the Mind-Body-Soul Connection

Hello All !

I hope you had a nice weekend and have been getting pumped for the holiday season! Today I want to blog about the mind body soul connection, which most of you have already heard before. The way this works is that we need to create balance amongst the three in order to feel alive in this little game called life. Like the three S's of life (see earlier blog post) we cannot only focus on one facet, instead we must maintain balance and nurture all three! Basically I want you to think of the mind body soul connection as a triangle

Mind

Body - Body- Body

Soul -Soul-Soul-Soul-Soul-Soul

The Mind is on the top in that we must nurture it with knowledge and keep it free of clutter. Our studies do not simply stop once we complete school, they continue throughout our life in order for us to learn about ourselves and those we come in contact with. We must also train the mind to stay free of stress even in the toughest of situations. If this sounds hard try breathing techniques and or looking at problems from a different angles. Try Meditation, yoga, simple stretching, and even shutting your eyes while listening to relaxing music.

Once we nurture the Mind we move down to our body which must be fed empowering foods and exercised daily. We must not eat or drink in excess instead we should monitor ourselves that we are keeping a proper balance. Many people decide to eat fast food since it is a lot quicker but as time progresses the body feels sluggish and looks fat and not exercised. This greatly effects our mind and our ability to think clearly. When we decide to treat our body like an automobile; keeping it clean, well tuned, and properly fed we notice we instantly feel and look better radiating positive energy into the world. This brings me to the soul -

Our connection to the Soul is our connection to our highest selves. We cannot connect to this higher self unless we have treated our mind and our body with respect. When we are proactively doing the things we enjoy most, we are connecting to our true selves and will see much more synchronicity in our lives, bump into the people we need most, and we will radiate confidence. When we believe in our selves despite what others are saying, we connect with our highest nature. I like to look at other peoples negativity and their doubts as a personal obstacle - I see it as a hurdle and it gives me the strength to move in the appropriate direction for me! I promise you if you follow your gut feelings and stay true to your heart you will succeed in life. The reason most do not connect with him or herself on a spiritual level is due to fear - Fear of the unknown, the fear of what others think, and the fear of failing. As Susan Jeffer's says, "feel the fear and do it anyway."

So you want to be a success ?

Hello everyone - I hope all of you have had a nice week so far despite the cold weather! Today I wanted to blog about becoming successful - Many people have a distorted idea of what being a success means, in that generally people associate it with money and or fame. After hearing and reading about too many who feel that way, I decided to look up the word "Success" in the dictionary. The definition of success is as follows; The accomplishment of an aim or purpose. (now I probably could stop writing the rest of this entry in that some of you are astonished by such a definition). Being successful, which any powerful person will tell you, is about choosing a goal and working each and every day towards that goal. Many people will argue and say, " a successful person is one whom is rich or has reached a high level of status and or fame based on a idea he or she came up with." As this may be true in the end - The money comes after you become successful. The amount you earn is in direct proportion to how much service you are providing for others. These people that you see all over t.v. have worked not harder than their peers but smarter to get to where they want to be. The question you have to ask yourself is, "how badly do I want it." If you want to be success take a good look at yourself in the mirror and really dig deep towards what's important to you. Put money aside and understand that you will make more money than you can imagine if you put your heart and soul into the line of work you want to do - Create a vision for yourself, and stay true to that vision.

I listen to a lot of motivational audiobooks which repeatedly state that the airplane, the computer, the lightbulb, the telephone, etc etc. were once not even imaginable. These ideas were ridiculed by people and no one in a million years thought these things would come into fruition except one person, the creator. Be a creator, imagine something and put your heart and soul into it. If you believe it, you surely will acheive it.

Another note on being a success, write your ideas down, and jot other ideas around them(this will stir the creativity around). Eat healthy, get adequate sleep, and treat your body well. All are essential for you to be fully creative and alert to the beauty of the world around us. Remember you are in the drivers seat - Think of it this way your soul or that being looking out of your eyelids is the driver and your body is simple the vehicle. It is your job to keep your vehicle in good shape and it is also your job to get your vehicle to the correct destination - There is place where we all belong, maybe there are a few places, only You know where that is.
