Prof and class, physical,
psychological and spiritual wellbeing is very important to most people, especially
if you are a holistic healthcare professional. There are many of us that wish
we were in better shape and most of us wish we were in better shape in all of
these categories. I myself see my spiritual wellbeing as my most important and
my strongest. I rate it around a 7. Physical, maybe a 5 this is because I work
a ton of hours and really want to work out but with family and work I really
have no time in my day. Psychological wellbeing is also important and
considering I have been in college classes for the last couple of year I would
rate that at around a 6. The goals that
I have set for myself have been long standing in all of these categories, 1 to
get into better shape by becoming more active and quitting smoking. 2, is to finish
my BA in Nutritional Science; which I am getting real close too accomplishing.
And 3, is to talk to god every day in my own way, this would include prayer and
going to church on a weekly basis. To accomplish these goals I have first
started parking at the back of the employee parking lot, which is around a
quarter of a mile from the entrance to my job and walking this every day. Next
would be to continue to take as many classes as I can per term to finish my
degree and 3 is to find some time by my self without distractions to have a
daily chat with the big man upstairs. As I followed along with the relaxation
exercise for this week, I was lost and confused. It was too much for me to take
on and I felt overwhelmed through most of it. I think for me there was to many
aspects going on and too many instruction to follow, I mean seven different colors
was a lot of different meditation techniques and I really was not as impressed
as I had been with the first ones. Thanks Sam
Sam,
ReplyDeleteI can understand the frustration with the exercise this week. I have my "normal" relaxation music that I listen to and this may be part of the issue with listening to the guy speak through out the exercise. Then again my true way I relax in out on the river! I love to fish with my husband. The sound of the water and enjoying the scene that is around me really pulls my mind back to simpler ideas and very calming.
Well done on the aspects of the goals that you have set for yourself! I have to take it slow and manage the physical issues on going.
We should all take more time to allow that talk with the man upstairs to help with the struggles we face each day.
Ahh...time is of the essence of man (or woman)...that allows us to recharge and can be a stronger person inside so that we can project this on the outside.
Best of luck in your new endeavors!!
