Take care of your body - your soul needs it!

For years I have struggled to do yoga regularly. I strongly believe in its value, but have not had the discipline to stick at it - the time of day has never seemed right. That all changed this morning. I got up 15 minutes earlier and did a short yoga session as the sun rose.

I know now that I can do it every weekday morning. I am so thrilled to have made the commitment. I have prayed and meditated for 15 years; yoga will become just as pivotal to my life. I want to keep my body flexible and healthy so I can fulfill my soul purpose on Earth.

Balancing daily life and soul purpose

I am in a great place in my life right now; I feel that I am completely on track for achieving my soul purpose. I have identified my on-going challenge which is balancing the details of daily life with the big vision of my life purpose - the two must work together.

How do I do this? By staying focussed on today and letting the future take care of itself. Each day is one step closer to realising my dreams. Daily prayer and meditation helps, as does regular exercise like walking and yoga. Mind, body and soul - all in balance.

Your soul purpose is whatever today brings

I was standing at the kitchen sink this morning, thinking about the day ahead. I will meditate, do washing, make phonecalls, write my new book, see two quit smoking clients, pick up my daughter from school, do yoga, and pray/think often about a friend in crisis.

Then it hit me: this is my soul purpose! Today's activities, which have been 'sent' to me, are my life purpose for today. Everything that happens on Earth is part of the bigger picture - God's plan. So accept willingly the tiny piece of plan you are responsible for today.
