THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT
Dealing with struggles is a part of life that cannot always be avoided. Strengthening the connection between the mind, body , and spirit takes effort, so here is how these three factors work together to benefit your overall health:
A Healthy Mind
To have a healthy mind, one must keep the brain exercised regularly, and stress and worrying are kept at bay by choice. Positive thoughts, gratitude, and a feeling of joy are present, and there is a thirst for knowledge and learning. Just like the brain requires sleep every night, the brain also requires things to think about and ponder.

A Healthy Body
Your body is inherited from your parents. A healthy body is free of disease and illness, and it is not riddled with pain. Bodily health is also made possible by a healthy diet, good nutrition, and regular exercise.
A healthy body naturally wants to move and seeks activity. Maintaining physical health also includes keeping regular checkups with your primary care doctor to prevent illness, detect it, and treat it right away if disease exists.

Facilitating a healthy spirit includes being part of a community sharing yourself with others and giving without expecting anything tangible in return. A healthy spirit requires love.
