Spring is the time when so many of us take the time to consider ways to get fit. We pull out the old methods that worked in the past and try them out again. Often relying on past successes is a good way to get things going in life. If you have a formula for success, you are likely to apply it again with great results.

It sometimes seems like we’re just running the human race, going from place to place in order to fulfill our daily requirements of taking care of our families and making a living. When we’re sick, we take medicine and soldier on; and when we’re tired, we don’t sleep; there’s just too much to get done.
But are we really living? Are we activating that amazing spirit that dwells within the center of each one of us and makes us so uniquely human? If we’re constantly putting others’ needs before our own, then maybe it’s time to get fit, spiritually speaking.
According to Pittsburgh psychologist Nancy Mramor, Ph.D., putting your spirituality first in your life and letting it drive you, mind, body and spirit, will help you reconnect to that part of you where your abundant health comes from. “You might, for example, get a great deal of health benefits from running, but if you also added quiet prayer, meditation, or yoga, you might experience something quite different,” says Dr. Mramor.
