My Thoughts On Mind, Body, Spirit

I realize the power of a person's mind, body, and spirit. These three must be in focus, in sync, and in good health. These three must be present, be at the moment, and with the person now. I have a better understanding the mind, body, and spirit are keys to a good life. They must flow in a person from head to toe and keep their five senses active, alert, and sharp.

The mind must be simulated. Do activities to keep your mind growing. Learn something new. Read a book. Solve a puzzle. Find new adventures and experience new experiences. Visit a new city to see new sights. Try a new food to experience a new taste. Use the mind or lose it.

The body must be physically moving like the wind. Do activities to keep your body active. Be physical to stay healthy. Walk, run, or bike. Work out at the gym. Combine physical activity with new adventures such as hiking, learning how to ice skate, or start indoor wall climbing. My uncle lost weight playing ping pong and found he has more energy. Stay physically active to stay in shape. A person has more energy and strength being fit. Treat the body well physically or lose stamina to enjoy life.

The spirit is the feeling of living life. The spirit says to a person, "Today is a good day so make something happen." Life is really not that bad despite the sad and depressing events on the evening news. Spirit brings optimism, something positive, and joy. There is beauty, laughter, and friendliness. The spirit is around us. We find it, create it, and spread it around other people. Otherwise, the world is gloom and doom.

We continue living life with the mind, body, and spirit. People miss out living an optimal life with only one or two. A good example is overweight people. These people may be smart and smiling; however, being overweight minimizes their physical strength and energy. These people can live better lives getting in shape, feeling much better with a sound body, and have more energy to be happier with their minds and spirits.

Make an effort for the mind, body, and spirit to be present and focused. If one or two are out of synch due to an illness, a loss, or a bad timing event, then take a deep breath, spend some time to recover, refocus, and reset. Mind, body, and spirit are important for a good and successful life. Stay active.
