In unit three I
felt like I was half way there in every category. After more
reflection for the Unit 9 assignment I found myself to be a
Psychological 5, spirituality 4.5, physically 3. I think that I have
had the most growth in my psychological realm, I have truly embraced
the practices taught in class and they have helped me mentally focus,
observe and let go of things I have no control over and over my
emotions. Its freeing. My spirituality is still a work in progress.
I am learning, and understanding what messages in the bible mean in
my life. I am using the word, praying more and witnessing on the
goodness of God more. Where I need improvement is my commitment to
Wednesday bible study. Physically I have not lost any weight, this
is due to my lack of commitment to my exercise process and eating
habits. I seem to have the most trouble here, I'm not sure if
it is because I feel like I'm OK with my body or if its the first thing I
can let go when things get busy. I have to work this out, and figure out how to lose this weight. I don't want to have diabetes, or high blood pressure.
I have stuck to my
guns when it comes to me saying no and taking one task on at a time. I'm not looking to far into the future at things that need to be done to help reduce my anxiety. I am
working at staying involved with my community and being available for
others who may need me and giving positive council to them. I am working out for
thirty minutes a day and when I have more time I'm doing more. I have started a food and exercise journal to
help me understand where the disconnect is with my weight loss success.
The one main thing
I think I got from this course is to be committed. I have to be
committed to me, to the growth of my mind (psychological state), my
body ( my physical health) and spirituality. I will be taking a trip to Hot Springs, NC in a few weeks to partake in the mineral waters, to meditate and just get some alone time. Since healing is my
desire, I will continue to use the tools given in this class and
those I've taken before and continue to grow and share the best parts
of me. I feel like I've found my purpose and I'm just beginning to
live it.
I am glad that you also enjoyed this class as I did. Definitely it has been an eye opener. Keep up the good work maintaining your diet. I know that it is very hard to lose weight. Personally, I have tried almost every diet out there and the only thing that works for me is keeping a low carbohydrate diet. Thank you for your nice comments the pleasure has been mine to share this journey together. Blessings
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI think definitely we all in this class have had some great progress as the weeks went on in this term. The size of the change is now significant. It is simply the fact that many of us if not all experience some type of change. I think it is great that you can identify the problem you have and are willing to spend time to work on changing it around. This is half the battle, I think and it will lead to success; keep working and not give up. You have definitely put fourth some key tasks that will lead you to better health for life. Good luck to you in the future with health and your educational goals!!
