Renewing Your Spirit for a Balanced Healthy Life

What gets in the way of my ability to live in the moment is trying to do too many things at once, forgetting to take care of myself first. Instead I tend to start feeling cluttered or panicked that I can't possibly finish it all, and I don't get anything done right until I slow down long enough to focus on the first task of the day; the task of renewing my spirit.

"Renewing the spiritual dimension provides direction your life. It is your core, your center, your commitment to your value system. It’s a very private area of life and a really important one. It draws upon the sources that inspire and uplift and tie you to the timeless truths of all humanity. And all people do it very, very differently." (Stephen Covey)

You may find it in prayer, meditation, through the Bible scriptures because they represent your value system. For others reading great literature or listening to the beauty of music can provide a similar lift to your spirit. There are others who find it in nature. Nature's beauty and fresh air can be the missing link for many of us.

"When you are able to leave the noise and discord of daily life and give yourself up to the harmony and rhythm of nature, you come back renewed. For a time, you’re undisturbable, almost unflappable, until gradually the noise and the discord from outside start to invade that sense of inner peace." (Stephen Covey)

Leading a healthy lifestyle means a commitment to taking care of yourself; body, mind and spirit!

Have a beautiful day~ Sara Ashe
