Kingdom Fitness 2024 Edition/Life at 40 and Beyond... Healing Your Soul In Your 40's

The health of our souls is essential to maintaining a healthy and holistic life. We are part spirit, part soul and part body; a triune being. Our souls are comprised of the intellect, the emotions, the conscious and the memory. Some would argue that the will and conscience is, also, a part of the human soul, but I have discovered over the course of time that our will and conscience is a part of our human spirit.

It is so important to have a healthy soul. It impacts so much of our lives. Maintaining a healthy soul free from the peril and stress of the outside world requires daily and weekly maintenance.

This daily and weekly maintenance is compromised of meditation, open and honest communication within ourselves about ourselves (the man or woman in the mirror so to speak), being intentional about reading literature on soul health and learning how to fix yourself when you are imbalanced. People may see our strengths and weaknesses from time to time, but no one should know the condition of our souls better than us.

The human condition is the state of your soul. God wants us to prosper in our souls (3John 1:1). What good is it to prosper outwardly, if you are inwardly falling apart? Fix your soul first.

It is possible to have a healthy soul. However, you have to want a healthy soul. If your soul is unhealthy, it is only a matter of time for it to show outwardly.

Center. Collect. Regroup.

Center your soul. Collect your thoughts and emotions. Regroup, and move forward.

Don't allow others soul disturbances to affect your soul health. Awareness and boundaries. If people are having a soul fit, so to speak, back up and protect your space and peace.

People who have bouts of soul fits, love... to blame others for them.🙃 Awareness. Boundaries.

Soul health says, "My well-being is more important than your soul fit." Get out the way. Move in the direction of peace. 

People who suffer from soul fits love... to get others off balance and worked up. Awareness. Boundaries.

At age 42, the practice of awareness and boundaries is so important to me. Intentional and analytical thinking is as well. Think it through. Think, and listen before you speak.

Be in control of your soul not the other way around. Your soul yearns for balance. Well, give your soul balance.

Practice soul awareness throughout the day. Check in with your soul. See how you are handling stress, your thoughts, your emotions and the people, places and things impacting them. Make whatever adjustments you need to make to keep your soul healthy.

People wonder why their lives are imbalanced and sometimes chaotic. It's because their souls are imbalanced or maybe those around them are imbalanced. If you are constantly reacting, agitated or easily angered over everything, it's because your soul is imbalanced or those around you are imbalanced.

Sometimes, we disconnect from the very people and things that bring us the greatest peace and joy, while we stay fully connected to the people and things that bring us the greatest distress and stress. We all have done it. We have all lived in dysfunction that we called normal.

Detox your soul. Start new habits of a healthier normality. Sometimes, we pattern what we have seen growing up, only to carry on the abnormal behaviors that block our view of what really is healthy and normal.

So, how do I detect if they are the problem or if I am the problem? Well, people may cause our sadness, frustrations and challenges, but if the room is peaceful and harmonious, and everything is thrown into chaos or people are constantly tense around you... It's you and not them, boo.👀 I know. I had to say it.

And being the problem causing problems is not a good thing. To be the constant cause of unhealthy thoughts, emotions and interactions is a sign of an unhealthy soul. Be one with your soul and let go of whatever or whoever is causing you to be a reactor. 

Soul health says, "I am at one with myself. I am at peace with myself. I love me enough to refrain from anyone or anything that disturbes my peace."

This is just me though, after 42 years of journeying through life. I know what my soul can and cannot handle. Everyone is walking at a different pace and are at a diiferent stage in life. However, being in my 40's life's grace for my soul has become for sacred, more precious and more meaningful to have a healthy soul.
