Today , I am sharing with you the concept of
health as I see it. in my opinion, there are 3 key parts to good health
in any individual:
a) Mental health
b) Physical health
c) Emotional health.
Much of the emphasis in everyday media,
usually stresses the physical health of someone being paramount to that
person achieving better or optimal health. It seems to totally disregard
emotional and mental health as being of any importance.
In my experience, all three parts need to be
connected and functioning properly for an individual to be classed as
'Healthy'. In other words, you cannot have a healthy mind without a
healthy body or healthy emotions. The three parts are inextricably
linked and if any part is not functioning harmoniously, the other parts
too will inevitably be affected. Our mind and body are so closely
connected that when one is affected there is bound to be repercussions
on another.. For instance, when we suffer a significant amount of
emotional stress , we find that our energy levels drop, our muscles ache
quicker, our performance
falters, and we are more susceptible to illness. This in a nutshell
is just a very simple example of how stress - (Emotional) has a profound
effect on our performance ( Physical).
However, not to be forgotten amongst all
this is the awareness that we all have a 'Spiritual Health' - a spirit
like force that defines each and every one of us.This spirit is
basically the summary of our individual physical, mental and emotional
health/ journey.. Human spirit is a powerful insight into who an
individual really is. 'You' yourself define your spirit by your
emotional and mental attitude. For instance, ' My life is about
growing, learning, exploring, awareness, being a better human being,
living as best as I can etc.' That's my power, my spirit, my calling,
and consequently affects my physical abilities and goals.. Maybe start
thinking today about what you feel your 'spirit ' is. What defines you
as 'YOU' and how maybe your ' SPIRIT ' can be strong enough to enhance your overall health and wellbeing each and every day.. All good wishes x x
