Aligning Body, Mind, and Spirit: The Path to Holistic Well-Being
If you get in the best shape of your life and your physical appearance is not congruent with your mental and emotional state, you will eventually fall back out of shape. I know this firsthand; I did this few times! If you look at my before and after pics, you can tell! I was a specimen in my twenties and early thirties.
Then BAM! WHAT HAPPENED? I went from looking like the Statue of David, to the Statue of David made of sponge cake.
Why? Because it is not just a physical battle. It is a mental battle, and really a spiritual battle. It is ok if you do not believe that yet, but one day you will face the reality of the truth of that statement. We are a Spirit, we have a Soul, and we live in a Body.
If it is the first time you have ever heard that, think about this: You can reflect on your thoughts as you think them. Why? Because you are more than a mind. You have a conscience, and that voice is the voice of your Spirit.
Consider these Statistics
70.6 percent of Americans are Christian.
1.9 percent of Americans are Jewish.
0.9 percent of Americans are Muslim.
0.7 percent of Americans are Buddhist.
0.7 percent of Americans are Hindu.
1.5 percent of Americans follow other faiths.
0.03 percent of Americans follow other world religions.
Most people in the United States believe we are spirit beings. Yet do not live like it! I am a Christian, and it is statistically impossible for me to be wrong. Anyone who is seriously searching will find that Jesus Christ not only died but rose from the dead. That might sound arrogant, but it is not; it is true. Anyone who seeks truth will prove me right.
If you are one of the 70.6 percent of Christians, it is time to get everything right! If you are one of the other religions, it is time to investigate why you believe what you believe. Get your Spirit right, get your mind right, and get your body right. If you do not, you will live a meaningless, painful life.
If you are a Christian, it is time to shape up! You are a disciple of Jesus. He was the most self-disciplined man on that ever lived. It is time to get fit in all areas of your life.
When all three areas of my being are not aligned… my body proves it, so does yours.
You might be wondering why I am closing this email with no call to action… you are just going to leave me like this? No. Read this Matthew 7:7
