For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
To Set: mindset n. — a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.
The mind is often described as the immaterial aspect of a person that involves thoughts, emotions, beliefs, consciousness, and personality.
It encompasses what we experience internally—thoughts, perceptions, dreams, imagination, and self-awareness.
The physical body/soma is also a literal organic informational system that allows the mind to explore and analyze the external world around us through the five senses of the body.
Through our senses we can explore through sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell.
Each sense produces a personal experience that effects the body from a sense perspective, causing the mind to gather both stimuli and use this stimuli as individual information to form considerations about the external world and what this world means to each individual.

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
