Root cause analysis

The balance between body, spirit, heart and mind is key to recovery. So let me analyse where I have issues, honestly and openly.
  1. Body: 90% ok now. Due to monthly travel for work, my health is not stable. I do lots of yoga and my wife cooks very healthy food. While living in India I became vegetarian, and continue that till date be it that some flexibility of fish and chicken does creep in. 
  2. Heart: OK, lots of love, attention and hugs. Great and caring bond with my sisters and brothers in Holland.
  3. Spirit: OK, my hand lies in His. He leads me. I have great friendships, be it that many live far away in Holland and Australia.
  4. Mind: This needs a clean-up. Work and financial stress, combined with by nature a gloomy view in life makes that I am generally not happy. This is also pointed out again and again in the yearly health check-ups. 
So there you have it. The root cause lies in the mind. 
It's sometimes out of control, landing me in depressions, short-temperedness and bouts of unreasonable thinking. With the loving care of my wife I always recover, especially when seeing how we are blessed with our lovely kids.
