Inspiration+
Dedication+ Perspiration= Results
Earlier this
week we learned how deprivation and indulgence lead to addiction, today I’d
like to present you with a direct route out.
Wellness is the realignment of the
spirit, mind and body. It is not one or the other; it is all three elements working
in harmony. In order
for this to happen, all three must get what they need. Throughout the
year, I have been sharing these elements with you. It is only now that I am
able to categorize them for you.
This may
seem like putting the cart before the horse, but we are so accustomed to
thinking of wellness as a “healthy body,” that I felt it necessary to undo this
thinking before actually teaching the lesson.
I do believe
it was that great philosopher and teacher Jesus Christ who said that you can’t
pour new wine into old wine skins.
But I
digress, okay, not really. Anyway, here is a simple way of looking at what you
need on a daily basis.
Inspiration---your spirit must be uplifted and
reignited on a daily basis. We know what we should do, but it the flesh, our
humanity our age and ego that sometime get in the way. The Spirit is the Being
and has no physical needs; yet we require a connection to one another other,
nature and the Source if you will, in order to reflect our own Divine nature.
(If you are just joining us, you may want to go back a few posts. I’m really
not that deep but I have played deep on TV.)
Dedication—your mind needs to be committed to a
cause, a purpose and activity so that it is can enlist the body to do the work.
This dedication can be in the form of a belief, mantra, activity or exercise
done habitually. If you want to break a habit, you must create new and healthy
ones.
Perspiration—is just a rhyming was of saying “hard
work.” You can’t just mentally commit to something you must put the effort into
it as well. The effort can be getting up daily to exercise or write a post.
Every day, I hear from readers who give me inspiration by sharing how and what
they are learning and doing. This inspiration enables me to remain dedicated to
getting up and that dedication makes me roll over, stretch, get up and make my
bed and then sit at my desk to write. I may be tired or dealing with other life
issues, but the cycle keeps me coming back to my desired results. It also keeps
me away from the thoughts, patterns and behaviors that are not conducive to wellness.
Everything is energy
and we are all connected. I hope you know that your effort to be well makes the
world a better place.
Be you, be well, be an inspired,
dedicated and hard-working Being.
I love you

This is a great & very well timed entry that ties into Day 185 that helped hone in on what may be the trigger & or behavioral tendencies. Now, this entry hones in our individual solution to the problem. Also, nice groundwork for the eventual inevitable future "maintenance" period. But for now, on the current journey, this Inspiration+ Dedication+ Perspiration= Results formula is right on point & on focus. Thanks!
