'लाफ्टर इज द बैस्ट मेडिसन' यह तो आपने सुना ही होगा। तो आइये आपको बता दें कि हंसने से आपको कितने फायदे होते हैं, ताकी आप थोड़ा और खुल कर हंस सकें।

'लाफ्टर इज द बैस्ट मेडिसन'

जब एक छोटी सी मुस्कराहट आपकी फोटो में चार चांद लगा देती है, तो जरा सोचिए कि खुल कर हंसने से आपको कितने फायदे होते होंगे। वो कहते हैं ना, 'लाफ्टर इज द बैस्ट मेडिसन'। ये बात सोलह आने सच है कि हंसी लाख मर्जों की एक दवा होती है। हंसने से न सिर्फ हमारा सेहत, बल्कि सूरत भी बेहतर होते हैं। लाफ्टर हमारे शरीर की मांसपेशियों, आंखों, जबड़े और हृदय की मांसपेशियोंको आराम देता है। लेकिन फिर भी न जाने हम जिंदगी की आपाधापी में हंसना क्यों भूल जाते हैं। तो आइये आपको बता दें कि हंसने से आपको कितने फायदे होते हैं, ताकी आप थोड़ा और खुल कर हंस सकें।

रक्त संचार को बनाए बेहतर

युनिवर्सिटी ऑफ मेरीलैंड के एक शोध के अनुसार हंसने का संबंध शरीर के रक्त संचार से है। इस अध्ययन में प्रतिभागियों को दो समूहों में रखा गया था। पहले समूह को कॉमेडी कार्यक्रम दिखाया गया और दूसरे को ड्रामा। शोध में पाया गया कि कॉमेडी कार्यक्रम देखकर जो प्रतिभागी खुलकर हंस रहे थे उनका रक्त संचार अन्य प्रतिभागियों की तुलना में काफी बेहतर था।

तनाव हो जाए उड़न-छू

हंसी में तनाव, दर्द और झगड़े आदि को खत्म करने की कमाल की शक्ति होती है। आपके दिमाग और शरीर पर प्रभावी रूप से जो काम हंसी कर सकती है, वह दुनिया की कोई दवा नहीं कर सकती। विशेषज्ञ बताते हैं कि हंसना इसलिए भी जरूरी है, क्योंकि इससे आप ज्यादा सामाजिक बनते हैं और लोगों के साथ बेहतर सरीके से जुड़े रहने पर आपको तनाव या अवसाद जैसी समस्या कम होती हैं। साछ ही खुलकर हंसने से सारा तनाव बाहर निकल जाता है और आप बिल्कुल तनावमुक्त रहते हैं। ऐसे में तनाम से होने वाली मानसिक व शारीरिक समस्याओं से बचाव होता है।

प्रतिरक्षातंत्र को करे मजबूत

एक रिसर्च के मुताबिक ऑक्सीजन की उपस्थिती में कैंसर वाली कोशिकाएं और कई अन्य प्रकार के हानिकारक बैक्टीरिया एवं वायरस नष्ट हो जाते हैं। और हमें हंसने से ऑक्सीजन अधिक मात्रा में मिलती है और इससे शरीर का प्रतिरक्षातंत्र मजबूत होता है। यही नहीं लॉयड नामक पत्रिका में प्रकाशित एक शोध के अनुसार हंसने के दौरान हम गहरी सांस लेने और छोड़ने की एक्सरसाइज करते हैं, जिससे शरीर में ऑक्सीजन का संचार बेहतर तरीके से होता है। और इसकी वजह से हम लंबे समय तक तरोताजा व ऊर्जावान रह सकते हैं।

