ON BECOMING A WHOLE PERSON
(Part 1)
Another passion of mine is Health & Fitness. My city, Calgary, is known to be
the Volunteer Capital of Canada. In the '90s I was volunteering for a non-profit
Women's Organization and I did a Seminar on "The Whole Person."
So, I will just write a synopsis of my half-a-day seminar here and make this into
a 3-part blog.
The Whole Person
A whole person is said to be a balanced person - balanced in such a way that he/
she is healthy in the three aspects of life. That is, Physically, Emotionally,
Mentally and Spiritually. And, this involves our Body, Mind & Soul. If we are not
fit in any one of these aspects we will not function very well in life.
Physical Health
Our body needs smart nutrition, exercise, fresh air and water in order for it to
be physically healthy. Smart nutrition means choosing the right food to eat so that
every cell in our body will get the right nutrients it needs. There is a Food Guide
that we can follow so we can properly nourish our body on a daily basis.
Smart nutrition and regular exercise go hand in hand if we want to achieve optimal
physical health.
Emotional Health
Medical research shows that our emotions have a major impact on our physical
health - that illness maybe influenced by our emotional state. You see, just like our
body we have to care for our emotional health. When you feel emotionally secure,
you're able to be much more proactive and much less reactive in your life. This
allows you to make smart choices and smart choices make for good health.
Mental Health
Mental health is the state of your intellectual & emotional well being. It refers to
how one is able to cope with the demands and stress of day-to-day living. Most
people will have days when they feel down, become irritated over small issues or
even think that the world is out to get them. If a person's mental health is positive
and maintained properly, they are able to quickly resolve their issues, manage their
emotional reactions and get on with their day.
Spiritual Health
Spiritual well-being means different things to different people. For some,
developing a spiritual life works within a religious context. They go to a specific
place of worhip, study religious texts, and take a active role in their spiritual
community. Today, most people want to feel connected to a Divine presence
in some way. For me as a Christian, I find peace, security & contentment with
my personal relationship with Jesus, my Saviour.
