“Your Mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.” - author unknown
As we go through life we face challenges that create stress and overwhelm but also these very same challenges give us an opportunity to develop personal growth .
Our personal growth is unique to each one of us. With that said there are variables that enhance our
life, our mind, our body and our soul.
Mind
The ability for us to process our emotions gives us inner peace. It keeps us mentally sound and also physically healthy. Our physical ailments are sometimes a manifestation of the emotions or feelings that we either ruminate over or avoid. We can agree that an emotional upset can cause a physical pain in our body. We can take this further and perhaps agree that disease can develop from lingering emotions. It is so important for us to be aware of not only our thoughts, our self talk and the actual words we speak. These have a direct influence over how we feel. Journaling your experiences will help you become more aware of the emotional connection to the experiences you have.
Body
Our Body is a road map of the way we think. The various places in our body are directly related to specific emotions. For example:
Fear is connected to the kidneys
Anger is connected to the liver
Sadness is connected to the heart
Grief is connected to the lungs
Exercise causes your brain to release 'feel good' chemicals like endorphins and serotonin that help improve your mood. It also improves your fitness, which can help lift your mood. Doing physical activity can also distract you from negative thought patterns. Good Nutrition will have a positive affect as well.
Spirit
Many people through trials and tribulations have been learning to incorporate some form of connection to what lies beyond the physical realm of our existence. One of the ways we can get in touch with this connection is to understand the interplay between a spiritual connection and our earthly one.
Namely a connection of your soul and spirit to your mind and body.
It is our spirit that informs the soul and the soul that informs the mind/body with information and higher wisdom to guide us. Our physically body is the suitcase for the soul it gives the soul the mobility it needs to have a human experience to learn and grow. Therefore, the soul needs its body to be physically and emotionaslly in a good place for it to fulfill its job.
We can enhance our soul's growth through meditation, prayer, connection to nature and accessing the Akashic Records.
Have great day,
