Programme to Ensure Self-Regulation and Health

“Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” — Abraham Lincoln

Good health doesn’t come from medicine alone—it’s a reflection of how well the Self cares for the Body. The Self’s responsibility is to nurture, protect, and rightly use the Body.

1. Nurturing the Body

• Intake: Eat nutritious food, drink clean water, breathe fresh air, and get sunlight.

• Routine: Follow a consistent schedule—sleep, hygiene, meals, and exercise.

2. Movement and Exercise

• Physical Labour: Engage in active work; it keeps the body alive and alert.

• Exercise: When natural activity is limited, replace it with structured workouts or yoga.

3. Internal Harmony

• Coordination: Keep your posture and movements balanced.

• Breathing: Practice calm, rhythmic breathing—it refreshes both Self and Body.

4. Medicine and Treatment

• Medicine: Assist the body’s recovery naturally when ill.

• Treatment: Seek medical help when self-care isn’t enough—wisdom is not neglect.
