However, again with this audio stuff, it's just not my thing. I have to really put myself in an environment where I can truly rest my mind and try to pay attention to what the audio is asking of me. Truthfully, I want to get this work done quickly, so my fiance' and I can enjoy ourselves on our boat later on this evening. But, when I go to get massages, I plan on being relaxed and not rushed, and there I can truly listen to my thoughts and let myself go. But, during the work week when I have a million things I want to get done and this Kaplan stuff on top of everything, I can't really get into these audio brain practices.
When I think of connecting spiritual wellness to mental physical wellness, the first thing that comes to mind is happiness. I don't know why, but it does. The biggest term I like to use when I think of spiritual wellness is peace of mind. I think that people who are truly engaged and intune to their spiritual side have more peace of mind and all around just happier people. Maybe because it gives them a boost of confidence and they feel there is a higher power looking out for them, I don't know. But, these people tend to be more confident and probably try to live healthier lives which is related to physical wellness.
I don't really have that much of a spiritual side. I was forced into religion as a young girl, and I didn't like that sense of pressure. Then of course, like many would say, "why does such horrible things happen to such great people?" Those kind of thoughts also has me questioning spirituality. However, I do enjoy life and I enjoy living on this planet. And even without spiritual wellness, my physical wellness is pretty superior. And, I live a happy life everyday.

I think it's really bold of you to make statements like you have about your lack of spiritual wellness and being content without it. I respect what you are saying, and I can understand your "why do bad things happen to good people" may I just say this to you, bad things happen to bad people too, it's called kharma, of which I am quite fond of, I even have it tattooed on my chest lol. However, it is not my intention to persuade you with religious jargon, which I hate anyway, but simply to say to you, it can get lonely relying only on yourself or those around you, and at the end of the day, you are the only person who is going to be around for the rest of your life. It wouldn't be so bad if there was one other person you could count on to be there with you, that person, if you choose it to be, is God. There have been so many times when He was literally the only person around for me, and without Him to talk to or cry to, I might not even be here today.
