Taking good care of your body and your mind is indispensable if you are going to achieve a nagomi of health. No single factor is enough to support us through the complexity of life. Exercise and rest, work and play, challenge and comfort, and success and failure all lead to a balanced and harmonious life. In the way we approach our health, we tend to focus on one element rather than the more complex whole; perhaps we should avoid oversimplifying the explanations for good health. Statements such as: “I go for a run every day and that’s why I stay so healthy,” “I eat a yogurt in the morning and that keeps me young,” and “I smile whenever I meet someone, and that makes me happy” might sound reasonable enough but are likely to be misrepresentations of what is actually happening in terms of the nagomi of health. These may be good habits, but nagomi encompasses a whole spectrum of elements that contribute to our well-being.

You don’t have to train as a Buddhist monk, but you can eat mindfully, be aware of how full you’re getting, be thankful for the food you have received, and take advantage of fresh, seasonal, flavorful, and nutritious food. Trying to keep your room clean and neat can be a great exercise of nagomi, because it requires your full spectrum of attention and execution in a good balance. Spending time outdoors and really appreciating—

bathing in—the atmosphere is important, whether you are actually forest bathing or appreciating the atmosphere of whichever place you choose.

By practicing all of these together and being mindful of the fact that there is no single silver bullet that will serve as the answer, you are well on your way to achieving the nagomi of health.
