For the soul:
I have a favorite restaurant. Do you? When I go in there, I just don't recognize myself. Somebody else has just jumped into my skin! But that person is ordering foods that I do recognize. It's a lot easier to stick with a life-giving diet as long as I stay out of that restaurant.

Every retreat deals with that verse as well. We care, but we don't care.
