Five Aspects of Mind
Physical. Emotional. Mental. Spiritual. Relationships.
Most people think of their mind as something that lives inside their head. I’ve found it helpful to expand my definition of mind to include these five aspects: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and relationship (PEMSR).
In my vlog and blog, I will be sharing with you how I work with all of these aspects day in and day out.
I will share my failures as well as my successes.
Cultivating a healthy mind through compassion with strength is an aspiration for me, and I intend to move in that direction every day. Really, the blog could be called “Sara trying to create a healthier mind through intention and action each day — the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
What cultivating a healthy mind means to me: for the last 30 years, I’ve been working on how to do my emotions better, how to do my relationships better, how to take care of my physical and spiritual health better. This is not only for my own happiness and well-being but is also to help me serve the people around me and my community better. At the foundation of this has been broadening and deepening compassion for myself, for everyone, for all of life.
