Lifestyle changes may lead to health and happiness
Dr. Roger Walsh recently had a paper published by the American Psychological Association that explains his theories that rely on therapeutic lifestyle changes – or TLC – to attain a healthy mind.
When individuals achieve proper diet and exercise, healthy relationships, adequate relaxation, stress management skills, spiritual growth, a connection with nature and the desire to treat others well, Walsh believes they may be able to prevent mental disorders like depression and anxiety.
"Lifestyle changes can offer significant therapeutic advantages for patients, therapists and societies, yet are insufficiently appreciated, taught or utilized," Walsh said.
Walsh's philosophies support those of Ilchi Lee, who believes that spiritual growth involves refining the connection between the mind, body and spirit.
Physical exercise has been shown to improve cognitive function in children, and may also improve memory in adults as they age. Practicing Dahn Yoga, which integrates the body and the mind, may help individuals achieve an improved physical and mental state.
Walsh also recommends meditation as a way to increase empathy, sensitivity and emotional stability. Ilchi Lee believes that spiritual growth may be accomplished with meditative practices, such as his brain wave vibration techniques.
