Hello Class and Professor! I hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather. I finally got out and went for a 6 mile run and I feel so much better and ready to finish the homework I got left.
A.) Physical wellbeing: I rate at a 7 because I am pretty active, although not as much as I was a month ago due to working 40 hours now, but I still walk an run daily. I eat healthy foods and take care of my body. My Goal and how I will implement in my life: To walk 30 minutes a day on my break at work.
B.) Spiritual Wellbeing: I rate this area at a 8. I am a very spiritual person and find that through meditation and yoga along with aroma therapy and prayer I feel whole and complete. With out this element of my life, I feel lost and depressed and my heat feels empty, so I do my best to exercise this element of my life daily although there is always room for improvment :)
My Goal and how I wil implement in my life: To pray to God each morning while drinking my coffee and thanking him for my life and all that I have, asking for continued guidence, unconditonal love and safty for my family and I.
C.) Pyschological Wellbeing: I rate this at a 8 as well. I feel that by exercising all other elements of my life in a healthy manner, my mind is at ease and my psychological wellness benefits. I feel happy and laid back instead of full of anxiety and sad and crabby. I have found that through my spiritual wellness, my psychological wellness justs falls into place and is exactly where it needs to be :) I am content and happy.
My Goal and how I will implement in my life: To take "ME" time each night at 8:00 PM after I put my son to bed to reflect on my day and let go of my anxiety and the things in life that I can not control making an extra effort to give give what I can not handle to God and just let it go like cleaning out my mind each day to start a new.
4.) My thoughts on the exercise: I loved it! I could do this each day. I really enjoy doing these deep meditation exercises as it allows me some given time to not only get homework done but also get to relax while doing homework. I couldn't ask for more. I felt my mind being to quite and my breath become more calm and steady. In the end...I am ready to sleep :)

Hi Megan,
ReplyDeleteYou demonstrate how if you want something bad enough you will figure out a way to do it! You work 40 hours a week, have a son, and you are going to school and still set aside time to exercise, meditate, and pray. My son is in college and lives at home and is worried he won't have time if he has a job. I keep telling him busy people get more done and you are the perfect example!
Have a great week!

Well Megan you are my inspiration! You are a busy body and by the looks of it, you love it! I think your strategies are right on target. I do however hope you get plenty of rest. Sleep is vital to our overall wellbeing! I speak of sleep because I work the night shift and this is a big problem with me and my time constrictions.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!

Megan your posts are truly inspiring! I have been sick for over two weeks and barely have energy to sit at this computer. I think it is great that your ratings are in the 8's for your spiritual, physical, and psychological well being. I think it is common when your work hours increase that your exercise time decreases. Implementing a 30 minute walk during your lunch break sounds like a great way to offset that. I too am going to implement some ME time. I'm hoping to be successful at it. I have difficulty with letting go of the small stuff. For me I have to constantly remind myself that it does not matter in the big picture. Have a great productive week and thanks again for the inspiration!

Megan,
ReplyDeleteI wish I was able to run 6 miles! That is inspiring, so congrats on that. I enjoyed your post and I found it interesting that you got a lot out of the listening exercise. I look forward to reading more of your blogs, hopefully you are able to get more reflection time!
