Nourish Yourself

 You Are What You Eat

We focus these days on eating clean, or vegan, or vegetarian, or keto, or just plain trying to eat a little healthier.  And while it's important to feed the Temple, the body, the good stuff it just as important or even more important to feed or better nourish our spirits and minds.

We consume so much junk food when it comes to entertainment.  Is it violent video games, movies, music, news, reality television, and social media.  All of these of wonderful instruments when used and consumed properly.  

But we must choose wisely.

Just like when we choose to eat more fruits and veggies instead of a stream of fast food. We need to ingest, watch, view the good stuff when it comes to entertainment.  The violence and negativity suppresses our immune systems and more importantly impacts our psyche or spirit. The barrage of negativity leads to crankiness, anxiety, and stress. Try enjoying more upbeat entertainment,  or reading uplifting material, or simply just disconnect from it all.  Yes, turn it off.  The silence, quiet, and solitude is an elixir and will wash over us like a healing balm. 

And remember the Bible or other spiritual texts.  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  Choosing our words thoughtfully, kindly, and lovingly to ourselves and others will help us feel lighter, refreshed, positive, and hopeful. 

Give it a try.  And just disconnect from the negativity.  What you think is entertaining a MMA fighter breaking a leg, or the reality show screaming and constant arguing, or the movies with the shootings, violence and mayhem are not reality.  

We create our own realities.  We are what we eat. 

Try being more mindful and thoughtful of what your Spirit consumes and when you do feed it the good stuff what how your Spirit soars, your mood improves, and your feel lighter and happier.  You won't need the medicines, the alcohol, the drugs, or other things to "make you feel better".   

You will find that when nourished properly you have everything you need. 

 God Bless.
