I need to work on all aspects of my integral health. Grading myself in the areas of physical well-being, spiritual well-being and psychological well-being I show a need to improve.
A) Physical well-being, I give myself a 7.
B) Spiritual well-being, I give myself a 8.
C) Psychological well-being, I give myself a 6.
There is always room to better your physche. I am walking around 15 pounds too heavy. The result of this is joint pain which was stimulated due to chemotherapy. The goal is to keep it moving and lose the 15 pounds and keep it off.
Spiritually I am in tune with who I am due to my Christian belief and practices. If I can only manage the battle that goes on in my mind I would grade myself higher psychologically.
The goal is to learn as much as I can and be determined to practice a more holistic way of being healthy. I have already removed many substances from my diet due to a bout with cancer. If I implement more of what I am learning about eating properly, approaches to keep stress from my life and to control my thoughts I would be on the road to geniune healing.
I enjoyed the relaxation exercise, "The Crime of the Century". I actually played it at my workstation and it drew the attention of my coworkers. Watching the color waves and the music sort of put me in a trance. I felt myself becoming lighter, it was actually pretty cool.
Now the weekend is here and I hope to be able to actually relax for at least one of these weekend days.

ReplyDeleteYou sound in tune with everything in your life. I wish I could have scored myself as high as you did in my well-being. I have some confusion going on in my life especially when it comes to the spiritually well-being. I believe in God but I just have a few things that I think are confusing. I think once I work all those things out and stop smoking, then I will be able to rate myself higher. I have learned how to control the stress in my life and not let it get me down and I have been working on eating better and exercising so I think I am almost there.
Nada,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you scored so high for yourself. I really wish I could. I am still having issues physically and spiritually. Physically I know it will get better. Spiritually I am still trying to find my way. I also found during the relaxation exercise the feeling of being lighter.

You have to be a strong person if you are battling cancer right now and let me add that you seem to have such a great personality. I feel the same about my faith as well, I just need to focus on relying more on my faith than stressing about every little thing. I enjoyed the exercise as well. It seems like a good way for me to let go of some of that stress I was speaking about. Good luck on your goals!
ReplyDeleteNada,
ReplyDeleteI think I love you already, having just "met" you!!
Your confidence is great and so is your strength! I like that you are realistic about your challenges but still so optimistic! I also like that in your bio you classified yourself as a survivor, but I would challenge you to take it up one more notch. This past weekend I had the opportunity to meet an amazing person who had faced all kinds of incredible challenges and she said that we all walk around with a V on our head- we are either Victims or Victors!! You are a Victor and you already see it yourself, so CLAIM that Victory!! You are a survivor, but much more, you are victorious!
Best of luck to you in this term and beyond.
