Summary:
- Poetic and spiritual literature engages and connects your mind to soul healing in a way that can help you resist the common ‘stumbling blocks’ of mankind such as self-imposed fear, self-imposed stresses and the fear of uncertainty. It all depends upon your efforts to make positive response poetry and positive response action work for you!
- Wisdom: What you mostly focus into your mind, day by day, is what you’ll eventually mostly get!
- This positive response poetry project is especially designed as a day by day guide to help you respond positively to the challenges of ongoing change to your Biological, Economic, Social and Spiritual wellbeing and wellness. Each of those categories is like a quadrant of a wheel. If you do not keep them in balance with positive response action, your “wheel of life” will result in a rough ride. How you take care of and respond to each of those categories yields your quality of life: Poor health habits impacts your Biological health: Not working at skills to serve others impacts your Economic welfare: Not working at the arts of understanding, valuing yourself and others impacts your Social wellbeing and fourth, not refreshing your Spiritual welfare with “positive response” attitudes and habits impacts your quality of contentment, happiness and joy of life and living!
