My physical wellbeing is on the mend right now as I had once again allowed the winter months to consume me and I let go of my exercise routine. I would rate it at this writing at 5 with little doubt of improving that over the next month or so. I had begun my walking/jog and weight training routine in late March (it was very difficult to get up and out while still dark outside.. can anyone relate?) but I did. About a month later I contracted a bad case of the kooties to include upper respiratory and flu-like symptoms (I will never admit to having the flu because I don’t get the flu ;) and that setback was unfortunate because after 10 days of illness I essentially had to begin again. So that all said, I have a goal to take off the winter weight but more importantly to me anyway, is the getting back that wonderful feeling of using my body physically and being strong. When I approach eating and exercise from the perspective that good food intake automatically results in weight loss and that regular exercise provides that terrific alert and alive mindset, I can get attached to it once again for many months at time.
Spiritually, I am a 7 or 8. I’ve experienced some significant life changes over the past three years leaving me quite reliant on The Divine for help in times of need or when needing comfort. I don’t forget to pray often but I do sometimes for days then I am reminded how good that feels. I know I have a friend in God and always have. Time spent meditating is my goal knowing it will create a deeper connection.
Psychological well being is also on the mend and would be rated only at 5 or 6 just now. This is okay and is an honest response. I am fully aware that what has occurred in the past couple years would’ve taken a toll on anyone. I am on the mend in many ways and try to be patient with myself. I very much look forward to finding rewarding work – what I can finally call my life’s work and I feel blessed that my awareness level is where it is knowing how many people live entire lives in the dark.
My goals for self transformation (boy that does sound grand does it not?) would include all three areas of well being, physical, spiritual and psychological. This is because my goals will address devising a new life’s plan that will include, for once, work that I actually want to do and will be good at naturally, the healing that comes from giving your time and energy to other’s who too need to find the path I’ve already shown to follow, returning and adhering to my meditation and yoga practices knowing full well how far reaching the benefits are as well as their role in my maintaining a needed balance while I work on my inner development.
The activities I am striving to engage in regularly in order to support my process and path to integral health and healing are self education on wellness topics for the purpose of writing, developing and giving public workshops on wellness, meditation in order to help me quiet my mind and body so as to have the energy that my new work will require and spending time on myself with regard to love and trust in a relationship after having met a really wonderful man.
Relaxation Exercise. This can only be described as beneficial. Well let’s see: wonderful, gentle, calming, relaxing, soothing soft, comforting, peaceful, and restful. This voice is familiar to me and I am again reminded to find my relaxation CD’s following my move and make listening part of taking care of myself going forward. If I am able to identify the voice, I will let you guys know. Be well for now, Kathleen
