I was sitting at work today and one of my co-workers came up to the desk and we discussed taking care of the mind, body and soul. He said "heart" out of no where and I thought to myself, hmmmmmm, makes sense. I don't really know why or how, but it does.
Lately, I've been on a health kick. And I don't mean a Slim Fast, watching calories health kick. I'm talking about an old-fashioned, cutting out the processed food gig. I can honestly say that I feel so much better! I don't eat fast-food, even though its tempting on this campus, and I have cut out every other type of liquids except water and 100% juice. I get weak just like any other person, but when I do I think of the feeling I have been having lately. I just say, "is it worth it to eat that now, and feel nauseous later? Nah its not!" I'll just go back to my room and eat an orange or something!
I have also been in the gym quite frequently. And when I can't make it there, I run. I never thought I would be running out of choice, but I can see why people say they love that "runner's high" that they feel. The Ipod also helps me to get in the zone.
Now to the soul. Man this is one in which I am still discovering. During my childhood I was taught that you go to church every Sunday, regardless of what you did the night before. Now I'm realizing that simply being there is not enough. You have to live this stuff, night and day. You have to study, like you would for an exam that you forgot about in 2 hours, lol. I'm finding that many of my peers simply say they are religious, but couldn't tell you hardly anything from the Bible. I haven't quite come to a conclusion on this one, but I'm trying, and I know I'll see the light one day. Until then, I'll keep reading, and learning.
As far as the heart. Well, that's still up in the air. For now I'll just keep eating my whole-grains! lol
Until He^ let's the sunset on another day, I'll holler!

The funny thing about the soul is that its something that is an internal struggle. And to put it simply, a lot of people are losing when they think they are winning lol.
But overall good stuff, a lot of people take their health for granted until they are losing it somehow...
