mental and spiritual wellness first

Mental Wellness first! Are you having a hard time sticking to your diet, exercise or healthy lifestlye? 
 ​

     Why am I not writing about exercise and diet? I’ll get to those topics in due time. There is a reason why I have only been writing about mental and spiritual wellness…
            Before we can work on our physical bodies through diet and exercise we must make sure our minds (how we think) and spirits are right. If these are on shaky ground, it will be harder for you to keep the weight off, change your lifestyle, be healthy physically, keep that job or even get your dream job, keep the relationship going, achieving that dream, etc. How we think affects us physically and mentally. Our minds are powerful.
            That is the reason why I have been doing these types of posts so far. I want to make sure you are healthy mentally first before we start on the body and being able to make that lifestyle change towards a healthy abundant life.
            Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) says  "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
      How we think, what is truly in our hearts comes out through our behavior. If we are constantly thinking negatively about ourselves, other people and life in general, it is shown in our actions and lifestyle. If we are mostly thinking positive thoughts about ourselves, other people and life, that is shown in our actions as well.
            Getting our mental wellness on the right track will take time, prayer and determination. Then you can begin getting the other parts of your life in gear.
