Are You Your Physical Body?

This is not a trick question, although it may appear to be at first. Most people who have done any work on themselves would likely answer, "No. I'm not my physical body." But the truth is, on this earthly plane, you cannot survive without your physical body. You are certainly MORE than your physical body, but to deny that you are your physical body is not serving you.

What was the first car you ever owned? What year was it? Do you still drive it? If you were told that you got one vehicle that needed to last you your entire life, how do you suppose you would treat it? Would you get regular oil changes? Put the best fuel in the tank? Take it in for regular tune ups?

I'm sure you see where I'm going with this. You only get one body. It's your space suit. Your vehicle on this earthly plane. It's not all that you are, but it's the only space suit you get this time around.

Now that you're thinking about your physical body in this way, what kinds of fuel are you putting in it? Does it get regular check ups, to avoid bigger issues down the road? Do you do regular maintenance care?

You are not only your physical body, for sure. We'll talk more about the mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies another time. But it's very important not to forget the body that is our vehicle around this plane. Take care of it. It's the only one you get.
