Welcome to Body Mind and Spirit Connection
Honor your SPIRIT
We are first and foremost "spiritual" beings.
Growing Spiritually
It’s not easy to grow spiritually in our today’s modern world, where everything seems to boil down to money, power and influence.
Over the last decades more and more did we get used to focusing our attention on physical needs and wants. Extensively helped by our society, the media, television, magazines and the World Wide Web, we have learned to chase external rewards, in stead of seeking a balance between the material and spiritual aspects of our lives. We have allowed ourselves to be distracted by the various pictures of success that society offers us. We constantly compare ourselves with others and we are living according to someone else’s idea of what life should be. So, large amounts of people have lost control of their lives and vast groups of them live a confused and unhappy life, while others are close to different states of depression.
If the under mentioned self motivation tips are followed we will start to live a more balanced spiritual life. Through this self motivation exercise we will acquire self motivation skills which in turn will help us to grow into the balanced spiritual person we want to be.
To be able to grow spiritually we need to look inside of ourselves, and this goes a lot further than to recall certain events that took place today, this week or the past month.
We need to learn to be courageous and willing to find the truths that lie deep within us. Introspection means that we have to look closely and reflect on our thoughts and feelings, our beliefs and our motivations in an objective and self-forgiving way and we need to focus on our areas that need improvement. It is important that we periodically examine our experiences, our relationships, the decisions we take, the things that we attract into our lives.
This provides us with deep insights on what our motivations for certain actions are. It gives us the opportunity to look at the qualities of character we want to sustain and the ones we need to adjust or even change, so that we learn to properly act, react and conduct in any situation in our lives.
Growing spiritually means we learn to be able to live our full potential and we need to make sure that our physical body, our mental body, our emotional body and our spiritual body are in balance. Achieving to bring balance to each of these bodies will lead to our total development. Growing spiritually also means that we realize that our lives have a purpose and that we are connected to all things. Our purpose puts all our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual potentials into use. It sustains us during challenging times and it gives us a feeling of having a goal to achieve, a destination to reach. After all we all need a purpose, a meaning.
Realizing that we are connected to all things helps us to become more humble and respectful of the people and all things in nature. It makes us appreciative to everything around us and it helps us to go beyond our comfort zone and reach out to others.
To grow in spirit is a day-to-day encounter and the most important thing is that we learn, so that our further spiritual growth is possible.
Ten Ways to Honor Your Spirit
Embrace Your Talents.
Recognize and further develop your intelligence and special gifts. Our talents are signifiers that lead us toward our unique paths. Follow your passion and you will soon discover where you fit in this world. When we squelch innate yearnings we lose our way.
Tie Up Loose Ends.
Unresolved issues eat away at us emotionally and mentally. Tackle troubling things that need dealt with and put them to rest. In the meanwhile, learn not to allow future problems to be ignored. Our wounds fester when they are not attended to in a timely manner. Realize that buried problems always surface eventually. Dealing with difficulties as they arise rather than hiding from them is the best route.
Take responsibility in your relationships.
So many people play the “blame game” in their relationships. Spirit does not play the blame game. Spirit addresses the problems in a relationship and “owns” it’s failures and then focuses on changing that defeating attitude instead of expecting the other person to change.
Sometimes love means saying goodbye.
Useless attachments.
Clutter is something that no longer serves any purpose in your life. Clutter is not only physical things, clutter can be beliefs that we hold onto that block spirit’s path. Holding onto these things eats up your energy. Spirit likes to be free. So you need to free your space and let your energy expand by clearing out all of the unwanted, unnecessary things that block the spirits energy.
Confront Your Inner Demons.
Everyone of us has made or regrets past decisions. Recognizing that we are not perfect frees us from feeling stupid or "less than." Bring light to those things that you are not proud of and realize that through these experiences you have learned great lessons, and have likely become a better person because of them. If you keed negative actions hidden you can overshadow your spirit with shame or depression. You all deserve to live with joy regardless of your imperfections.
Accept Changes and Go With The Flow.
There is a fine line between caution and fear. We are meant to travel along a spiritual pathway. We are not meant to remain stunted in one place for very long. Yes, change can be scary. But, change is a path of learning, so why not follow it? When we resist change we can actually create chaos. Do you want to undertake a lesson down a path which you've chosen, or have lessons thrown at you down a path that was forced upon you?
Accept Delays Along The Way.
There are times when we need to be still. Impatience or frustration will not help any situation. Desired changes sometime take time to unfold. You may feel like you are ready to jump into a new arena... but wait. The situation or person that you are wanting to meet may not be ready for you just yet. It's okay to sit at the bus stop for a few more minutes, the bus will arrive eventually. What's the hurry?
Love and Honor Yourself At All Times.
Are you taking good care of yourself? Your physical body is the vehicle that has been loaned to you to live out your life in and to assist growing your spirit with. Pamper your body, tend to your illnesses, exercise and give it the proper nutrients.
Death and Illness and How to Deal With That.
Physical life is a gift that comes with a variety of experiences. Suffering and illness are bundled in with that package of experiences. Although our bodies have expiration dates, our spirits don't expire. Choosing to look at illness and death in positive ways rather than negatively will help to give your life here on the planet deeper meaning.
Nurture your Spirit each and every day.
