Hello Everyone,
On the subject of grading, to be real honest with myself, my lowest score would have to be on my physical well being. I have been so busy with life, work, teenagers, work, school, school, and work that I have neglected my physical health. I give myself a 3. My plan is to definitely change this number once I am done with school by using my extra time on little things such as taking a walk, stretching and doing soft exercises then gradually working my way up to a better number than 3.
I am a little higher on the scale on spiritual. I would give myself a 7. No perfect but much better than on the physical area. I am a positive person with strong beliefs and I know that no matter what happens, it happens because it is suppose to be. God has my back and I very, very rarely doubt that. So because sometimes I do, I plan on digging deeper with my church as well as His word which will build my spiritual health.
For the last one, psychological, I give myself an 8. This is my strength out of the three. I am a very simple person, with little to no stress. I love life and all that it has to offer. I believe when I work on my physical well being and spiritual areas of my life, my psychological well being will come together.
With the meditation audio this week, unlike last week, was too much for me. I think that it was not effective for me because I was asked to think about too many different things. I think I enjoy the more simple approaches. At this point, color light therapy is not for me.

Jacqui,
ReplyDeleteI have such a difficult time when someone is telling how to focus. The color items...with the window in the belly, forehead, and the top of my head was just a bit much really...I enjoy the acupuncture to relax. I have done this for many years and find it so much more positive than having someone tell me about some colors...At least you are a bit better than I am on the scales...I have several items that need to be addressed...and as per usual I have put everyone else first...but then I have to remind myself...If I am not in the correct place, physically, spiritually, or psychologically..how can I help others? It only makes sense...awesome post!
Hi Jeni,
DeleteI think that the one thing that we have learned thus far is that everyone is unique and what might work for one person, does not necessarily work for others and acupuncture is your thing. :)

Thanks for being so honest with such a personal blog! I think it must be great to have such confidence in your spiritual and psychological health; and very frustrating to feel your physical well-being is so low. Are you nearly done with school? So you might have time soon to focus on your physical health? While big changes might definitely take some time, I don’t think you should wait to begin small ones! You can’t do anything for yourself or anyone else if you are suffering physically! I think we all lose focus, but it’s important to remember that we deserve the time and attention for ourselves without feeling guilty for it! I agree that once you strengthen your physical health, you will be able to use the strength of your spiritual and psychological health to feel more complete all around. Good luck and be good to yourself!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback! Although we need to focus on all areas, I would much rather be in a good place mentally than physically. Thankfully I do not have any health issues but I do need to work on the 20 pounds I have gained over the past couple of years. I am in my last term so hopefully I can focus more on the physical area in 7 weeks. :)

Jacqui,
ReplyDeleteI am encouraged to know that you have made God to be your rock and you have appreciate what He has been able to accomplish in your life. I also believe that your psychological wellbeing has been brought about by your spiritual side. You also seem to have invested in your children, work and school and those things have taken your time. I believe that you will also be able to take care of the physical and be able to make your life better.
Hi Jacqui,
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you are so strong spiritually and mentally. I know that life has a lot to offer and at times I wish I could just enjoy the moment. I'm working on it and that is what matters I think with most of us, working on it! As long as we are working on it we are moving forward, maybe slowly but we are moving forward. I also believe everything happens for a reason so I don't regret anything that has happened in my life. You have a plan for your physical well-being and that is what matters. I believe because you are strong mentally and spiritually you will succeed in achieving physical well-being!!!

I really appreciated and enjoyed your blog. I think your reflection was very honest and open. I know physically, I am not where I wish I was, and school and work can certainly eat up a lot of time, making it difficult to exercise. After looking on Pinterest, I found a ton of at home, toning exercises that were really helpful. I give it 30 minutes every night before bed, and it has really been helpful.
