Usually meditate outside, as it offers a greater array of discomforts / comforts. Can't beat that 105 degree Fahrenheit sun. (I do drink water before and after tho).

I feel like I was very fortunate in one sense, because I've seen basically every stage of the spiral in my family, up to green (even when they were all adults). Allowed me to climb up the spiral a bit quicker, I think : Sister and brother 1 were orange Father was pretty solid blue Mother blue / orange Brother 2 with severe schizophrenia was basically beige Brother 3 was kinda red as he was quite violent Brother 4 was an interesting mix of beige and green as he also had schizophrenia Me the hippie. -- Also friendly reminder, to keep other models in mind other than spiral dynamics, it is not cosmic law ^.^

Move. Such an action will reset the brain (partially). Mental illness in general is tied to location more than most people think. Edit: If you are severely or moderately depressed I wouldn't try such a move, but if you think you can handle it and/or that you could have a good support system, it could be very worthwhile.

FIFA football games and wars both feed off the same roots - i.e., the "us v. them" mindset, which makes them slightly disturbing spiritually. You could say that the only large difference between them is that people are smiling in one, and frowning in the other. Nominally they are supposed to be about world unity and friendship, but then you have state sponsored doping (as in Russia during the Olympics). I'd like them a lot more if they embodied the spirit of world unity and ambivalence towards winning or losing. And if players didn't beat each other bloody. Remember, the concept of points and score carries the connotation, this team is "better than" the other. Almost inevitably. I'd prefer reading fiction as it increases empathy with others and increases the total number of world perspectives rattling in your brain.
