Finding Balance & Harmony in Life.

ToGetOnesBalance.gif

A life that can be a really enjoyable fulfilling life is already locked away inside us and we as individuals have the only key that can unlock our heart-warming and satisfying future. Each person has a uniquely shaped key that will only unlock your part of life for which you were always designed. Each key is unique and will unlock a life of contentment and harmony for you.

Life is full of challenges and when you find this key; your real challenge has just begun. Once this door to your future is unlocked, it may look very different to what you expected but somehow you will know this is the right way. Incredibly you will sense the peacefulness that will confirm with your spirit that this is right for you.

Remember that our life is a journey that we embark on at birth and continue until our life is complete, so we never arrive at a destination where we remain; we continue to develop our character until we breathe our last breath.

Having ventured upon this new found life, will bring in itself new discoveries and difficulties. With the difficulties comes strength to endure and to see your dream through.

This dream that is within everyone is what we were designed to be. Until we find this dream and live it, we will never have real peace and contentment.

Harmony is a state where our body, our mind and our spirit are all functioning in sync. Our body is fit and well; our mind has been stimulated with positive thoughts or input; our spirit and drive is flowing out of peacefulness and satisfaction.

How to Apply:- Body, Mind and Spirit.

Body:
If we are going to get the best out of life we must look after our body. Although our body is an amazing design if we fail to care for it, then it will not serve us well. I see our body as a vehicle that gets our mind and spirit around to different places and experiences.

What we put into our body is what we get out of it. Our body needs nourishment, exercise and sleep, but it is how we go about that, that makes the difference of how well our body serves us. Most people are aware that it is important to feed our body nutritious balanced food, lay off on the sweet foods and fatty foods as they cause the body function to clog up and cause malfunction to occur.

The discipline of exercise regularly helps the body to work toxins out of our body. Three sessions per week of 20 minutes duration will raise the heart beat and this will help to maintain the body functions. When our body is fit and well, there is a harmony that happens and life is much more enjoyable.

There is an increase in energy that feels so good and you just know that something special is happening.

Mind:
Our mind is a very powerful part of us that allows us to communicate with the world around us so we also need to take care of it. So many people are losing the use of their mind because of the stresses of life.

What We Put Into Our Mind Is What We Become.

We can allow negative thoughts to remain or we can change those negative thoughts to positive thoughts. When we keep entertaining negative thoughts our whole body, mind and spirit become negative.

A lot of popular information from TV, DVD’s, Video Games, Newspapers and Magazines is negative and therefore has a negative effect on our mind. We can even start believing that it is normal. We need to understand what is being put into our mind so we can keep it healthy.

Negative thoughts tend to bombard our mind most of the time.

So how do we deal with this?

It is important to understand that only when we entertain these negative thoughts, that we empower them. We have an obligation to ourselves in developing mechanisms so that we know when those thoughts are negative, then we can keep out the negative thoughts and process the positive.

How to know what thoughts are good and what are not good. Ask yourself does this thought bring long term benefit to me and all others around me, if it does that is a good thought.

Thoughts of hatred, jealousy, anger and envy are all negative thoughts and bring imbalance, these need to be replaced with kindness, caring and loving thoughts. You will be amazed as you allow your mind to think on these things how much your whole life will change to a focus on positive stuff.

Spirit:
In Western culture the area of the spirit is very neglected and misunderstood. This culture has promoted greed and selfishness, knowledge and understanding in an intellectual way. We are out chasing the ‘almighty’ dollar; meanwhile the whole area of the spirit development has been neglected.

The spirit area is our intuition our drive our inspiration our motivation and our value base. So without the spirit area active is our life, our life becomes meaningless and without purpose. To feed the spirit area you will need to spend some time by yourself, reflecting on your life and thinking about the future and the meaning of life. For life really has a purpose for everyone. Without this area of our spirit being alive and active, you will fail to achieve your life’s purpose.

Personally I enjoy spending time beside the water in a quiet place in a natural setting. It is at these times, that inspiration insight and energy comes for me to fulfil my purpose in life. When we can tap into that power that is important to feed our body nutritious balanced food, lay off on the sweet foods and fatty foods as they cause the body function to clog up and cause malfunction to occur.

The discipline of exercise regularly helps the body to work toxins out of our body. As I said earlier three sessions per week of 20 minutes will raised heart beat will help to maintain the body functions. When our body is fit and well there is a harmony that happens and life is much more enjoyable.

We need to find small things that we can do to protect us on our journey of developing our dreams.
