• Try to keep a smiling face as it has been seen to heal from within. Even when you fake a smile consciously, it relaxes your entire mind mechanism.

• Develop a habit of eating fresh food. Always eat little less than being completely full. Try and avoid excessive spicy and oily preparations. The kind of energy that is generated by the food you eat has vast effect on the quality of thoughts that your mind processes. Spiritual wellness is highly interlined with your food habits and consumption of quality food.

• Maintain a routine of early sleeping and early rising as the age-old saying goes “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, spiritually well and wise.”

• Contemplate on your reality, yourself as a cosmic part and on your connection with the universal self. Read something beautiful either from your religious scriptures or from any book written by noble men for at least 10 minutes in the morning.

• Introspect everyday all your deeds throughout the entire day as you wind up your activities at night. Weigh it in the backdrop of righteous and virtuous living.

• Connect yourself with nature by spending some time everyday in natural surroundings.

• A very quick and effective method of de-stressing yourself is sitting in silence with your eyes closed for two minutes. If you practice this everyday for 20 minutes, it’ll surely help you to achieve a composed personality.

• Give a second thought before reacting to any situation. You can do this by taking a pause before you react. You will see a lot of difference in the outcome.

• Choose your company carefully and consciously. Acquaintances who give noble thoughts and awareness can help to develop our spiritual wellness, which will increase our qualities of patience, tolerance, assurance and perseverance.

Why is it that some people become non-vegetarian while others remain vegetarian?

One line is not sufficient to answer this question. It needs space for its explanation. There is not one reason but several reasons behind it.

Henceforth, I am mentioning the reasons, which are responsible for making of vegetarians. They are as follows:

• First and the foremost reason is that vegetarians do not dehumanize the animals. They think that animals are like us who need love and affection. Although, they might become aggressive and dehumanize animals, the period is very short for which they show aggression.
• It also depends on the religious beliefs of the person. For example, Hinduism and Jainism forbid meat consumption.

• The surroundings in which they grow up also affect them. It is because if they grow in a vegetarian environment they will have a lesser tendency to become non-vegetarian.
• It also depends on the open mindedness of person. It is important because more open a person is to the different food habits more chances are there that he/she will alter his/her food habits.
• They are generally non-violent in nature.
• They generally love nature. They believe in preserving the biodiversity.
• It depends on the scientific approach of the person. It is because many scientific papers and articles claims that vegetarian diet is good.
• Health consciousness of the person also determines the food habit it takes. For example, to loose weight quickly a person might become vegetarian.
• It also depends on physical condition of the person. For example, a person with the danger of heart attack advised to avoid meat.
• Finally, they are sensitive to blood.

So, above mentioned are the main reasons why a person can become vegetarian. However, for the person to remain vegetarian forever, he/she has to stop dehumanizing animals. Otherwise, somewhere down the line a person will become non-vegetarian.

Becoming vegetarian has many advantages, which I have mentioned in many of my previous articles. These articles are as follows:
