The Mind-Body-Soul Connection
Tuesday, 06 November 2012 06:11

treeAt Mammoth Health we’re about more than just addressing illness with supplements and diet. We are also about living our lives to their full potential. We’re about being conscious of what we eat, where it comes from and whether a fair price has been paid to those who produce it for us. And we’re about living a deliberate, full life where what we do makes a difference.

Healthy, vital people are more likely to be happy and when we are happy we have a positive impact on everyone we meet and they in turn leave a positive impact on the people they meet (the ripple effect…).
Our mantra is “Live Better, Because it’s not a Rehearsal and I think we have to constantly remind ourselves of this, stop putting things off and start living the life we want. We keep in mind that we are more than just our physical selves – we are mind, body and soul and together they make up who we are. When our mind, our body and our soul are aligned it empowers us to live optimally; to live fully and to live deliberately and ultimately to Live Better.

Mind
To live better we need to continually learn new things; to challenge ourselves, to broaden our parameters and see things for what they are. In this fast changing world we need to develop resilience and change our mindset to focus on the positives that change brings. All too often we can become so ‘bogged down’ in the negatives of change and the unknown that we forget about the adventure of life, the excitement and the satisfaction of stepping outside our boundaries; achieving and becoming better people.

Body

Quite often it is not until our body breaks down that we fully appreciate the fact that we take it for granted. Most of us don’t value our health until we are unwell. The food we eat, the exercise we do and the relaxation and leisure activities we pursue all impact our body, which in turn impacts the way we think and the way we act.

Just remember that feeling of the ‘morning after’ a big night out - indulging in too much alcohol, junk food and limited sleep. Our tolerance levels are low, our mood compromised. We feel tired, under the weather and in no way open to living fully and optimally. Then bring that back to everyday living and the way we choose to live.
By feeding our body daily with healthy, whole, unprocessed foods (vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fish & lean meats) cooked lovingly, without additives and preservatives, to nourish our bodies, we can have a positive influence on our thinking and our actions.

By making a commitment to exercise regularly and to deliberately set aside time daily to relax and pursue leisure activities shows we are valuing our bodies, treating them with reverence and respect and empowering ourselves to live fully.

Soul

Our soul is essentially who we are; our spirituality and what we value in life. Most people value family and community and the importance of connectedness within family and community. And this is becoming more valued as society becomes increasingly disconnected.

I believe the most urgent issue in our lifetime will be to live sustainably; reduce our carbon footprint and tread more lightly on the earth. I believe that as individuals we can make a difference. It is very easy to perceive problems as so big and global and out of our control that we feel powerless to make any difference at all. But it is truly the decisions and the actions of the ordinary person – you and me - that will eventually force change. I don’t believe that meaningful and lasting change comes from extremists, or from governments. It comes from within communities and how we deliberately choose to live our lives.

The question is… how are you choosing to live your life?

Because it’s Not A Rehearsal
