How Mind Style Can Affect Your Lifestyle

By Pradip Jamnadas, MD

The true essence of the change that occurs when one changes their mind comes from a change that first takes place in their spirit. When you learn that your perception of how something is said determines your reaction, you will have an easier way of life. When you get into the detail of the content of what is said, you will become opinionated and judgmental. When someone speaks to you try to take into account the day they have had thus far. Listen to the context or their delivery of the message not the content of the message. Something very hurtful can be said with love and something very kind can be tainted with sarcasm.

I suggest meditation on a daily basis. When you spend quiet time with God you are better able to separate your spiritual man, who is able to decipher truth, from your conscious man who is influenced by environmental circumstances. Yoga is another way of adjusting your mind style. Yoga means union of the mind and spirit. Yoga is a life philosophy about mind style that you need for mind strength, physical strength as well as flexibility. Yoga helps you understand who you are rather than simply, what you do as a vocation. We get lost in our temporary identification. During the day I temporarily identify myself as a doctor. At night I temporarily identify myself as a husband and father. On the weekends I identify myself as a son and so forth.

Yoga gets you into a place where every possibility can occur. You need to have this opportunity by yourself everyday. Silence in the mind gives you access to another aspect of you. Yoga tells you the difference between seeing the water and going and drinking it. Yoga teaches you forgiveness. Everything comes from that deep well of silence. When one realizes this, they now have true freedom. This freedom allows you to change your mind about how you allow things to affect you. You will now become a more forgiving person. You will not be locked into one way of thinking. You will now have the freedom to choose how you want to feel at any moment. That mean and irritable person I was yesterday is no longer who I am today.

Relax. Exhale and take a deep breath of all the potential that surrounds you, waiting to embrace you.
