مرد کا المیہ یہ ہے کہ وہ اکثر اپنے سے زیادہ ذہین عورت سے محبت تو کر لیتا ہے، اس کے عشق میں فنا بھی ہو جاتا ہے، لیکن شادی کے رشتے میں اس کے ساتھ نباہ نہیں کر پاتا۔ اس کی ایک بڑی وجہ یہ ہے کہ ذہین عورت کبھی اُن چھوٹی چھوٹی باتوں پر خوش نہیں ہوتی جن پر عام عورتیں خوش ہو جاتی ہیں۔ وہ اپنا آپ منوانا چاہتی ہے، اپنی شناخت اور مقام چاہتی ہے۔

درد کو محسوس کرتے رہنا دراصل اس بات کا ثبوت ہے کہ ہم زندہ ہیں۔ جب ہم کندھے اچکا کر یہ کہہ دیں کہ "مجھے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا"، تو سمجھ لیں کہ دل اندر سے مردہ ہو چکا ہے۔

دو بہت ذہین لوگ اکثر ایک دوسرے کے اچھے شریکِ حیات نہیں بن پاتے۔ لیکن اگر آپ کا پارٹنر آپ سے مختلف ہے تو سمجھوتے اور برداشت کے ساتھ زندگی خوبصورت طریقے سے گزاری جا سکتی ہے۔ عورت کا ناسمجھی میں جھک جانا، درگزر کرنا اور غلطی پر بھی رشتے کو بچانے کی کوشش کرنا اکثر کامیاب شادی کی ضمانت بنتا ہے۔ لیکن ذہانت انسان کو نہ تو غلط بات ماننے دیتی ہے اور نہ ہی آسانی سے جھکنے دیتی ہے، یہی رشتے میں کشمکش پیدا کرتی ہے۔

محبت کا اصل فلسفہ یہ ہے کہ اگر محبوب کے علاوہ بھی کسی اور کی ضرورت محسوس ہو تو وہ محبت نہیں بلکہ وہم ہے۔ سچا عاشق اپنے محبوب کے عیب ایسے ہی درگزر کرتا ہے جیسے رب اپنے بندوں کے عیب ڈھانپ لیتا ہے۔ چاہے محبوب حسین ہو یا نہ ہو، بے عیب ہو یا عیب دار وہ محبوب ہے اور بس، اور محبت میں یہی سب کچھ کافی ہے۔

Signs You’re a Good-Looking Older Woman (Even If You Don’t Think So)”:

Confidence
How you carry yourself matters posture, stride, meeting eyes. Confidence becomes more magnetic with time.

Smile
A genuine smile lights up your face and connects you with others. The so-called “laugh lines” are signs of a life of joy and expression.

Eyes
The eyes reflect your experience, emotion, and depth. They tell your story without words.

Hair
Your hair (style, texture, color) is a statement. Whether you keep natural grey, color it, shorten it, or style it owning that look adds to your beauty.

Style / Dressing
By older age, many women learn what flatters them. Style becomes more about expressing who you are, rather than chasing trends.

Warmth / Kindness
Your demeanor, friendly, kind, warm leaves an impact. This inner beauty is powerful and memorable.

Acceptance of aging / Imperfections
Lines, spots, abd and texture, these are marks of living, not flaws to erase. Embracing them shows authenticity.

Aura / Magnetism
There’s an energy or presence people sense drawn to someone real, grounded, with substance.

Ease with compliments
Rather than deflecting praise (e.g. “oh this old thing”), accepting them graciously shows self-worth.

Sense of humor / Joy
Being able to laugh, especially at yourself, is attractive. It shows you’re light, relaxed, not weighed down.

Authenticity / Comfort with self
With age often comes less concern about others’ opinions and more alignment with your true self that confidence is beautiful.

Inspiring others / Impact
Your presence, what you give (kindness, support, positivity) often uplifts others. That effect is a sign of inner beauty.

Lifestyle Medicine Meets Energy Psychology: A New Horizon in Healing

Dr Shazia Shahzadi

Introduction: Health care is changing. Instead of waiting for illness to strike, more people are turning toward prevention and wellness. Two fields leading this shift are Lifestyle Medicine (LSM) and Energy Psychology (EP). At first glance, they come from different worlds. LSM is grounded in evidence-based health behaviors, while EP works with the body’s energy systems to release stress and trauma. But when combined, they create a powerful synergy: a pathway to lasting physical and emotional well-being.

Lifestyle Medicine: Building the Ground for Change

Lifestyle Medicine is championed by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM). Its six pillars are simple but transformative:

1. Nutrition: whole-food, plant-rich diets that fuel the body and brain.

2. Movement: regular activity to build strength, resilience, and good mood.

3. Sleep: quality rest to repair, recharge, and restore clarity.

4. Stress Management: mindfulness, breathing, and relaxation to calm the nervous system.

5. Relationships: healthy social bonds that support happiness and longevity.

6. Substance Avoidance: reducing alcohol, ni****ne, and other harmful habits.

Research shows these pillars don’t just prevent chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease they also improve mental health, lowering anxiety, depression, and stress.

Energy Psychology: Unlocking the Mind–Body Connection

Energy Psychology bridges Eastern wisdom (meridians) with Western psychology. The most widely studied method, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), uses gentle tapping on acupressure points while focusing on distressing emotions.

What makes EFT special?

It reduces cortisol (the stress hormone).

It quickly lowers anxiety and phobia intensity.

It clears stored trauma from the body.

Clients often feel lighter, calmer, and more open to change.

Unlike talk therapy alone, EFT works directly with the body’s stress response making transformation faster and deeper.

Where Lifestyle Medicine and Energy Psychology Converge

1. Healthy Foundation: Good food and restorative sleep prepare the brain and body for emotional healing.

2. Breaking the Body–Mind Loop: LSM reduces physical stressors, while EFT clears the emotional roots of fear, avoidance, or trauma.

3. Boosting Receptivity: A well-rested, nourished person responds better to tapping and other energy methods.

4. Empowering Adherence: EFT dissolves resistance, fear of failure, and procrastination, making lifestyle changes easier to stick with.

Real-World Impact

Rehabilitation: Patients recovering from stroke or surgery benefit when lifestyle pillars support healing and EFT reduces anxiety or depression.

Mental Health: Anxiety, PTSD, depression, and phobias improve when lifestyle changes are paired with tapping.

Workplace Wellness: LSM boosts resilience, while EFT reduces stress and enhances focus.

Prevention: Together, they reduce chronic disease risks while tackling emotional resilience and mental health stigma.

Final Thoughts

Lifestyle Medicine strengthens the body. Energy Psychology liberates the mind. Together, they form a new horizon in healing one that doesn’t just treat illness but builds resilience, balance, and long-lasting wellness.

✨ It’s not just about surviving, it’s about thriving
