Physical Well being = 7
Spiritual Well-being = 7
Psychological Well-being = 8
If I were going to say how I would improve in the above areas:
Diet and exercise for the physical, as I have some weight to loose to get back down to my size 2 for my wedding in 2013!
Spiritual improvement: I don't read many books about anything. I think the one thing I do is go out into nature and reconnect. My family and I go camping at lakes and the desert. During the summer is when I feel the most centered and at peace!
Psychological improvement could be made by me continuing going to a counselor. I have been seeing mine for about 11 years now and he has helped me through so many difficulties.
The nice relaxing male voice asked me to get into a comfortable sitting or laying position, and as it was playing nice slow guitar music I think, asked me to focus all my attention on my breathing, taking deep belly breaths, exhale, relax, to think of a rainbow. We had to imagine our body had a beam coming to it and has 7 rays coming on different spots on our body, with different colors and light beams coming into our body, one at a time, as we took deep breaths.
My body was calm and relaxed through this exercise. I found that the orange color was focused on for me and that is the color of the lower abdomen, I’m going to assume that it was for that fact that I am on baby mode now that I’m getting the wedding ball moving!
Hello Nicole, first congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! I hope it has not begun to add any stress to your life. Are you pregnant now or just wanting to start a family right away? Most brides always want to loose weight for their big day to look beautiful in the gown. Just remember that you are marrying a wonderful man who thinks you are perfect in every way. :) How much are you wanting to lose? I am a trainer so of course I always ask these types of questions. At least you gave yourself a higher score for the physical well being and spiritual. I need to start seeing my counselor again. I feels as though I am losing my mind with all the stressful events going on in my life. I think it is wonderful you feel this is your stronger area.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read a post of someone who was able to relate and get something out of this weeks meditation. I got stuck on the very first one and could only envision the red coming from my tailbone to the ground. I just couldn't get passed this point. LOL, I had babysat my niece prior to completing this exercise and all I kept think about was the rainbow and her unicorns. O well maybe next week I will have better experiences. Again congratulations and many blessings on your upcoming wedding!! :)
No not pregnant yet, we are thinking right after the wedding. Im only looking to get into shape, not so much to loose weight but to have a fit physique. My hardest hurdle is finding the motivation to go to the gym and do it. On top of the fact that my hip starts to hurt like crazy when I do anything more than walk at a fast pace. I have been to a dr and the keep telling me its a sprained hip and to rest and ice it. But I have been doing this for months now and I have seen nothing from it. I can sit for 15 mins, get up and it be incredibly soar and stiff. Any ideas?? hahaha
DeleteHi Nicole!
ReplyDeleteI love that you rated your self so high! That really says a lot about you! No wonder your fiance loves you! :) I like that you get out and connect with nature. I love doing the same thing and luckily living in south Florida I have great weather all year long. Whether it is the beach or canoeing through mangroves, there is always something to do something. Seeing a counselor is a good thing. I actually started to see one last year after my mom died from cancer when she was 56. I thought I could handle it on my own but being that I have no family left it was a bit too hard. Having that ability to talk to someone who is outside the inner circle is a great help.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!!
Im sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my little sister about 3 years ago. I found that going out into nature and doing my grieving out there, was very theraputic. Seeing a counselor has also helped. I fought for 2 years on not dealing with her death, and fought hard! My therapist started to get concerned. I finally broke down and could no longer keep it in. Keep talking to therapist, they are incredibly helpful, if you dont find one you like dont give up, keep looking for one you connect to. Its a tough road but it gets easier.
DeleteI love nature but my fears of spiders keep me from it. I would love to take my son camping. He is a city boy and when we visit my mom in Alabama he loves it. I have always wanted to see a therapist, but never had the courage. I think I’m afraid of hearing the truth. I normally deal with my problems by self meditation, but I think I’m going to get up the courage and speak to a professional. It would be nice to get someone else's point of view. Thanks!
