Five Wellness Tips for Bringing Mind Body and Soul Together

Whether it's a daily meditation or prayer, a rigid diet system, or just a good quality book, the outcome of  being able to combined these three aspects of yourself can bring about the balance that most people  wish they had in their lives. What brings your mind body and soul together?  What are you passionate  about? Discover here the wellness tips I use myself.

I propose that what moves your soul is also what causes you to feel the type of energy that can only  be described as passionate.  Although we talk a lot about balance, most people leave out the concept  of the soul, mostly because it's not very well understood by Westerners.

Certain type of music lifts me up and reminds me that there is a much bigger world out there than  the daily happenings in mine, so I ask you again, what makes you passionate? That's what does it for  me, anyway.  That doesn't mean sexual passion, that means spiritual passion and the best example I  know of is listening to Southern Baptist gospel music. Here are five tips to help you decide:

Wellness Tip 1-Exploring New Areas
Try picking a goal like exploring three new forms of spirituality this season, instead. Please  don't tell me they have to do with money, which is great, if that's what you're into, but the  process of attaining these goals should be what causes the passion, because what makes the goal so  much sweeter was the journey that went with achieving it.  Future goals are supposed to inspire  passion, are yours worthy of your mind, body, and spirit?

Wellness Tip 2- Remembering Your Achievement
The fastest way to crush your soul is to constantly tell yourself that you screwed up, that  you're no good.  The soul and mind will eventually believe you, and your body will follow by  becoming sick. The fastest way to crush your soul is to constantly tell yourself that you screwed  up, that you're no good. Instead, remember your accomplishments, one of the best ways to nurture  your body, mind, and spirit is to remember how much good you do, not get down on yourself for every  little mistake.

Wellness Tip 3 - Create Imagery
Create happiness scenes. This is a form of meditation where you practice taking your mind to a  safe and happy place that you either create or plan to go to someday. When stress rears its ugly  head, go to your safe place for a minute. (Yes, this tip is made fun of in the movies all the time,  but it works, it really does.)

Wellness Tip 4 - Take a break
Look forward to something, plan to get away. Nothing seems to nurture the body, mind, and soul  better than physically leaving and finding a new place to explore, even if it's for the weekend.  Plan a weekend trip and get away to the mountains or the beach, whichever direction your heart takes  you. Now here's the best part-go alone. When was the last time you spent sometime away with no one  else but you? This can be very relaxing; you don't have to worry about entertaining anyone else but  you.

Wellness Tip 5-  Affirmation
Practice affirmations, find a stress reliever and practice it. We talked a little about this in  number 2, but pick three affirmations and say them out loud to your self in the mirror every day.  This has been proven to work! If you tell yourself something about yourself enough times, you will  make it true. It seems so easy for people to believe that when it comes to saying negative things to  our selves, why is it so hard to believe that it works the other way, too? Three simple affirmations  to get you started are:
"I am always safe and secure."
"The universe provides everything I need."
"My income is ever increasing."