दर्द में दिलाए आराम

अनेक शोधों में पाया गया कि स्पोंडलाइटिस या कमर दर्द आदि पीड़ादायक समस्याओं में आराम के लिए हंसना एक प्रभावी विकल्प होता है। डॉक्टर लाफिंग थेरेपी की मदद से इन रोगों में रोगियों को आराम पहुंचाने का प्रयास भी करते हैं। यही नहीं, 10 मिनट तक ठहाके लगाकर हंसने से आपको दो घंटे तक दर्द से राहत मिल सकती है, और इससे चेन की नींद भी आती है।

हंस कर पाएं सकारात्मक ऊर्जा

हंसी मजाक से आप अपने दिल व दिमाग के बोझ को तो कम कर पाते ही हैं, साथ ही खुश रहने से आपके अंदर सकारात्मक ऊर्जा का संचार भी होता है। सकारात्मक रह कर आप जो काम करते हैं, उस पर बेहतर से फोकस कर पाते हैं। हंसने से आपकी बॉडी रिलेक्स होती है। कुछ देर खुलकर हंसने से मांसपेशियां कम से कम 45 मिनट तक रिलेक्स हो जाती हैं। इसके अलावा हंसनेसे आपकी रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता भी बढ़ती है। कहते हैं कि एक सकारात्मक व्यक्ति अपने इर्द-गिर्द भी खुशी और आंदद फैलाता है। तो खूब हंसिये और इर्द-गिर्द भी खुशियों फैलाइये।

दिल को बनाए मजबूत

हंसने से हृदय की एक्सरसाइज भी हो जाती है। रक्त का संचार बेहतर होता है। हंसने पर शरीर से एंडोर्फिन नामक रसायन निकलता है, जोकि ह्रदय को मजबूत बनाता है। कुछ शोध बताते हैं कि हंसने से हार्ट-अटैक की संभावना कम हो जाती है।

रोगों से बचाए

यदि सुबह के समय हास्य ध्यान योग किया जाए तो दिन भर प्रसन्नता और स्फूर्ती बनी रहती है। वहीं रात में ये योग किया जाये तो नींद अच्छी आती है। हास्य योग से हमारे शरीर में कुछ हारमोंस का स्राव होता है, जिससे मधुमेह, पीठ-दर्द एवं तनाव से पीड़ित व्यक्तियों को फायदा होता है।

खूबसूरती की हंसी

जैसा की हम बात कर चुके हैं कि हंसने से टेंशन और डिप्रेशन कम होता है और शरीर की रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता में बढ़ोतरी होती है। यही नहीं जोरदार हंसी कसरत का भी काम करती है। हंसने से चेहरे की मांसपेशियों की एक्सरसाइज होती है जिससे चेहरे पर जल्दी झुर्रियां नहीं पड़तीं। इसी लिए इसे नेचरल कॉस्मेटिक भी कह सकते हैं क्योंकि इससे चेहरा खूबसूरत बनता है। विशेषज्ञ बताते हैं कि जो लोग अधिक हंसते हैं वे लंबे समय तक युवा दिखते हैं।

फिटनेस बढ़ाए

खुश रहने से आप ज्यादा फिट और हैल्दी रहते हैं। ऐ सा देखा गया है कि जो लोग जिंदगी को खुलकर जीते हैं, वे बुढ़ापे में तेजी से चलते हैं और ज्यादा सक्रीय रह पाते हैं। साथ ही खुश रहने वाले बुजुर्ग लोगों को बिस्तर से उठने में, कपड़े पहनने में या नहाने आदि रोजमर्रा के कामों में कोई दिक्कत नहीं होती। रोज एक घंटा हँसने से 400 कैलोरी ऊर्जा की खपत होती है, जिससे मोटापा भी काबू में रहता है। आज कल कई हास्य क्लब भी तनाव भरी जिंदगी को हंसी के माध्यम से दूर करने का काम कर रहे हैं।

The Cockroach Theory for Self Development

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.

She started screaming out of fear.

With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.

Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but… it landed on another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?

