- Reflecting on my own
personal well being I would give myself a 9 for my physical well being because
I am happy with my being inside and out.
I like how I look, I like how I feel and I like what I have to do
to maintain my body. Running and
P90X have transformed my exterior and my diet has transformed my
insides. I have only obtained a 10
on a few occasions that were very special and all aspects of mind-body and
spirit were in sync. My Spiritual
well being I would give an 8 for I am most calm when literally running
through nature. I have to work on
times when I am not submersed in nature where I often lose my spiritual
focus. Psychologically I am at a 7
because I have found that when I choose to look for the positive in every
situation I am at the most ease. I
do let some things bother me more then I should and in hindsight I can
find the positive but in the heat of the moment I loose the calm.
- My goals are where they
need to be with exception of psychologically where I need to let the heat
of the moment pass by me while I am calm.
I need to choose to not react immediately rather wait until my mind
is clear to respond.
- The activities I can
implement to help maintain my goal is continued running and exercise. Practice daily to let go of the small stuff
and wait before responding. Take in
that deep breath to clear my frustrations and find the positive.
- As for the relaxation
exercises I had the same experience as last week. I was very comfortable and
relaxed. Following the cues
focusing on the light and where it was radiating from. I don’t recall getting to the third
light. I was out. I feel so much better from this exercise
then I would have a nap so I am guessing my subconscious took over for me
and my conscious mind went to its happy place because I did not dream like I would have if I fell asleep. I did rewind and try to listen to it
again but I had the same thing happen.
I think I will do these exercises on evening when I do not fall
right to sleep and maybe I will awaken feeling even more refreshed.

Kristie,
ReplyDeleteHello, I was reading your blog this week. I am glad that you enjoyed the relaxation drill. I myself could not get past the first few minutes. Surely, I did not make it to the second or third color. I wish I could say the same about the drill for this week, but last weeks drill was spectacular in my opinion. Maybe I will try this one again in a few days. It seemed to work for you, so why not try again. (maybe when my home is not so hectic!) ;)
I really am not used to signing my name. The above post is from me!

Kristie,
ReplyDeleteI too fell asleep before I reached the throat during the exercise my first time around. I was so relaxed that I just drifted off. I was only out for about ten minutes, but when I awoke, I felt much more refreshed and relaxed than I had.
Also, I had to mention that I greatly admire your stance on your physical self. I have struggled with my physical self for about a year and cannot seem to keep the motivation through the stress in order to exercise. I also admire that you are a runner. I have always wanted to be, but I always get discouraged before I even begin.
