 Adrian Pilgrim -【Just do it !】Romans had a saying that goes: "mens sana in corpore sano". It translates from Latin as "a healthy mind in a healthy body". Taking good care of your body nurtures a healthy mind. The connection between mind and body is so profound and runs so deep in us that the way we treat one of them reflects directly on the other. Taking care of our body is one of the best way to clear and keep our mind and emotions at peace and in a healthy balance! | |
