Live a life of Health and Peace
We all want to live a healthy life but do not necessarily know how to do so or do the things we need to do, as sometimes it is easier to put things off for another day, “I’ll start tomorrow”, we have been there at some stage during our lives, right.
One of the most important route to success and being successful in life is to live a life of health, work towards total well being.
Total well being
Total well being is working on all aspects of your health, I was once told or may have read somewhere that there is something called 3 dimensional health, at first I remember wondering what was that? What is he talking about? It then became apparent and obvious, that he was referring to the Body, Soul and Spirit. Each part needing to be healthy as one is interdependent with the other two.
The three aspects are like layers in an onion, you have the core which is the spirit, on top of that is the mind and then the third outer layer is the body. Each has to be strong enough to support each other, the inner most core (Spirit) has to be strongest as it supports the other two, the second layer (Soul) in turn has to support the outer most layer (Body).
The Body
It is quite common to pay more attention to one over the others, I would say most people look after their body only, the physical aspect, while this is good as we need to look after ourselves right, to look good for the opposite sex etc…, however, a lot of people neglect their physical bodies, I am amazed how some people take more care of their pets then themselves, some peoples dogs can run and run for hours, but their owners can’t even get up the one flight of stairs.
Concentrating on just the physical aspect, I believe you miss out on far more of what life has to offer, you don’t see or appreciate the beauty of the things around you, cannot get the wisdom and knowledge without reading books from great writers of the past and also our current generation. Don’t have a faith or beliefs to give you the foundation and grounding to allow the growth of a person in it’s entirety.
The Soul
Then there are those who concentrate on their soul, the intellectual side to their being, although this also good as it keeps the mind active and you gain a lot of knowledge and wisdom.
However, what good is that if are not able to benefit or appreciate what physical exercise can do for health of your body and mind, when you don’t have the energy to play with your children or your partner. Although you gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom from reading and observing life around you, I feel that you are not complete if your physical health is ignored, one is missing out on all the possibilities the combination can achieve.
The Spirit
Then there are those who concentrate on seeking spiritual enlightenment, they get so enlightened that they don’t seem to be earthly, have a belief and reached a point where they are so peaceful they don’t exist.
Having said that the spiritual side of any being is the core, the pillar of strength which all the others can be built on. Being strong spiritually can bring miracles to life, the peace, self believe and the faith gathered within will never be lost, the use of this strength and faith can move mountains and create far reaching peace.
Creating a Life of Peace
We can change the way we live and create the way we want to live our lives, to achieve this we must change ourselves, work on ourselves first, we function best when we live in balance, let’s go and re-instate the balance in our lives, go and create a peaceful world for yourself and everybody around you.
Look after your Body, Soul and Spirit.
