How to Feed the Body Any Spirit
With spring fast approaching, I am preparing for yet another spring clean in all facets of my life. This year is going to be different because I've decided not just to "spring clean", but to make an alteration to my lifestyle, for the better!
Now, don't worry, it's nothing major – so don't freak out.
This lifestyle alteration is so simple. It is all about re-discovering the things of importance and making small changes in day-to-day life to ensure that the health of your mind, body, soul and spirit are first and foremost in your daily decisions.
This all-over rejuvenation was prompted by the story of an inspiring woman who boldly faced her husband's sudden illness with the belief that good would come from it. The health challenge introduced the couple to a whole new way of living, enriched by nourishing from the inside out, eating clean, organic food and drinking lots of alkalised water (praise report – he has since been healed from the two different forms of cancer – that's motivation in itself to always be steadfast in hope!).
Their lifestyle change wasn't about being extreme but instead focusing on the things of benefit first. Indulging in a coffee or juice was not off limits – but the only rule was that they could only indulge when the things of importance came first – like WATER!
More often than not, when we put the things of importance first and foremost, we don't crave the other things that would not have benefited our body anyway.
As I think more deeply about it, I believe that the method of "putting the important things first and foremost", should be the foundation to living our best lives, if you agree…

I urge you to brainstorm some of your own things of importance. What can you prioritise in your life?
When we prioritise, there is no room to be distracted or hindered by things of insignificance. I truly believe that when we make these simple yet powerful shifts in our lifestyle, other things that are toxic for the mind, body, soul and spirit lose the ability to thrive.
The key to doing this successfully is realising that when you make a decision of the mind, the body follows. Take authority and lead your mind first and foremost before something or someone else will.
Who's ready to make life brighter, greater and more beautiful than ever?
Refresh every part of your being this week and beyond. You're in control sister!
