The Triangle Theory

By feeding one point on the triangle, you feed them all. You can approach all three, or you can take micro steps towards healing by focusing on one pillar at a time. You can go into this with confidence knowing that you are positively influencing the other two points in the mind-body-spirit connection. Keep scrolling to access a free writing exercise.

Grab your journal and find a quiet place to write. Trust what comes up for you with each prompted question and know that you can revisit this exercise as many times as you need.

• List 3 things that feed your spirit

  • example : travel, live music, fried chicken

• List 3 things that feed your physical well being

  • example : yoga, walking, sauna

• List 3 things that feed your mental body

  • example : organization, space/alone time, my dog

Notice that my top 3 spiritual needs have nothing to do with an actual spiritual practice. They are indulgent and at my finger tips. Try your best to keep it real. This is a private exercise, be honest with yourself.

How are you feeding your mind-body-spirit connection? What does this look like for you? Once you’ve taken inventory, ask yourself this - When was the last time you connected with these things? If you frequently feed yourself the things on your list, it might be time to shake it up! Try the exercise again to see what else might come to mind.
