There comes a time in your life where you have to stop, look, and listen. Step outside yourself and really look at yourself through a third-person perspective. It?s hard to do. We never want others, or ourselves, to judge us. But judging ourselves is exactly what we need to do in order to take ourselves to the next level.?
If we want to expand our health and well-being, we need to look at ourselves and see what it is that we are doing in order to make that change. We need to establish what health and wellness means to us individually.? We all have different goals for different reasons.? And that?s because we are, in fact, very different. Some eat clean and exercise to stay lean. Some do it just because it?s a lifestyle. Some do it competitively for fitness and for sport. And some do it for all of the above?.mind, body, and spirit. Which is what I tend to lean towards.
When I don?t exercise and eat well on a regular basis, I don?t feel well. Not only in my body, but in my mind as well. There is a chemical/hormonal reaction that goes on in the body when we nourish and challenge it PROPERLY.? I feel funky in my body?-I get bloated, have digestive challenges, and fell fatigued?when I don?t take care of myself. And so for me, that leans more towards mind, body, and spirit?.they are all interconnected.
You cannot have one without the other. The body encapsulates the mind and the spirit.? It?s purpose is to manifest that which is brought on by the mind and the spirit. So it stands to reason that the physical issues/complaints/diseases??and all the good feeling stuff we experience, are a direct reflection of the thoughts we think, the emotions we feel, and the state of mind.
I know that in my lifetime, one of my biggest PHYSICAL issues has always been gastrointestinal. I have, of course along with millions of others, been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. Which is basically what they tell you you have when they cannot find anything pathologically wrong with you and you seem to still struggle with digestive problems.? For years I went on elimination diets. For years I did cleansing. For years I followed exactly what they told me to do. More fiber. More exercise. More water. More More More!!! None of it worked??WHY???
Well, for me personally, and there is not getting around this?..it?s always been emotional/spiritual. That which we think is ALWAYS going to be reflected in our physical.
Ever know someone who can eat whatever they want and never have a digestive issue a day in their life while another person can eat the healthiest of healthy diets and have nothing but constipation, bloating, and other GI distress??
The more I treat clients, the more I see that with them, and myself as well, that the ones with IBS, are generally the ones who have the heaviest loads in life to deal with. Whether it?s a current situation, a past situation, or an upcoming situation.? We think too much and??thoughts become things. We literally think, worry, and panic ourselves into not feeling well. Stress is the leading cause of digestive issues in life?.and stress can lead to a plethora of other health issues as well. And most of the things we stress about we truly do not have any control over. So why worry about the things we cannot fix.
Things I personally have stressed over??work, health, family, finances?..all things that I have little or no control over I have tried to control all at once only to have them crash down at me all at once. That?s that feeling you get when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders?.that pit in your stomach?.that waking up in the middle of the night?..the inability to lose weight. It?s all stress. And it?s all useless mind chatter.
Let go. Be with what is present. The past IS in the past. The future IS in the future. What you do have is the present. And about the only thing you have control over?..are the thoughts you think. Think yourself into well-being. Love your mind, body, and spirit for exactly the way it is right now?.even if it?s not your ideal?.appreciate it for all that it is. Because when you do, you will look at yourself in a completely different light.
And that is what is called well-being.
