I am remembering a very particular meme, author unknown, or at least the image did not contain the name of the author, alluding to how difficult it is to recognize our state of mind. It went something like this:
Hello, how are you?
-I’m fine.
Good of good or bad, but you don’t want me to know you’re bad?
-Fine, shut up and give me a hug.
Does the answer sound familiar? I believe that from a very young age we are taught that the right thing to do is not to show our emotions, so we get into a conflict because our heart, our guts, our breathing and our whole body screams at us that we are bad, but our mind is forced to deny any intense emotion that puts our interpersonal relationships in trouble. This is why visiting a psychologist is so important, to learn to express what we feel without being ashamed of it, to let the body and mind integrate and reconcile feeling-emotion-response in a safe space (maybe there are exceptions with unethical psychologists, but that is not our topic today).
When I began to delve deeper into the study of the Six Dimensional Wellness System I realized that there are six key questions that can help us to self-evaluate and thus find answers that will help us generate strategies to achieve balance in our integral health. These are the questions I designed a few years ago:
Physical wellness: Are you happy with your current physical condition?
Mental wellness: Do your thought patterns promote the achievement of your goals?
Family (social) well-being: How are you nurtured by your emotional ties?
Work (community) well-being: Do you love what you do to live in prosperity?
Financial well-being: To what extent does your financial health influence your level of satisfaction and happiness?
Spiritual well-being: Are you at peace with your place in the Universe, does it give meaning and purpose to your life?
The design of these questions inspired by the six dimensions of wellness was born out of the sad recognition that most people do not like the idea of visiting a psychologist. It is difficult to accept that there is still a cultural resistance, a deep-rooted belief that only «nutters» should visit, or that it is only when you have serious emotional problems that you should make an appointment with a «shrink», as some people offensively put it. These questions are not really profound, nor will answering them solve all the problems in our lives, but it is a start. The person who stops to answer them honestly to himself could start a path of inner reconciliation that, with the right counseling, could give him a guide to where he should direct his efforts to move from the place where he is now to a better place, with healthier relationships and clearer goals. If you answer them, dear reader, it only remains for me to wish you a stimulating and challenging journey that fills you with the desire to live and learn.

During the early hours of Thursday, April 7, the Jalisco Congress approved three initiatives in favor of sexual diversity. Photo: Twitter.
Under the slogans «It’s time Jalisco,» «Nothing to Cure» and «Jalisco of Equals,» the State Congress recognized same-sex marriage and gender identity, and prohibited conversion therapies.
In a marathon session of the Plenary that lasted until the early hours of April 7, the local deputies legislated in favor of the fight for the recognition of the rights of the LGTBTTIQ+ community.
With 26 votes in favor, eight against and three abstentions, the amendment to the Civil Code of Jalisco was approved so that marriage will be equal, that is, between people regardless of their gender identity and not between a man and a woman as previously established.
Another of the initiatives voted was the prohibition of the Efforts to Correct Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (ECOSIG) also known as conversion therapies.
This amendment was approved with 32 votes in favor, five against and zero abstentions, in which the Penal Code of Jalisco will be reformed so that those who promote, apply or finance conversion therapies will be fined from 50 to 300 times the daily minimum wage (currently from 4,811 to 28,866 pesos, about US$240 to US$1,440), or with 30 to 100 days of community service.
The third reform approved by the legislators was the initiative to recognize the prerogative of transsexual persons to gender identity, which received 26 votes in favor, ten against and zero abstentions.
The three initiatives were submitted for approval during the 38th extraordinary session of the local Congress which began around 11:00 pm and concluded at 2:00 am, with voting by secret ballot.
Outside the building, sexual diversity collectives celebrated the approval of the legislative reforms as a historic event for the recognition of human rights and the promotion of a «Jalisco of Equals.»

In 2020, the CEDHJ issued a recommendation to Jocotepec for the lack of public policies to prevent crimes of enforced disappearance. Illustrative photo: Courtesy.
Redaction. – There is no strategy for the prevention of the crime of forced disappearance of persons in the municipality of Jocotepec.
As of January 18, 2022, according to the transparency request with official letter number SI/007/2022 of file 140285622000011, there was no strategy in terms of prevention of forced disappearance of persons.
Information was requested on the implementation or design of programs to combat the causes that generate conditions of risk and vulnerability to such crimes; however, the response was negative.
Said document stipulates that, with respect to the actions established for the prevention of the crimes of disappearance of persons, no preventive measures have been carried out, implemented or designed.
The suspension of activities by the state authorities due to the Covid-19 pandemic did not allow activities to be carried out for this purpose.
However, it was claimed that, for the same reason, surveillance tours were reinforced by security forces as a preventive measure, in red spots, not specified, where disappearances could occur.
The State Commission of Human Rights of Jalisco (CEDHJ) issued the recommendation with folio number 6431/2020-IV, where it indicated that there has been non-compliance of public policies for the prevention of crimes of forced disappearance of persons committed by individuals, as well as for sufficient guarantees for the search and location of these persons, and for the attention and assistance of their relatives, since 2020 without anything changing.
This is despite an alarming situation of violence that has afflicted the lakeside municipality in recent weeks, since an armed conflict on March 10, when two policemen lost their lives and two firefighters were wounded.
