Hey everyone,
This week I’ll be taking a look into
my own life and trying to figure out where I need work in order to become a
healthier, happier woman. Below I am
going to rate my wellbeing on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being optimal
wellbeing.
Physical Wellbeing: 6
Spiritual Wellbeing: 5
Psychological Wellbeing: 6
Physically I give myself a 6 since I
have not been working out since I tore my ACL.
I am not sick, nor do I have any conditions, I just feel that I am
gaining weight and need to get back into the gym after I recover from surgery
so I do not make my health worse.
Spiritually I have been falling behind on my prayer or rituals, and I
really don’t meditate or talk to God/Goddess like I used to. I definitely need to find my way back, but it
seems I don’t make the time. This is where
my psychological wellbeing is affected, because I’m stressing myself out with
work, school, and home life. I need to
take a look at what is a priority and make time for everything so my scores can
rise. If I were to make a goal, I would
want at least 8’s in each but preferably 9’s as I do not feel 10’s is possible
to maintain for a long period of time.
My wife and I are currently in the process of acquiring equipment to
build our own basement gym. This will alleviate
the excuse that I just don’t want to go to the gym or leave the house. I also need to start meditating in order to
find my way back to my faith, as I feel it has become one of the last things on
my list of priorities. In turn I hold
onto a lot of negativity and have nowhere to release it except through working
out. If I increase my physical health,
and make time to meditate and focus on my internal health, then the
psychological aspect will heal itself.
The Crime of the Century was nothing
like I thought it would be. It was
another meditation exercise which asked us to focus on specific colors that
were associated with certain parts of the body.
Throughout this exercise I was calmed one piece of my body at a time,
until my entire being was relaxed. This
is something I can see myself using whenever I need to just get away, or as a
start to getting back into meditation.
Until Nextime!

I actually enjoy reading your blogs it might just be the title but who knows. I completly understand the torn ACL and having a hard time getting back on the horse. I have a torn meniscus but I still find ways to be active dont let anything stop you. If your arm is broke work your legs and vice versa. I hope everything gets better with you I hate seeing people fall shy of who they want to be because of an injury. I wish you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteSuperman geek through and through, lol, and I definitely appreciate the motivation, and needed it!
DeleteIt can be so hard to get "back on the horse" after such a big injury! The first step it wanting to do it! Grab a friend and go for a hike! That way you are having fun while you get moving!!
ReplyDeleteHiking is one of the best things to do here in AK! Unfortunately it's snowing now, but it hasn't been cold enough to keep me inside! I'm thinking about making my pup Marley (American Bulldog) be my partner, haha! She's getting a bit thick through these cold months too!
