Yet day after day Millions of us claim we do not have TIME to care for and nourish our Spirits.
Oh we have time to entertain our minds, at a ball game, or movie. We have time to visit with friends and enjoy eating at their BBQ. We MAKE Time every day to Eat, Sleep, Drink, etc....
So WHY NOT give Time to our Spirits who control our bodies and Fuel them too???
I have made it a Goal this year to Improve my Spirit and Focus on Nourishing it, just as much as my Physical Body. So far I have learned much, become more able to accomplish the things I desire, and able to Pull through Hard things that I know would have been OVERWHELMING and unbearable before. 
Just like with our Bodies we start out as infants unable to do anything for ourselves, we learn each day, by trying new things. and after a Year of life we have come a long way, most of us could sit up, crawl, giggle, eat (put food in our mouths, or hold our bottles) clap, respond to our parents, etc...
By just 6 months later at 18 months, we are walking, talking, playing with other kids, and so much more. Well of course we all know that as we continue just one day at a time eventually we become grown ups who can take care of ourselves and then start the cycle over when we become parents.
So it is with our spirits, if at first it seems wasteful, to do things like Meditation, Prayer, Scripture Reading, taking time alone out in Nature, Serving those who can't serve themselves, Fasting (going without food, or giving up something for a certain period of time) attending Church and learning together the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and of Course many many other ways to grow and nourish our spirits, Then just remember it takes TIME.
It takes Years of practice every single day to see/feel changes, and to be able to look back in 2-4-8 years and Realize just how much our Spirit has grown. How much more able we are to find Joy in our daily life. How much more we are able to endure hardships/trials in our life. And how much more our bodies and spirits act together to Create Happy Healthy Lives.
Yes Eating Healthy is super Important, Daily Exercise is Crucial, getting enough Sleep is Vital, BUT so is Nourishing our Spirits. Which is why we MUST do all 4 of these things and work on them in baby steps each and every day.
So many of us allow our Bodies to Control us Day in and Day out, without even giving it a second thought. When it should be that our Spirits are Controlling our bodies, telling them what we can and can't endure, reminding them that although the situation we are in currently may be rough we can Pull Through and Find JOY again in our Day to Day.
Don't allow your BODY to take charge of your Life and Happiness. Start NOW to Improve the way you Nourish your Spirit, just like I have started to do back in January. I can Promise you, it's Very Very Very Worth it, and YOU will feel so much more in a Good Place and able to Enjoy your LIFE more fully.