If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it’s my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

7 Secrets to Becoming Wealthy and Rich

We all wish we could be wealthy. For most of us, it's a far-off dream that someday, eventually, we might be able to turn ourselves into self-made millionaires. But the truth is, building wealth isn't about putting all your hopes into "someday." You're never too old to start building wealth, but if you start when you're young, you have far greater potential to amass a fortune--and more time to let that fortune compound itself as you grow older.

That being said, life in your 20s and 30s is not without its challenges; you might have student debt, a tenuous career, and dozens of unknowns that keep you from doing everything you'd like to build your wealth faster. There's no straightforward way to guarantee yourself a rich future, but these seven strategies can help you do it while you're still young.

1. Stop procrastinating.

The folly of youth is believing that there's always enough time for everything. Youngsters often believe that retirement, or wealth building, is something that comes later in life, and are more preoccupied with the concerns of the now. Unfortunately, this often leads to a cycle of "Oh, I should do that next month," month after month, until before you know it, you're 10 years older and you've missed out on a decade's worth of compounding interest. The first step is to stop procrastinating; saving and investing is scary, but the longer you wait to do it, the fewer advantages you have.

2. Know that there is no magic.

My use of the word "secrets" in the title of this article might have brought you here hoping for a guaranteed, almost magical solution to make you wealthy. There isn't one. The fundamental objectives are simple: Make more than you spend, and use the excess to invest wisely. How you invest is up to you (with a few caveats below), but the obvious goal is to make investments that have a high likelihood of making you more money in the future. That's it. The ways to achieve this are by making more money, spending less, and investing more wisely.

3. Invest in yourself.

Your next goal should be to invest in yourself; you are the best resource you have to accumulate wealth. Investing in yourself means spending more time on your education, refining your own skill sets, and branching out to meet new people who might help you achieve your goals. The more educated, skilled, experienced, and connected you are, the more valuable opportunities you're going to get, which means higher salaries and more options for you down the road, both of which will help you build a stronger financial foundation.

4. Create a budget.

Remember the steps from point 2: Make more money, spend less, and invest wisely. Point 3 covered making more money, and this one covers spending less. Make a detailed budget for yourself based on your projected income and your current expenses. Set firm limits for your expenses, and keep a close eye on where most of your money goes--you might be surprised at some of the areas where you waste the most money. Once identified, you can start refining your budget to spend as little as possible, and funnel the rest into a savings or investment program.

5. Pay down your debt.

Before you start regularly saving and investing money, it's usually a good idea to pay down any debts you may have accumulated. Credit card debt, student debt, and even car loans can carry heavy interest rates that drag you down, demanding monthly installments that chip away at your revenue while racking up additional interest and penalties that take away even more money from your future self. Don't let this eat away at your potential; make it a first-line priority to get rid of your debt as soon as possible.

6. Take risks.

You're young. You have a lot of years ahead of you. Now is the time to take risks. Invest in higher-risk, higher-payoff stock opportunities. Consider quitting your job to start your own business. Jump on new ventures and new opportunities. If things go south, you'll have plenty of time to make up for it. Most wealthy individuals will tell you one of their greatest keys to success has been taking calculated risks. The majority of the population sticks with the safe route, so if you want to break away from the pack, you have to try something new, possibly something uncomfortable.

7. Diversify.

Even though risk-taking is a generally rewarding strategy in your 20s and 30s, it's also a good idea to diversify your efforts. Don't build up just one skill set, or one set of professional connections. Don't rely on one type of investment, and don't gamble all your savings on one venture. Instead, try to set up multiple income streams, generate several backup plans for your goals and businesses, and hedge your bets by looking for new opportunities everywhere. This will protect you from catastrophic losses, and increase your chances of striking it big in one of your ventures.

By applying these seven secrets in full swing, you'll be able to start accumulating wealth no matter where you are in life. Yes, the first steps are hard--paying down your debt, establishing your credentials, building an investment portfolio, etc.--but if you do it early and do it right, you'll set yourself up for massive financial success later on.

The important things in life

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”

“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”

“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
