Being aware of how things function goes a long way in understanding what makes them work.  Our respiratory and circulatory systems have an operation.  They also have a system in our body of working in operation with one another.  Both are valuable on their own, but in order for our whole body to function they must have an operation with each other.  Strange as it may seem we as human beings also work as an operation. An awareness of our own internal mind operation gives us a clue into what drives us to be in action. The operation of the mind is multifaceted and dependent upon so many outside influence.  It can seem daunting to even begin to take a look under the hood.  If we desire to operate more efficiently and effectively in our own lives taking a look is necessary.  We get to be our own mechanic.  When I think about this, I feel like that.  When I feel like this, I think about that.  What I am thinking about right now is causing me to move in this way, treat someone this way or choose one thing over another.  God invites us to look at the operation of our hearts, minds, and bodies as a unifying experience.  No matter how much we think we can, we cannot separate our mind, heart, and body from influencing one another.  The question is, do we wish to make the best use of the relationship foundation God has laid in our creation or do we want to be at the mercy of it?  We may need to spend some time focusing on one area of operation more than another but as we grow wholly, we can embrace their collaborative function and begin to operate from all three in harmony. Engaging the development of all three is what God invites me to do on our dates every morning.  I may show up in the operation of my mind, body, or heart predominantly but she prompts me to ask what my heart or body’s  experience of my mind is right now.  He wants us all to know the value of each individual operation and the power of aligning the three to be present as the gifts we are to the world.
