Bringing Mind, Body & Soul Into Balance
July 28, 2007
Are you suffering from overwhelm and feeling out of balance? In this era that we live in, there is no time to slow down. We are consumed with work and when we aren’t working at our jobs, there are always chores and errands to be done. How in the world can we achieve balance in this crazy life?
Let’s look at balancing your mind, body and soul so that you can lead a more holistically balanced life. When we live from this state of wholeness, we live from our purpose, learn to access our personal power, and create and achieve goals that are in alignment with who we are. From that place, we will feel at peace with our complete being.
Right now, what part of your being are you hanging out to dry? Are you using your mind too much and not taking enough time to nurture and develop your body and soul, for example? Choose three things that you can do to nurture your mind, body and soul this week (one thing you can do for your mind, one for your body and one for your soul). Take baby steps. Too often, when we do strive to balance out our life, we make our lives more complicated by adding too much to our already busy schedules. Then we fall back into our old patterns because we overwhelm ourselves even more than normal. Keep it simple.
Let’s look at your body: Can you make a promise to yourself that you will get 8 hours of sleep each night this week? Or maybe you’d like to focus on eating healthy and natural foods. Maybe you’d like to commit to exercising 3 times this week. Choose one thing to change, and as you do it, instead of thinking about what you “should” be doing, or what you’d rather do, focus on the fact that you are giving your body a gift, that you are finally caring for your body which does so much for you everyday. Give your body thanks for all of the hard work it endures.
Let’s look now at your soul: Maybe you’d like to explore ways that you can be true to your authentic self this week. Or you could focus on enlisting your five senses in everything you do so that you experience everything more fully. Maybe you want to read a spiritual book or listen to some music that brings you closer to your soul. You might even like to meet up with your soul in meditation.
How about your mind: Can you commit to changing your negative self-talk into positive self-talk this week? Maybe you want to focus on using the law of attraction to your advantage? Would you like to write a list of life goals? Maybe you have been putting off learning a new skill. You could take some time this week to study that skill.
Make some small steps each week to bring you closer to your whole self. When you do, you will feel uplifted and alive! Even if you can only do one thing, do that at least and continue to do so each week.
