve a financial state that would theoretically free us fromrepparttar 115503 constrain of 'forced' work. This is whererepparttar 115504 concept of financial freedom is so attractive. According to this concept, one should strive for a state where we have one or more than one source of income that can be generated passively, that is, even when we don't work.

This is what Robert Kiyosaki termed as 'passive income'.

According to him, passive income can only be achieved by becoming an investor or a business owner, not a sole proprietor or an employee. To become an investor or a business owner, you must spendrepparttar 115505 time and money to acquire financial intelligence. Unlike IQ or EQ, you can acquire financial intelligence through self education.

To get a financial health check-up, consult an accountant, a banker or a financial planner you can trust.

Healthy Relationship

"No man is an island, entire by itself."

As a medical doctor, I am in a unique position to confront and comfort dying patients. One ofrepparttar 115506 most important thing that I have observed is that dying people do not ask about their money or possessions. Instead, they focus their remaining energy and strength on trying to heal wounded relationships. It is as though there is an inherent need to get a proper closure to a relationship.

Thus, forming and cultivating a healthy relationship is important for our well-being. Unfortunately, this is something we often ignored until it is too late. If there is any forgiving to be done, orrepparttar 115507 need to be forgiven, leaving things torepparttar 115508 last minutes may end up with an unfulfilled desire for a closure.

Knowing this now, shouldn't we spend more time and effort in improving our relationship with our loved ones, especially with our parents, spouse, children and siblings?
