Simplicity - Mind, Body and Soul

Health isn't simply about changing your diet, exercise and lifestyle, its also about connecting the body and soul, feeling the inner you and learning how your body talks and connects with you. There seems to be no better answer as to how this is achieved other than simplicity, take a moment to pause and to simply follow the basics in life.

I have been touched by the life of one inspiring lady who reached an astounding age of 98 years, she was the most generous, hard working and down to earth lady i have known until the day she passed away. She has lived the simple life from working on farms, cooking for her family from a young age, sewing for the needy when she was but in need herself and life was always full of smiles and joy. After all it is the simple things in life which bring happiness and a sense of fulfillment which nothing else can bring. Simple fresh and wholesome foods, exercise, sunlight, family and friends, water and rest, but also a chance to spend time with just 'you' however that may be.

This inspiring lady i have been fortunate enough to know before her passing brings inspiration to me to live as much of a simple and wholesome life as i can and to remember that i am the creator of my life and the caretaker of my body and soul.


I would also like you to meet Maia who i have come across in my internet travels. She is an inspiring 98 year old lady who has been in the Russian Ballet and lives the simple life, still incorporates a daily exercise routine and is a true picture of connection with her body and soul as she celebrates her 95th birthday living independently.


There are so many inspirational people around us, some we may realise and some we may not, but if we open our eyes to simplicity in life we can see inspiration and life in its fullest form where ever we go. Why not make it in your life too? Take a moment each day to be simple, be real, connect your mind, body and soul and realise that true life and happiness is all around you even when you may not realise it :)
