take care of your body for your soul
“It is necessary to care for the body, not for its own sake, but because it is the abode of the soul.”
-Musonius Rufus
Spirit. Mind. Body.
Don’t neglect the importance of taking care of your physical body—without it, you will not be able to fully live your authentic life.
An ailing body can pull your mind out of alignment with your spirit.
An ailing body may not be able to carry out the activities of your authentic life.
An ailing body may not last long enough to maximize the impact you were created to make.
It’s easy to neglect your physical body.
And it’s tough, sometimes impossible, to reverse the impact of not prioritizing your body.
Musonius Rufus reminds us that beyond the importance of aligning your spirit, mind, and body, it’s necessary to take care of your body because you are not a body with a soul but a soul with a body–put another way, you are a spiritual being having a physical experience, and to have the best experience, your soul deserves a physical body that will allow it to maximize its time and impact while here.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
