The Bhagavad Gita's Therapeutic Approach to Self-Regulation for Behavioural Health

This essay explores the multifaceted nature of human behaviour, the cognitive and emotional aspects of decision-making, and the relevance of the Bhagavad Gita’s teachings in fostering self-regulation for improved behavioural health.

Human Decision-Making: 

a. Humans are active decision-makers influenced by cognitive processes and emotional responses.

b. The pre-frontal cortex aids in rational decision-making, while the amygdala contributes emotional elements.

c. Contextual and situational factors play a crucial role in shaping behaviour and decision-making pathways.

Bhagavad Gita’s Message: a. The Bhagavad Gita’s verse underscores the impact of behavioural decisions on one’s well-being. b. Metaphorically, being one’s own friend or enemy guides individuals towards self-regulation. c. Unhealthy behaviours, such as smoking and excessive drinking, are self-destructive, making the person their own enemy.
