Special Edition of Frontiers Newsletter Oct'17: WORLD MENTAL HEALTH
WORLD MENTAL HEALTH
This is our month.
Our minds are there to take care of both our body and mind. May you find a useful tip or two from this month's Frontiers Newsletter, a few of these are from my other blog sites, Full Circles: Reflections on Living, and Mind of Health: Cutting Edge Updates for Clinicians and Patients, Bridging the Divide Between Mind and Matter
And may we all lean in closer to each other,
at the riverbed of emotions;
in our conversational nature of reality.
What's most personal, is universal.
Happy World Mental Health!
Blessings,
Daryl
My feeling is that the concept of creativeness and the concept of the healthy, self-actualizing, fully human person seem to be coming closer and closer together, and may perhaps turn out to be the same thing.
