Sometimes the most challenging dimension of well-centered fitness is the Emotional dimension (certainly, for me, it is). I can exercise regularly and eat right (Physical), and prayer, meditation, and journaling help remind me that I have a purpose that exceeds self (Spiritual). I am a professor, so the Intellectual dimension is a kinda my life. The Social dimension is the pinnacle of well-centeredness. The Emotional dimension is, however, the keystone.
I can start the day on track and “well-centered”… then the day starts. Getting the kids off to school, traffic, etc. can quickly throw me off center. Most days, it is a battle to remain positive. It is not impossible. It can just be hard. It takes energy to lift the keystone in place. Once it is there, though, it supports the rest.
The dimensions have to play their proper roles. When they do, everything holds together.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
