To remember

Have tools in your awareness => improve your mood + ease your anxiety

> practices boost immune system + improve our emotional + psychological health.

Committing to service of development of a relationship with an intelligence present within us > greater than our own = relating more deeply to our inner nature

In times of serious stress like a pandemic, turning inward spiritually, connects us outward, bringing calm and comfort

 

• Spiritual Meditation/Prayer
  • paying attention to our inward self + inner voice > “introvert,” “extravert” and “synchronicity => real inner change, genuine achievement of a new attitude.
  • aim of the unconscious: the further filling out of ourselves; an increasing completeness in the unique being that we are.
  • Anima or Animus > our inner opposite sex figure & soul guide
• Second Voice
  • practice listening for your second, more rational thought
  • have a second thought => giving a more helpful + accurate option
• Exercise, Diet & Good Health Practices

  • Exercising creative pursuits + talents => spiritually connected.

Fully live in the moment + feel gratitude for being alive.
