Mood:  a-ok

• You have a good night's sleep
• You can relax after work
• All the systems in your body seem to be working properly without pain or strain
• You feel energetic sometime
• You take needed vitamin/mineral supplements that help you

Mentally, you feel good when:

• You engage in meaningful work and play
• You're exposed to art, music, movies and literature that you enjoy
• You remember good things in the past
• You are in good communication with those you care about
• You are able to laugh, cry and get emotional about the human condition
• You learn something new everyday

Spiritually, you feel good when:

• You can help others in different ways
• You can relieve someone's pain
• You make progress in the game of life or some other game
• You connect to a higher power and help humans
• You can stop negative energies, emotions, thoughts from entering your body and the bodies of others
• You can permeate your body and the bodies of others with positive energies, thoughts and emotions
