When our mind, body, and spirit are in alignment, our state of being is balanced. We treat our bodies well, we respect ourselves, and we feel connected to everyone and everything around us. We experience joy and a sense of well-being. Life seems to flow easily because we aren’t fighting ourselves. The mind creates emotions, which are really just physical responses to thoughts that we’re having. Negative thoughts create a stress response in the body, which isn’t healthy when it’s a common occurrence. Positive thoughts cause the brain to send out natural chemicals like serotonin and endorphins, which are healing to the body. A healthy, happy mind is also in alignment with the spirit, which always wants what’s in the best and highest good for us. If you want a healthy, happy life, then all three parts of yourself need to be taken care of. Eat well and exercise, be kinder to yourself, and remember to take some time each day to feed your soul.
