International Mind-Body Wellness Day

A person’s physical condition largely depends on the harmony and balance of the inner world. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates believed that patients could be prevented from getting sick by changing their habits and lifestyle. “Mens sana in corpore sano,” declared Decimus Junius Juvenal. This catchphrase, which is translated from Latin as “A healthy mind in a healthy body!”, was used in the USSR to promote a healthy lifestyle among Soviet citizens. In the 20th century scientists have concluded that many pathologies arise due to malfunctions of the central nervous system and psychological problems. Therefore, the saying “All diseases come from nerves” has become very popular. American psychologist Louise Hay found evidence of the psychosomatic nature of most ailments. For good health, the physical state of the body and the inner world of a person must be in harmony. In order to popularize this vital attitude, January 3 is celebrated as International Day for Healthy Mind and Body. International Mind-Body Wellness Day traditions include the use of various practices aimed at improving well-being through meditation, yoga and breathing exercises. All of them help reduce stress levels and mental tension, and achieve physical relaxation through relaxation. Human health is based on the inextricable connection between body and soul, the influence of positive attitudes on the condition and functioning of the body. Therefore, optimists have stronger immunity, get sick less and live an order of magnitude longer than pessimists. The way you think affects your health and even your destiny. Achieving your goals depends on psychological attitudes and self-confidence. But no matter how grandiose the plans are, they are often not destined to come true if a person does not take good care of his health. International Mind-Body Wellness Day encourages you to pay attention to your physical and mental state not only on January 3, but to make this a rule throughout your life. The French writer Romain Roland argued that health is as contagious as disease. A person who has achieved inner harmony, plays sports and eats right becomes a guide for those who are just planning to start taking care of their well-being. A good example is contagious. Show others your excellent health, mental balance, strength of spirit and clarity of mind! Let as many people as possible join the holiday held annually on January 3rd. Become a promoter of healthy lifestyle and a role model in honor of the International Day of Healthy Mind and Body.
