keep the body in good health


"To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear."
- Buddha


The idea of aligning spirit, mind, body, and money came to me–I know it was not an original thought and that it was placed inside of me to share with the world. The connection between spirit and mind and body is undeniable, and while body comes later in the alignment formula, it is no less important than spirit or mind.

As Buddha taught long before I was given the gift of my message, if your body is ailing and not taken care of, your mind will suffer, and the alignment you might have with the Divine through your spirit will be impacted as well.

If you’re not prioritizing taking care of your physical body, don’t wait until the New Year to start with the resolutions that we all know probably won’t last. Instead, plan on how you can make time and energy for your physical body and pick the next Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to start–avoid starting on a Monday or weekend because I feel like those are the easy days to pick to start a new habit, and just like New Year's resolutions, they don’t last. So choose a random day in the week--I think it’ll have a better chance of sticking.

You only get one physical body, and for the most part, it’s hard, if not impossible, to reverse physical ailments that challenge your alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money while continuing to pursue your Authentic Life.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we move into the Christmas season of shopping–although many stores started their Black Friday and holiday sales well before Thanksgiving, and it’s important to remember that not only should our spending for our Selves align with our authentic lives, but so should the spending on others. This aligned spending includes dollar amounts, the things we buy, and who we buy for. In no way am I trying to be a Scrooge and tell you not to spend on your loved ones and...

This is not your typical Thanksgiving Day post, but that doesn't mean I'm not thankful for you and your support of The Daily Notes! I love writing these each day, and I would continue to do so even if no one were subscribed, but the writing is more rewarding when I see people opening the emails, sharing the posts, and responding with their own comments. So on this day of giving thanks, I want to thank you for being with me on my Pursuit of my Authentic Life, which includes these Daily Notes....

“We should try by all means to be as grateful as possible. For gratitude is a good thing for ourselves, in a sense in which justice, that is commonly supposed to concern other persons, is not; gratitude returns in large measure unto itself. There is not a man who, when he has benefited his neighbour, has not benefited himself, — I do not mean for the reason that he whom you have aided will desire to aid you, or that he whom you have defended will desire to protect you, or that an example of...
