Just that
Keeping our body and mind healthy is a priority for all of us. But how exactly do we do that?
To maintain physical health, we must be mindful of what we eat—choosing food that nourishes and energizes. Poor food choices can lead to illness and discomfort. To maintain mental well-being, we must be equally mindful of what we speak. Words have the power to build or break relationships. Thoughtless communication often triggers conflict and robs us of peace.
So, before anything goes into your mouth, ask: “Is this food good for my body? Will it energize me?” And before anything comes out of your mouth, ask: “Are these words kind, necessary, and thoughtful? Will they support or damage my peace and relationships?”
Our tongue helps us eat and speak. If we learn to control it, we gain the power to care for both body and mind. If you want to master your well-being, control your tongue, just that.
- Do you pause to think before you speak or eat?
- When was the last time you chose food or words that truly nourished you?
- What small change can you make today to honour both your body and your relationships?
