In sports, we call it 'the zone'. In life, we call it
'flourishing'. In spirituality, it's called 'connection'.
So what does 'connected' mean and 'how' can you achieve it?
a.. Definition of 'connected': a state of harmony with all that
surrounds you.
a.. How you can achieve it: achieve true health by removing all
blocks in your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers.
Let's discuss 'true health' in each of the above layers:
a.. Physical layer: how you eat, move, and think affect your
physical health. In this specific layer, we are interested in balancing
muscles to take pressure off joints, increasing your metabolism to put your
ideal weight on autopilot, neutralizing sources of increased stress on organs,
balancing hormones, and learning about your body and how to care for it.
System-by-system, achieve great health. Begin with the most critical system
and work outward. Or, very simply put, make sure you live in the right
climate, work with the right people, do the right stuff with your time, eat the
right foods, and move your body at the appropriate times, the appropriate
amount.
a.. Mental layer: consciously, you may attempt to think
'positive thoughts' all the time. You may make an extreme effort to be happy,
but deep down, you feel differently. There might be rage, frustration, anger,
or even sadness. You may feel guilty or shame. You might be afraid. No
matter which emotion you are experiencing, there is likely a subconscious
program on repeat that is creating this experience. By clearing your
subconscious mind through reprogramming, you will free yourself from mental
blocks adversely affecting your health.
a.. Emotional layer: many times, our relationships are the best
measure of emotional health. When we feel great, we interact with those we
love in a positive way, exchanging love and admiration for one another; on the
contrary, when we don't feel so well emotionally, it tends to wear on a
household and friendships, manifesting as relationship concerns. How you feel
on a minute-to-minute basis affects your health. We are also meant to live in
communities, so how you perceive interactions with others will also have an
effect on your physical health.
a.. Spiritual layer: you may have some preconceived notions about
God, religion, or nature. Independent of your beliefs exists the importance of
beliefs that serve you and your highest good. In other words, you would be
considered 'spiritually blocked' if you have beliefs that limit your ability to
enjoy your life, feel or receive love, or accept you are part of a greater plan.
Achieve 'connection' by focusing upon yourself. Layer by layer,
optimize your body and life. It may seem like a lot of work at first, but
health is actually our default program. We have to go out of our way to become
unhealthy, but society has made this easy for us with temptations everywhere we
look.
Once you feel your health improving, you'll begin to experience
greater connection. Along the way, you'll have so much fun, which will
reinforce the experience. We live in a world with synchronicity that is
difficult to ignore, belief that seems to create reality, and the ability to
feel as animals in the wild feel.
Yet, most of us are blind, deaf, and dumb when it comes to
interacting with that which is greater than us. Perhaps it's because we've
been tempted to eat delicious (poisonous) treats, watch TV, sit on our desk
chairs in school during critical movement hours, and worry about our futures
instead of trust in the plan.
Independent of the reason why, I challenge you to acknowledge
there's more here than you know; and it might be fun to discover the magic that
exists for us.
Today's thought exercise: what's the best way for you to learn
about yourself over the next 90 days? Would you benefit from keeping a daily
journal with the following categories?:
a.. Thoughts/thought patterns: write positive or negative
thoughts
a.. Food: write what you ate today
a.. Exercise: write how you moved and when
a.. Career/Hobby/Interests: good, bad, and the ugly on
work/hobbies here
a.. Social/Relationships: who did you hang with today, how did
it feel, and what have you learned from the experience?
a.. Climate: how was the weather? Were you in the same location
or did you travel? How did this affect your mood, energy level, relationships,
focus, productivity, eating choices, exercise choices, and schedule?
Or maybe you're someone who will benefit most from drawing a daily
picture that represents your choices and feelings for the day?
No matter what you choose, be sure to keep track as you go. This
way, you can modify your strategy and see better and better results.
And finally, make sure any changes you make for your health are
enjoyable; the point of this is sustainable change that enhances your quality
of life and the level of connection you get to experience.
Sent to you with love, honor, and in service,
Kareem
