Since I believe that mental health can only be obtained by holistic means, I have decided to touch upon the three major components to a healthy person: mind, body and spirit. I find that if my mind is not centered, then I can't accomplish anything. Similarly, if my body is ailing or my spirit is suffering, my whole life gets thrown off balance. It's so easy to concentrate on one aspect of our lives and just let the others anguish...however, it will catch up to us. For instance, if I sit at my computer and work all day without stopping to eat lunch or stretch my muscles, the work that I am trying to do will lack substance.
I think it's especially hard for a person with mental illness to keep this balance. It is so easy to get caught up in worrying about the inner-workings of the mind.
In my search for the shiny red shoes, I plan to take a holistic look at my life-- maybe looking at the big picture will keep me on the yellow brick road...
