What modes am I in for body, mind, spirit?
Body, mind, and spirit are closely interconnected - the health of one component will impact the health of others. When my body is weak and in pain, I more easily succumb to negative thought patterns and moodswings, which then leads me to feel more disconnected and isolated.
Fortunately, this also means that by building a practice to improve the health of one component, I can positively impact the health of another (eg. When I take care of my body by exercising, eating healthy, and having good sleep hygiene, I feel more grounded and positive, and a stronger connection with myself and others.)
