Whole Body Health....

When thinking about holistic health, I have been quick to shy away from it, because anything that is not of God is not anything I want to be a part of, many people enjoy Yoga, not me, not messing with that, even Yoga for God...something about it just doesn't sit well with me.
anyway, holistic health has had the same effect, not truly knowing enough about it and looking it up online has not proved to be very beneficial, but my current psych class has brought me a definition that I really like, it talks about holistic being wholeness, the whole body, mind, and spiritual health.

In talking about the food that is brought to PWOC on Tuesday mornings we have talked about the high fat, loads of calories, with a splash of fruits and vegetables, I have advocated that we need to encourage our ladies to bring healthier choices. This coming from me, the one to gravitate to the high fat, loads of calories, unbelievably delicious foods. I have said more than once during our planning for the next year sessions "If our bodies are a temple, isn't it our whole body, our whole being?" Our physical health, and our emotional health go hand in hand.
Who am I to "preach" about our physical health being inter connected to our emotional health, and spiritual health when my physical health is in not such a great position.......

So, this evening was the beginning of my new journey, to whole body health, my emotional health is good my spiritual health is great (thanks to God's GRACE!!) now, for my physical health, I am beginning....tonight, 1.6 miles.....how many more to go???
