Step 1: Awareness

The first step is to become aware of your spirit.
The human experience is comprised of three parts Body Mind and Spirit. The Body houses the mind and spirit both.

Typically the mind is in control or at our conscience level. Some refer to this as the Ego or Self. This part of us is what operates our thoughts of daily living.

The Spirit typically resides in our sub-conscience. This is the part of us that takes and instant like or dislike to a situation without cause or reason. When you somehow "just know" something is wrong or right. This is what we are trying to bring to the conscience level and then build up from there. All through out the Bible it talks about living in Spirit and not of this world. This is what they are talking about. Living with the Spirit  and not a "flesh" or "world" or in other words the ego.

You need to become aware of where  your spirit is as we start the journey so you know how far you have to go. Find a quiet place where there are no distractions and relax. See how you are feeling and thinking in that moment. Are you at peace, do you feel joy, are you relaxed  or are you feeling like life isn't fair, feeling depressed, sad or bored. Wherever you are this is the starting point of your journey. It's okay to feel and experience the negative emotions. They are part of you as a whole. Feel them and recognize them.

This is where the one book says to start a chart or graph of some kind. Something to help you track you progress. There will be "up" days and "down" days. I choose to journal my journey here on my blog but you may choose  what you have learned in Statistics class to monitor your progress. This is totally up to your own discretion as to how you want to log your process.

Today my Spirit is full of Joy and Gratitude.
