The 27th Wellness

Intentional Wellness, stylized symbol: Smoky Horse Blinders. I am single minded. 

Sometimes a temporary suspension of regular wholesome routine is needed. Urgencies or some projects like cleaning house for company or travel, or finishing tax returns on time. Or big jobs like painting a room. These occasions require full steam ahead. Like a dog with a bone, one does not let go until it's finished.

 The 26th Wellness

Perceptual Wellness, stylized symbol: Half-Full Glass. I am optimistic.

I am biased toward the positive not only because it is pleasanter for ourselves and those around us to be cheerful, but also as a tool to combat the lowering of the black cloud of depression.

 The 25th Wellness

Psychological Wellness, whose stylized symbol is Vivid Inkblot. I am good.

I am one, an individual. There are many but only I belong to me. I seek to understand and to be good. 

I know who I am: my identity is Person, who I distinguish from a beast, then woman. My class is Labor, and my past and that of my family define me. My responsibility is to be what my elders expected of me. My love is my family, my joy is the arts, my passion is my work which is the pursuit of the good life for myself and others, my nature is reclusive. I know my place on the Totem Pole of life and I am proud and satisfied with it. I will have no other. And I am easy with my role among the masses, which is that of a productive member, not in a slavish way, but in a way in which I am talented and, above all, competent and which is fulfilling for me. 

I do no harm --all else is detail. Let it be so.

The person I admire is Carl Jung

** I'm okay, you're okay. **

 The 24th Wellness

Transitional Wellness, stylized symbol: Spangled Acrobat. I am versatile.

I move easily from focus to focus, nimbly laying aside one project and picking up another, an attribute essential to productivity. 

My nemesis is obsessional thought. If there is a problem, a five-minute break may help to free the mind.

The person I admire is Nero Wolfe

 The 23rd Wellness

Imaginative Wellness, stylized symbol: Tinker Bell. I am free thinking.

I am more than creative, I am open to possibilities. This is a human-only quality, the flipside of routine or standardized behavior and programming. I imagine my ideal lifestyle, my ideal workspace. Now, in an exercise in reflection, I walk into it, shrug my shoulders, see how it fits. I invite my mind to flow freely in any direction, to improvise, to associate freely.

The person I admire is Rudyard Kipling

 On Universal Causation

Not everything in the universe necessarily has a cause, I understand. Apparently quantum physics and radioactivity and the creation of the universe may be exceptions.

And we can't seem to bend our heads around infinity. In fact, it may exist only in the abstract, like numbers, or the infinitely divided space between points, never in reality
