10 Ways to Stay Well with a Tea Lifestyle

Your being is a complex blend of a physical body, emotions, mind and spirit. Each part is intricately and uniquely connected. When one is healthy, it has a positive effect on the others. Conversely, when one part is unhealthy, that also has an effect on all the others. Finding and maintaining a balanced harmony of health and wholeness between body, mind and spirit is the focus of a tea lifestyle. 

Learn to Listen With Your Body

Your body, mind and spirit are speaking to you constantly. Sometimes, they sing - when life is in balance and peace reigns. Other times, they cry out for attention, letting you know that something in your life is out of whack. When those times happen, it’s important to pay attention. Even science tells us that those patients who are battling a physical illness will heal more quickly when embracing a positive and grateful mindset and a peaceful disposition. However, life regularly threatens to pull this delicate balance of wholeness off-center. It’s in those times that you need to notice what your body, mind or spirit is trying to tell you...and then stop and take action to center and restore.

Your body, mind and spirit are like a 3-legged stool. When they are in balance, stability reigns. When one suffers, the whole thing is in danger of falling over. Adopting a tea lifestyle will help keep harmony among all three, giving you every advantage, not just during a difficult season, but for life.
