According to Brock, essence is a culmination of our beliefs, personalities, style, morals and self-esteem. It is the way we represent ourselves to the world around us, Brock said. Combined with the physical and the mental, it is what makes us, us . Brock attributes this to a lack of awareness. No one component is more or less important than another, Brock said.
Some people are just more aware of one over another and put more emphasis there.
People must exercise, eat right, watch their habits and lifestyle for their body s health. They must read and learn to stimulate their mind, but it is equally important that they understand and nourish their spirit, Brock said. It is as much a part of us as the other two. Not only do the components comprise us, they contribute to us in positive and negative ways. All three areas contribute to a person s stress threshold, and influence or interact with each other.
