Mind Body and Spiritual Balance

The Healthy Mind Platter: What It Is and How to Use It

You can make time for balance without being overwhelmed.

While thumbing through an issue of Mantra Magazine recently, I ran across an article written by Deepak Chopra. The article talked about how many of us live imbalanced lives and how that affects us in mind body and spirit.

He introduces a concept called the Healthy Mind Platter. It a diagram that looks like a pie chart and it shows the seven things we should strive to practice or work on daily. The purpose is to help restore balance in your daily rhythms.

The chart consists of seven areas in which we should strive to achieve balance every day. These areas include.

1. Meditation
2. Sleep
3. Play
4. Downtime
5. Exercise
6. Work
7. Relationship

These areas are all shown on the chart with an equal piece of the pie set aside for each of the seven.
