Once you have sorted out your thought processes and replaced any self destructive behaviour with healthy behaviours that enhance your well being, a whole new world will open up to you. As your feelings of wellness improve, your self confidence will rapidly rise.
When your attitude has been adjusted and you are seeing the results of including healthy behaviour into your life, you will find yourself with more time available to you. This is time that was spent worrying and stressing over your lifestyle and health as it was before.
It is then natural to look inwards and begin to examine matters of the heart and soul, or your spirit. This is when you start to ask yourself hard questions about your heart's beliefs. Are you happy with the path that you have followed through your life? Are you at a place where you can make some different choices? Would you feel comfortable if you followed these new paths?
This transition can be very important for members of the baby boom generation. We were brought up in relative luxury and taught from an early age to work and play hard, and never allowed time for introspection. As we enter our later years, it is normal to start looking back at your life so far and wonder if there are any changes that can be made to make our lives better. It is very much the baby boom generation who are driving the current interest in wholeness and well being.
If you are now thinking straight and your body is in good shape, you may wonder why you even need to bother looking inwards. True peace of mind comes from balancing all three states. The great thing about true wellness is that it allows the spirit to roam free, similar to letting a bird out of a cage. It allows your spirit to soar without mental or physical limits to the top of your potential. Being in good shape allows you to reach your true destiny.
