Nourishment is commonly connected with the body and the food we put into it. However, a holistic approach to nourishment encompasses nourishing your mind, spirit and soul as well. Nourishing your whole being.
Nourishing the mind
The mind is the tool that enables us to interact with this material realm and function in it, executing the daily tasks and routines. The best nourishment for the mind is to get itself to work out of it’s comfort zone on a regular basis.
Like any muscle that is made to work incrementally higher than it’s existent limit, the mind becomes stronger and sharper when made to think out of the box, different than the mundane routines, on a regular basis.
When made to think in unusual ways, the mind seeks to gain new information and learns new ways of utilising that information for it’s benefit and growth. This is exactly why, it is imperative that we push ourselves out of our comfort zone almost daily.
Nourishing the spirit
The spirit in each one of us is a part of the whole, the Universal Spirit. The best nourishment for our spirit is it’s connection with the Spirit (with a capital S). This is where the importance of a daily spiritual practice lies.
A spiritual practice cannot be defined since it is something very personal and unique. Any act or situation that brings us into the present moment, keeps us there and clears the mind so we can observe with detachment, is a spiritual practice. It could be meditation for some, simply listening to music for others and crocheting for yet others. So, find out what is a ‘spiritual practice’ for you and schedule in time for it in your daily routine.
Nourishing the soul
Our soul is really who we are. More than our personality, our soul is the most authentic essence of who we really are. Hence, the best nourishment for the soul is to allow it to be who and what it is. When we’re made to be someone we’re not, live the life that is not ours, our soul is crushed.
It takes courage, in today’s world, to be who we really are however, that is one of the most powerful and empowering acts. Accepting who you are, loving who you are and believing in yourself for being who you are – these are the ultimate superfoods for your soul.
Nourishing the whole being
To nourish our whole being, we need to eat most natural foods, strive to experience the new, connect with the Spirit and be our authentic selves – every day. How to achieve this?
When we connect with the Spirit, we realise who we really are in this human existence. When we honour who we are, it is easy to challenge ourselves to go and grow out of our human comfort zones. Our connected spirit, honoured soul and stretched mind can then support us make wise and informed decisions about how we nourish our body.
The nourishment comes full circle. Accepting and loving ourselves unconditionally is essential for the nourishment of our souls. Self-esteem is an intrinsic part of this puzzle.
If you struggle with low self-esteem, how about a self-esteem tool-box to give you a self-esteem boost?
