Being Healthy Means More

It took me a while to realize that "being healthy" was more than just a number on a scale or a number on my jeans. It was more than just the type of food I put in my body and what I was doing to exercise. That something more is the spiritual. Without it, I believe, you aren't completely healthy.

There's something that happens when you are feeding your soul. Attitudes are more positive. Days are brighter. Smiles come easier. You are more prone to loving yourself and caring for your well-being.

For me, I find solace in reading from the Book of Mormon. I'm not perfect at reading this daily...I wish I was. The words feed my soul like no other book has ever done...and I love to read!

I have also found that if I take time to pray and meditate each day, it does wonders! I don't know about you, but I need that quiet time from the noise of the world...even if it's just a moment!

I guess this has been on my mind a lot because I've been slacking at feeding my soul these last few weeks. I know those moments when I don't want to read or pray are the moments when I need it the most!

I have these fitness challenge groups that I do that range from 10 days to 60 days, and I love them. They have definitely helped me along in becoming healthier. But what I know I need to do is challenge myself, again, to feeding my soul every day along with the daily mini challenges that the groups have.

I know a lot of you are super busy, too, so how do you find the time to feed your spiritual self? And what do you do to nourish it? I am always looking for new things to try as I like change! :)
