Healthy & Robust People

Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), this is where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and the importance of our attention, why is that? Now ‘let us remember this again, ‘What we give our Attention to matters,’ as Our life’s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to.

Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour.

This week I bring to your attention an excerpt which we have titled – Healthy & Robust People from the book titled ‘Healthy Pleasures’ by David Sobel and Robert Ornstein.

Playing to the natural strengths of mind and body, Healthy Pleasures explores the many ways to extend our lives as we enrich them, by understanding the crucial role of pleasure in our health.

Using the latest research in medicine, biology, and psychology, the authors — a renowned brain researcher and a leading expert in preventive medicine — propose a new way to manage health, with less effort and more fun. 

Healthy & Robust People

They aren’t necessarily rich or famous. But the way they live and envision their lives nourishes their life itself.

They expect good things of the world. They expect that things will work out well; they expect that their world will be orderly; they expect that other people will like and respect them.

Many robust people seem to maintain a vital sense of humor about life, enjoying a hearty laugh, more often than not at their own expense. Others bring an unbridled enthusiasm to everything they do and everyone they touch. They’re deeply committed to someone or something outside of themselves. They care more for people, pets, political causes, or volunteer organizations than for micromanaging their blood chemistries or fiber intake based upon the latest headlines and health advice. They’re ardent about life itself. And they see themselves as a part of life, rather than apart from life.
