Aloha everyone,
At this time, progression towards my goals is slow. Change is still needed at my work place, which I have started implementing, but it is reliant on multiple factors (work, Living situation, school, life). I have some big decisions coming my way.
In the area of Physical wellness- my evaluation is hovering around 4. The most exercise at work is the many repetitions of flights stairs throughout the day, and I started working out when I get home at night. I squeeze reps into my 2-minute breaks while I’m doing home work. One of the reason this level is still low, is due to the lack of time to put into to what would be my normal workout/ exercise schedule, but as things become more manageable (or at least they same like it) I will pay more attention to getting out, and back into hiking and more riding, and yes climbing. Physical activity plays a strong role in my holistic balance by facilitating a spiritual and psychological synergy.
Psychological wellbeing (6): psychologically I feel confident, I learned how to conduct myself, so I can put things into perspective and limit the harsh affect of stress. The physical aspect gives me an outlet to discharge the stress and lighten my load. It also clears my mind so I am able to see things for what they are and not play the part of judge, but as a witness. Once again, as adjustments settle, the exercises that I learned along with the reasons associated with them, will help me to progress further, to free my mind even more, and to open my mind to more possibilities.
Spiritual wellbeing (3): my spiritual awareness or recognition was nested in with the physical portion of my life I was able to spend more time with and around animals and nature which was very helpful. The component of exercise allowed me to step inside of my mind and explore different areas, but this decreased with the lost opportunities to workout. My mind is clouded at times, the spiritual connection I had is fogged out, and the links to access that world/level are not active right now. I have been boxed in for the last year and I can see and have witnessed how important being out of the box is. This class, the exercises opened the lid. Now its about knocking down the other portions or just climbing out.
Have you implemented the activities you chose for your well-being in each of the three areas? Explain.
My exercise portion is in process, along with my nutritional goals (yes, making time, and cooking again). Psychological, I have started taking time to unwind, breathing, doing massage again (helps both spiritually and psychologically), and spending more time with my teacher (my horse Ghambit, and the other horses) out in the fields, it’s a good time to open up the mind and just experience what’s around you.
This course, these classes have been helpful, and the blogs were helpful in growth. It great to interact with others in the same mind set (well after a little while, it takes time to warm up to people), which I found to be beneficial. One of my ongoing themes is; thing have stabilized and now I can move out, and move out I shall. Through this course, I have been given instruction, direction and resources to facilitate wholeness with and in my life. Even with the stress of trying to meat multiple deadlines for work, school and life; I found help and that is what will aid in my growth. The loving –kindness is something that I will share with my co-workers and students and people around me. Learn with those that seek help, make it a symbiotic relationship, which nourishes and learn from one-another.
Thank you for sharing this class with me.
Kevin W.
