Milind Soman speaks about fitness
Milind Soman spoke about how mind and body are different yet similar in a few ways. In his Instagram post, he wrote that ‘We have always known the mind is powerful, but very few have really tested it. Due to a lack of focus and discipline, it still remains our weakest link, when it comes to living life to the full. It is only with a fit, healthy and positive mind, free of the negative impact of fear, insecurity, confusion and self-doubt, that you can begin to achieve your true potential.'
While mentioning about physical fitness Milind Soman wrote, ‘The body on the other hand, as long as we take good care of it, is capable of incredible things, without any conscious thought. Blood circulation, hormonal balance, levels of salts and minerals, temperature, all are maintained by the body effortlessly. It is capable of creating new life. Fitness must start in the mind, with the development of awareness, discipline, understanding and will power. With respect for the self and the body.’ he further added, ‘When the mind and body are able to work together, without conflict, we are capable of genius in every aspect of our lives.’
