Pillar 4 – Active Learning

Continuous learning strengthens our brain. When we engage our minds in a new endeavor the brain generates stronger synapses and connections. Activities like starting a blog, building a website, learning a language, discovering art and music, learning to play a musical instrument, engaging in online computer games, traveling, cooking, and others are healthy for the brain. How satisfied are you with your current level of Active Learning? 

Pillar 5 – Meaningful Intimacy:

Intimacy relates to physical, emotional, intellectual, sexual, and other types of relating. It’s about how close you feel to someone and builds when you speak to someone, get to know them, feel empathy for them, and open up to them.

How satisfied are you with your current level of Meaningful Intimacy?

Pillar 6 – Managing Thoughts & Emotions (T&E):

Positive T&E can include amusement, wonder, gratitude, spirituality, optimism, interests, joy, love, trust, prayer, confidence, contentment, laughter, and many others.

Negative T&E can include anger, humiliation, embarrassment, guilt, regret, distrust, sadness, fear, stress, anxiety, and many others.

Positive T&E give us energy. Negative T&E drain our energy.

At any given time, we have a basket of Positive T&E and a basket of Negative T&E. Which basket you focus on is the one that determines your path.

For Well-Being, the key is to experience a lot more Positive T&E than Negative T&E.
