Mind, body, and soul. There's a balance that must be stricken between these three life components. Maintaining this balance allows for one to find their equilibrium and live a happy peaceful life. This is not to say that even if your life seems balanced you will not run into trouble. We live in a changing world with new challenges every day.
Let us first start with the mind, the mind is made up of all your thoughts beliefs etc. What goes into it can either corrupt it or allow for growth and maturation. The mind is an amazing thing that can be developed into a complex organism. In my opinion, the mind is the key to unlocking body and soul. If your mind is right you can conquer obstacles with a clearer vision of the world. Each person perceives the world in a different way based on our mind's eye and our frame of reference. Getting your mind right is all about conditioning yourself to be optimistic and positive about each situation you're faced with. Self-confidence plays a role in this because people are tuned to weed out fakes. Confidence can be faked for so long before you get called out for it. Our minds healthiness is the precursor to balance between the mind and body.
Now when I say body you might believe I am talking about working out or how many cups of water you drink a day. It goes farther than what you put in your body or what your workout routine is. Your bodies health is comprised of this and more. It's how you eat, it's how you feel about your body etc. Being body conscious is always a good thing but not to the extent where it compromises your mental (mind) health. Each of these components, mind body and soul, affect each other and as we talked about earlier are all in balance.
Lastly, the soul which goes past what your mind and body are. The soul is the root of who you are spiritually and realistically. When the soul is not at peace you can sense it. For example, you can tell when your best friend is faking happiness but are actually hurting. When we act out of character our soul is in disagreement with this facade we are creating. It's cliche to say be who you are and transparent but that is what it breaks down to. Being straightforward and honest with yourself makes it easier to share that kind of honesty with others. The soul is at peace when your conscience and actions are clear.
Mind, body, and soul. Having each of these in balance can transform a life.
