The Spiral Path of WellBEing
The Spiral Path of WellBEing is a visual representation of the philosophy that life is a series of opportunities for growth (represented by an upward spiral).
Challenges, problems, and difficulties are opportunities to increase our self-mastery by: (1) being present and aware of things that trigger us emotionally, (2) observing and reflecting on our pain points until we reach a measure of (3) self-understanding and acceptance, allowing us to (4) move forward from a place of greater empowerment.
When growth does not occur, we repeat the same cycle until we have mastered that life lesson. We humans are complex beings, so while we may have one main path in the journey of life, as triggers arise, they give us additional spiraling offshoots (like branches of one main tree trunk) from which we can grow and learn.
