MIND + BODY + SOUL | PT. 1 - THE MIND
The mind, body, and soul should be top priority. Why? Because they’re key components to our existence. We only get one shot at life. Who wants to waste it? Surely not me. If we don’t make time to nurture, cleanse, and heal ourselves, we’ll fall victim to self-destruction.
I’m no expert, but at the age of twenty-eight I know what it’s like to put myself at risk of “self- destruction”. So, I decided to not only take charge, but to let God lead the way.
Let’s start with the organ that controls it all - THE MIND!
The Mind is the set of cognitive faculties including consciousness, imagination, perception, thinking, judgement, language and memory, which is housed in the brain (sometimes including the central nervous system). It is usually defined as the faculty of an entity’s thoughts and consciousness.
When you put your mind towards excellence, everything inside you will follow. If your mind is set on failure, everything inside you will follow. This is why the mind is a terrible thing to waste. Just think about how much you can accomplish when your mind is filled with goodness and knowledge. You cannot be defeated. Your mind will be too powerful to be disrupted by anything.
Let me keep it real. I believe mental health effects us all. As humans we go through so many changes and struggles. I can’t discuss the upside without addressing the downside. WE ALL HAVE MOMENTS where things in our personal and professional lives get the best of us, and we find ourselves handling situations out of emotion, anger, or frustration instead of opting for healthier resolutions. All is not lost.
LET ME HELP YOU- HELP YOURSELF
The word tells us “The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.” Proverbs 19:8 NIV Wisdom is knowledge. Knowledge is power. Filling your mind with the essentials it needs is like a bath in the finest organic oils. Not only does It feel good, it’s good for you! When you become empowered, empowering others becomes second nature. You are healing yourself in real time. Most of all you are witnessing God’s work within you.
Gaining wisdom nourishes the mind. If you cannot find ways to take care of your mental health, seek help. Talk to a family member, friend, or seek professional help! DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!! <3 There is always someone willing to help you.
Leave me some love, God Bless
