That is what I was telling myself this morning. "Train your mind, Jenny. Teach yourself how to make the right choice. To make yourself think the right way. It's all mind over matter."
But what happens when your mind isn't in it? Be it because of hormones or the weather or whatever dang thing can affect our moods...
And then I realized. The missing part of the equation.
Soul.
Soul over body and mind. Living from our soul, our heart. I think this may be the secret to intentional living. The very intentional living that I talk about so much, but have a hard time of practicing as much as I preach it.
The soul loves life. The soul loves spending time with the people that are the most important to us and that fill us to the top with soul feeding moments.
"If our "cup" is full with good things--our family, people that challenge us to love, creativity that inspires us, reading that moves us, etc.--there isn't room for anything else. If we choose to make time for those not-so-great things, something good must spill over to make room. I'm stingy with the good in my cup--I'm not letting it spill over." --Kelle Hampton (Feb 6, 2013 blog post titled "Enjoying")
For me, "cup" = soul.
And these souls? The moments I live with these souls are the ones that fill me up with
I plan on making my soul happy. Not my mind, because it will have its bad days. And the body can be hard to control as well. So, I'm going to focus on filling my soul with greatness so it can trickle over to my mind and body.
Then my mind and my body will just need to get with the program.
