Tracks for the Journey is a channel dedicated to your emotional and spiritual well-being. I’m Larry Payne, the host, and I’d like to explain in more depth how you can benefit from joining me on this life journey.

My Tracks for the Journey program utilizes great resources to enhance your emotional and spiritual well-being. Progressive Christian spirituality is founded on God’s essential love, all-pervasive presence, collaboration with all creatures to create the future, and connections to all faith traditions. Another vital resource is Positive Psychology that enables people to thrive. I also use history to give breadth to our explorations. These sources interact with my 50 years of professional experience as a pastor, hospital chaplain, and licensed counselor.  

All of us want to have emotional and spiritual well-being. What is that for the TFJ program? I think it begins with self-awareness, the quality of knowing your thoughts and emotions. This is more than looking in the mirror to see if your hair looks good! Think of self-awareness as looking in the mirror for your hairstyle and then asking, “Why do I want to look good today? What am I feeling just now that affects my choices?” 

Well-being also means having quality relationships. Humans are social beings. Everything we think or feel is impacted by our social context. It’s important to build connections of love, trust, support, and empathy that promote our well-being. Yes, your hairstyle is a cultural expression, either to fit in with the current style, or maybe to do something unique and edgy. 

One more area of well-being is spirituality. Well-being here is living with high ethical values, such as integrity, justice, empathy, and love. For many, this involves engagement in a vital faith tradition that promotes these values and inspires action. And you guessed it, your belief sysemt influences your hairstyle!
I hope you will be a subscriber to the channel. You can also find more resources on my website, www.tracksforthejourney.com. Join the discussion and keep up with the latest news on the Facebook page of the same name.
