Did you notice how many of the causes and effects are mental and spiritual?  We are 3-part beings: Body, Mind, and Spirit.  We are kidding ourselves if we think that our spiritual and mental-emotional health have nothing to do with our physical body.  We are 3-part beings and one cannot be disconnected from another.

Here at our office, we believe in finding the cause of health struggles.  Primarily, our level of health is dependent upon our mindset.  We reap what we sow.  Are your physical habits supporting what you say you believe about health?  Challenge yourself this week to first notice where your mind is.  What are your thoughts?  Are they sowing life or death?  Are they positive or negative?  Beneficial or detrimental?  Do you believe your body can heal and be well and if so, do your physical habits lines up?

You hold the keys to your health.  Be intentional about your thoughts and words and watch your health, physically, mentally, and spiritually. THRIVE.
