 Change is a way of life. It is inevitable for everything and everyone. The process functions with or without our knowledge or cooperation. Our genetics, environment, thinking and teachings control the processes that shapes us. They're dictated by our demands. If we demand more of ourselves as a result, we will gain more universally. Seeking personal excellence with every interaction requires a high level of individual effort and spiritual sensitivity. This will gradually eliminate gratification through comparisons or competition with others. This process will involve consistency over an extended period of time with mistakes, failures and regrouping. Without failures there is a diminished appreciation for success. How do we deal with failures when they are inevitable? Shared (confessed) failures will provide a road to resolution. Any burden (load) we share lightens the effect on one by distributing the weight among others. Is this why "The Bible" admonishes us to confess our faults one to another and pray for one another? Don't we feel relief from getting things off of our chest? The greatest challenge for most of us has been waiting for the visible or tangible manifestation of change. However, change usually occurs within before it appears to manifest without. Isn't it disappointing when others don't recognize our changes. We want them to see us in our new way of thinking and behaving differently. Sometimes no one seems to notice the new refinements we make. It is at this stage that we must realize that it is just as hard to recognize change as it is to change. We should know that we must validate ourselves from a higher standard like the Bible. When working on the inner us, we can no longer depend on external confirmation or approval to feel whole. We can no longer define ourselves by the typical worldly standards tied to success. We must now accept our spiritual uniqueness with the ability to interact without conformity. Learning to trust the process of transformation that never ends is challenging but it is rewarding. It is measured through the adoption of new standards. Are we embracing change? If so how are we dealing with it?

Mental health CAN BE CHARACTERIZED As OUR PSYCHE'S overall well-being. The psyche REPRESENTS the totality of the human mind. THE PSYCHE includES both the conscious and unconscious parts OF OUR BEING. IT affects how WE think, feel, and behave. The word "psyche" comes from the Greek word psykhe, which means the soul, mind AND spirit. THE WORD SPIRIT IN THIS CONTEXT IS DESCRIBED AS THE invisible animating entity which occupies OUR physical bodIES. THERE IS A SPIRITUAL ASPECT TO OUR NATURAL EXISTENCE. OUR POSTS ARE DEDICATED TO EXAMINING THIS LINK. Mental health IS a fundamental part of health and well-being, and it's important at every stage of life. Mental health is the foundation for emotions, thinking, communication, learning, resilience, hope and self-esteem. HEALTHY HABITS ARE INHABITED BY HEALTHY PEOPLE! Habits usually have a negative association. "Bad, " traditionally goes with "habit." Habits themselves are neutral. There really isn't good or bad habits. It is simply an action. What we characterize as good or bad is the motive and/or results of the behavior. Habits are a natural part of our existence. Try forgetting to breathe, blink or swallow. These involuntary attributes are the autonomous habits that our bodies operate in perpetuity. Habits are the glue connecting thoughts and conditions. Habits manifest desires. Here's something most of us probably have never heard before. "It takes an additional habit to stop or overcome an unwanted habit." Habits are hard to remove without being replaced. This is why they have a habit of returning. Some say we can kill a habit. But is that really true? There is no death penalty for habits but they can receive a life sentence. "Good Ones" seem hard to start and easy to stop. "Bad Ones" seem easy to start but hard to stop. Some are mutually easy to stop and start. Very few are both hard to start and hard to stop. Whatever the case, any real habit can be characterized by the "Snap Back Effect" that comes with it.  "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
