A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body
”Mens sana in corpore sano”
– this quote has become not
only a personal way of think-
ing when we are looking for
the necessary motivation to
work at maximum capacity,
but also a way of giving ad-
vice to the ones around us
when they need a boost of
positive thinking.
It has a simple but profound
meaning. For a healthy mind
and body, we all know for
sure that we have to be both
physically
and
mentally
healthy, but….a lot of us
tend to ignore this mantra

lems in an almost inexistent
period of time.
But we forget that in order to
achieve our goals we have
to stay healthy both mentally
and physically. We always
look for psychical peace and
equilibrium in order to coun-
terattack the daily stress, but
we do not realize that if we
neglect our body we cannot
nourish or mind.
We can all follow some sim-
ple steps towards a healthy
mind, a health body thus
leading a healthy life style.
Some of these steps are: eat

takes and move on. Try to
keep a balance between the
personal life and the profes-
sional one and treat them as
two different worlds. If the
personal problems affect your
professional life and vice-
versa, this will for sure lead to
even more stress, anxiety
and frustration. Make time for
your hobbies. They have
therapeutic effects, bringing
mental balance by reducing
stress.
Our busy lives haven’t left us
with too many alternatives
but multitasking. We all try to
do so many things in such a
small amount of time and our
lives have become hectic
which leads to gaps in main-
taining a healthy life style. As
a result, our physical and
mental health have to suffer
and we do not feel capable of
following our dreams and ac-
complishing our daily tasks.
In all this bustle and hustle,
we must not forget that our
health is one of our biggest
wealth. So, eat regularly,
sleep enough, take exercis-
es, take breaks to relax, fol-
low your hobbies, balance
yourself and go towards a
healthy life style and a health
