[Self-Help Poem] Health is Not a Coin Toss

Mind and body are
like the heads and tails of a coin

For example,
try tossing a coin up in the air

If it's heads, your body feels good today
but your mind feels gloomy

Conversely, if it's tails, your mind feels good today
but your body feels heavy

That's not right
Health is
a different story from a coin toss

Embrace the spirit and the soul, and you will not be able to separate them. Concentrate your energy and achieve softness, and you will be able to be like an infant. (Chapter 10 of the Tao Te Ching)

First, it is important to maintain physical health. Otherwise, mental health will be disturbed. However, if the mind is not healthy either, it will have a bad influence on the body.
View the body and mind as one and balance them. That is the foundation of health.

Citation: Super-translation of Laozi's words: The secret to living 'calmly' and 'resiliently' (Chiteki Ikikata Bunko Ta 66-2) / Publisher: Mikasa Shobo / Author: Yoshifumi Taguchi

Both are necessary
Both are perfect
Both are refreshing

It's not heads or tails

If you are feeling low
the best therapy
is to be healthy in both
