Wow can't believe the semester is over already. I am looking forward to the semester off. Looking back to unit 3 on how I rated myself I gave my physical well-being a 10, spiritual a 7, and psychological a 4. Now I would rate my physical at about an 9, spiritual about the same, and psychological a 7. I think they physical went down because I have been a little lazy this summer. I haven't wanted to drag the kids to the gym everyday.
Spiritually I have implemented some practices, but not like I want to. Psychologically I had the greatest improvement. I went from a 4 to a 7. This has been due to subtle mind and a lot of yoga, along with positive self talk. I don't let things get me down the way they used to. I am able to replace the bad with the good.
I feel like I have accomplished in each area everything that I set out to do. In my final project I listed very specifically how to maintain each area. I just have to keep practicing. I really want to attend the meditation center located here in Dallas. Its free once a week too!
Physically I have lost about 3 pounds even though I cut down the working out some. I have shifted from doing so much traditional exercise to yoga and pilates. I guess really thinking about it I haven't dropped that much from a 10. I still like the way I look and I feel good. Spiritually I have to work on that loving-kindness. The more I have practiced I have been able to turn the love inward. I look at myself everyday and instead of tearing myself down I say something good that I like about myself. Psychologically I implement yoga and subtle mind as I listed before. I really connect with these practices.
When I first started to take the course it was overwhelming and I was lost at times. However, when the class began to evolve so did I. I feel better and I look at life and other people in a more positive light. The best thing I got out of the class was the subtle mind exercise. I was having a horrible time sleeping as some of you know. When I learned how to let me mind wind down and relax I began to be able to sleep. I notice that when I didn't do that, I would wake up in the middle of the night worrying about everything, sometimes what I thought to be random. I hope to take this knowledge and share it with others. I have already started with my own family and even my doctors. I have been surprised by the doctors positive reactions to the practices that I perform. They all seem to have read studies to support my claims. Very exciting!
It was nice to meet you all. I am sure I will see you in other classes. Good luck with your journeys!!!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was overwhelmed when I started this course too. Sometimes I didn't think I belong in this class because it seem everyone had a more positive outlook on life where I had hardly none. Now I feel I have grown because of this class. I can only pray that I can keep up with the exercises with all of them but with the subtle mind the most since this is the only one that keeps me in check with my thoughts.
I'm glad I've got the chance to get to know you and much love and respect on your path within Health and Wellness

That is a wonderful gift to learn at such an early age...God bless you always...angie
Thx guys! I means so much to have people tell me how I have helped them in their lives. I don't get a lot of that in my real life. I am searching for a community to connect with. It is hars where I live because everyone seems kind of stuck up. I guess I need to just dive in and see what is out there. I know that not everyone here is like that. I just need to keep looking.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why your physical rating went down. I find that during the summer it is harder for me to exercise because I want to be outside reading or I am constantly on the go with my family. I know that your physical activity will go back up. Great job throughout the term!
