THE BODY IS THE INSTRUMENT OF THE MIND, HEART AND SPIRIT.

 

Recognize when we neglect the physical balance :


When the body is neglected we loose not only our health, but also our Mental ability to focus, be creative, our endurance, our toughness, our courage, our learning abilities.


This in turn will affect our Emotional intelligence , our patience, our love, understanding, empathy, ability to listen start fading which compromises us as an individual even further.


Our Spirit (peace of mind) deteriorate to such an extent that we lose the willingness to do good in all that we do or focus on.

 

What do we need to do to balance these four pillars then ?

 

FOR THE BODY

Wise Nutrition (looking at diet)

Consistent Balance Exercise

Proper Rest, Relaxation, Stress Management and Prevention Thinking (stop before the body is damaged)


 FOR THE MIND

Continuous, Systematic, Disciplined Study and Education

Learning about oneself, Self enrichment (who am I ?)

Learning by teaching and doing

 

FOR THE HEART

Self-Awareness (reflect on your own life)

Personal Motivation (what excites you ?)

Self-Regulation (manage yourself, your time)

Social Skills (how do you solve problems?)

Empathy (to see how others feel)

 

FOR THE SPIRIT

Integrity (being true to oneself and values)

Meaning (a sense of contribution)

Voice (using your calling / gifts)


COMPROMISE:

Ask yourself this ……………….. when I compromise what exactly do I do ? 

Compromise =  giving away, settle, agree to , meeting someone halfway.

Do we COMPROMISE to such an extent that we no longer hear our body, mind, heart, spirit any more ?

When we compromise to such an extent that we damage our own four pillars, could I encourage you to stop for a moment, ask yourself, what did I just sell my Spirit (Soul) for? 

 

Was it worth…..

 

And the list continues …………

 

Live for today, for today is the investment of tomorrow.
