Mind your Thoughts for Health and Happiness
Mind your thoughts is the result of a long study in stress physiology, body-mind connection and psychology as experienced through my life’s journey. It’s a broad combination of research from these fields towards a culminating book I am working on, titled “Mind your Thoughts for Health and Happiness”.
The premise is that not only diet and exercise but also mental thought processes and happiness levels control our health. Even diet and exercise require thought control. But mental thought processes are part and parcel of daily living, so understanding at a fundamental level what decisions lead to happiness is important. If our lifestyle deviates from that, internal stress builds up.
Are there fundamental laws like in physics that can make our lives easier if we are aware?
That’s my quest, as no one has tried to take a physical laws-based approach to this.
The starting point for me was severe body inflammation in 2021
Getting on medications only led to severe side effects, depression being one, got me on the path of studying this field. My doctor actually got mad that I said that there are side effects to my medication. She said I’m the only patient she had heard of me having these problems.
Then I googled and the first thing was depression as a side effect. That’s when I realized it’s a complex industry and health needs to be managed at the preventive levels and there are no incentives for anyone except you. My physicist instincts eventually kicked in saying, I should be able to condense everything into two to three fundamental laws or law-like observations. This is a significantly different approach as physics teaches us to unify everything into a single theory. So my approach is physics based for social sciences, whichI figured, any contributions go a long way as opposed to one more iPhone feature or sensor that I could be working on otherwise with my background and training.
