Healthy Thought Patterns

 

 

 

Spiritual well-Being

Every day YOU have to be a Spiritual,

Mental, Emotional, and Physical well-being.  And it all has to be in

harmony and balanced.

 

YOU have to be mindful every day of that harmony and balance.

YOUR daily stress has to have harmony and be balanced.

 

Most ancient cultures pointed to a connection between body,

mind, and spirit and recognized that each composed a part of the

whole.  Now, integrative medicine and health psychology are

beginning to recognize that health is influenced not only by the

physical body but the spiritual, mental, and emotional bodies, too.

 

Your health is dependent on all four facets, as opposed to just

one of the four.  Building onto this concept your overall health is

also influenced by a trickle-down effect.  The physical body is

affected by our emotions, our thoughts direct how we feel, and

our energy level sways our mind and our thoughts.  Let us get

more specific on the details of each body and the practices

you can follow to main their health.

 

Practices for the Spiritual Body:

 

Practice meditation daily

 

Learn to work with energy, through practices such as ways to

 

keep the energy channels open

 

Study consciousness, religion, or philosophy

 

Attend a silent retreat to deepen your connection to Self

 

Pray

 

The Mental Body

 

Set goals

 

Get a coach or mentor to keep focused on your goals

 

Daily recapitulation

 

Continue your education

 

Eliminate stressors from your life

 

The Emotional Body

 

Self-reflect

 

Practice forgiveness

 

Deepen your connection with others

 

Spend time cultivating gratitude for the gifts and opportunities you

 

have been given

 

 

Practice mental and emotional release techniques

 

The Physical Body

 

Move your body exercise

 

Prepare fresh, organic meals

 

Get plenty of sleep

 

Receive regular massages

 

Spend time in nature

 

Try all the above on a daily basis – I do not believe that everyone

can do things every day forever.  Give yourself a break and

forgive SELF is you miss a day once in awhile.  It is life.

 

To SELF:

 

Be nice

 

Be joyful

 

Be quiet

 

Be forgiving

 

Be kind

 

Be funny

 

Be smiling

 

Be energetic

 

Be thoughtful

 

Be mindful

 

Be supportive

 

Be encouraging

 

Be empowering

 

Be healthy

 

Be positive

 

Be courteous

 

Be embolden

 

 

All the above can help YOU stay in harmony and balanced.

 

Take care and enjoy every day

YOU and CHOICE

 

The choice is a central part of life.  How to make a good Choice for

YOU.

 

The right, power, or opportunity to choose.

 

The choice is about YOU and choice is personal and choice effects

others deeply.  And the choice YOU make today will affect all the

other choices in the years to come as YOU age.  Even a small

choice has ripples.  It may not be noticeable but I still effect more

than just today.

 

Learn to make the correct choice for YOU and to learn from the

wrong choice.

 

YOUR life is guided and defined by the choices YOU make

Know and appreciate those good choices are harder to make than

poor ones

Accomplishment of an important goal always starts with an

important choice.

 

Many of YOUR choices are under the control or influence of

others.  This should not be but is a normal thing.

 

Be a good thinker – so that your can make good choices.

 

Good choices are generated in our minds

 

Decisions that you make today started with a choice back when.

Choose the good things – integrity, peace, love, forgiveness and

keep choosing the POSITIVE things in life so that YOU will get

where you want to go and

 

What Does Life Expect from YOU?

 

I have had, over my lifetime, quite a few in my family that has

had terrible addictions.  Whether they have been from alcohol or

drugs – both have been very bad upon their life.

From my observation and I believe many phycologists will agree

that when a person with an addiction crosses the line to being

called an addict – the person’s development stops at that time

and until the can get over that addiction the maturing and

development will always be there and in their life.  That person’s

choices will not be positive or in their best interest or their family

or friends best interest.  The choice for an addict is always about

feeding the addiction – that is their #1 priority.  Everything else

takes second in their life.

 

For those of us who are not addicts – choice has an obvious and

immediate moral significance.

 

Decision-making is something all of us need to learn to do.  And

to master decision-making skills and making good decisions

depends on several factors:

 

Person’s developmental stage/age

Idea of right a wrong

What the decision-making process entail.

Practice

 

Starting young to learn to make choices is not too young.  I tried

to give my children challenges so they could make a choice and

learn how to make the correct with our family values.

Never give a child more than 2 choices – let them make the

decision and how to choose for them.

 

As we age we know how to choose and make better choice’s

because we know SELF better and what values we are living by.

YOU and YOUR SPIRIT

 

YOUR spirit, mind and body all goes together – and has to be

 

BALANCED in order for you to have a happy and healthy aging

 

life so YOU do not die sick and have to be taken care.  The goal

 

here at this website on and on this podcast is for you to live

 

a stress less, comfortable, and physically active life.  You

 

cannot do that unhealthy, in debt, or in bad relationships-whether

 

with family or friends, whether with women or men.

 

YOUR SPIRIT can provide a:

 

Reassuring belief in a greater force or being

 

Sense of purpose and meaning

 

Focus on your own or univsal wisdom

 

Way to understand suffering

 

Connection with other

 

Reminder of the good in the world

 

I believe in a higher power, GOD, some call the force that created

 

The whole universe

 

Consider some of the science on religion and spirituality:

 

People who meditate have increased activity in a “feel-good”

 

are of the brain.

 

People with strong religious beliefs recovered faster from heart

 

surgery than people with weaker faith

 

People who did not attend religious services died significantly

 

younger than those who attended more than once a week

 

There are different paths of spirituality that are listed:

 

Religious institutions:

 

they say people who attend a house of worship regularly are

 

happier and healthier, research shows.  Likely because of the

 

social connection.

 

Pray or focus on your notion of God.

 

Read religious texts

 

Talk with others

 

Volunteer

 

 

Meditation:

 

Research also shows that meditation offer not only calm but help

 

with anxiety and depression, cancer, chronic pain, asthma, heart

 

disease and high blood pressure.

 

Take up to an hour a day

 

Here are some types of meditations you may do:

 

Deep breathing

 

Mindfulness meditation

 

Visualization

 

Repeating a mantra

 

Some of these paths to your spiritual side:

 

Focus on your goals, values and belief

 

Keep a journal

 

Read inspiring stories or essays

 

Be open to new experiences

 

Look at what is good in yourself and others

 

Listed below are 10 tools that you could use:

 

  1. Connect with others

 

  1. Stay positive

Over the years I have done all of the above and each have

 

helped me over the years.

 

I am a work in progress still – almost 75 years old – I am still a

 

work in progress and will be until I pass over the bridge.

 

The #1 thing YOU need to take care of is stress

 

All of the above should help you do that but be:

 

Strong

 

Courageous

 

Forgiving

 

If you cannot handle stress nothing is going to work well for long

 

Anger, stress, not forgiving, jealous.  These are hurtful things

 

that can destroy your life. – your mind, body and spirit.

 

Stay above these things –get them out of your life.
