What you feed your mind greatly affects how you feel, just like what you feed your body affects you physically. What are you going to feed your mind today?! There are so many wonderful things to occupy our minds. There are also many things that can hurt our minds. We must learn to feed our minds with those things that will most bless us such as; giving, family, friendship, scripture, uplifting music, encouraging thoughts, treasured memories and educational studies (reading, writing, math, music, language, art, science, trades, and so much more!) Thoughts influence our feelings, moods, bodies, relationships and our spirits. We need to fuel our minds with loving thoughts to have a higher quality of life. Please keep only the best thoughts in your mind today!
Body;
If I haven't already told you I found a scientific model of healthy eating that follows the word of wisdom right down to "eat meat sparingly!" If you are interested in learning more I recommend the book Eat To Live by Dr. Fuhrman. In it he explains what to eat, how much, and why. Basically you will find that your body needs a lot of fruits and vegetables and limited amounts of wholesome grains, beans, nuts, and seeds. Foods he suggests to include daily are; Greens, Beans, Onion, Mushrooms, Berries, and seeds along with what I mentioned previously. These are super foods for the body. This is what I am striving for each day since I started this lifestyle challenge. It is not always easy because I am used to eating sugary, processed, and fatty foods but it feels amazing and I have been losing weight and gaining energy!!
Spirit;
Ponder life. Mary and Martha were both doing good things when Jesus told Martha, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." Luke 10: 41&42. When we take the time to feed our spirits it will never be taken away from us! There are countless things we can do with our time. We have been counseled to pray always, study the scriptures, ponder, and to love God and all men. These will be our treasures in heaven. I hope especially at this time of year, as busy as it can be, that we will take time to feed our spirits! This is always a great place to find spiritual food; https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng&control=true
