I am reminded today how being spiritually fit is directly connected to my physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
I used to believe that being piously religious was the way of spirituality.
However, I practiced my religion for others to see, not to become spiritually fit.
I used religion to try and get rid of my own demons:
fighting them, suppressing them, trying to make sure I was never considered a bad person because of them.
It was not until I faced them, honestly, with humility, and forgiveness that I was able to release myself from them.
It was through a deeper understanding of the Love that is God that I was able to release the demons and forgive myself the hateful thoughts I had about myself.
There were never any demons, it was the beliefs I had about myself which tormented me and created so much fear within me.
After I challenged and changed my beliefs about myself, I was able to find Love and be Love.
I was able to become spiritually fit and live in the Light and Love that is God.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of becoming spiritually fit.
You are Love and Loved.
