Crime of the Century
I will begin this week with a personal rating of my own well-being. When it comes to my physical well-being I will have to say with all honesty I am nowhere near where I would like to be. In this past year I have suffered many changes that have caused me to not only gain weight but to suffer in my psychological well-being as well. However by these radical changes that have caused me to slip a bit my spiritual well-being has increased more than it ever has. So on a scale of 1-10 I rate my physical well-being a 6, spiritual well-being an 8 (because I still feel I have a lot to learn), and a 6 for my psychological well-being. I have always been one to believe that everything happens for a reason so I am in the mindset right now that all of these changes have occurred to make me a better and stronger person.
I have been working out and I plan to begin training for the mini marathon during the Derby festivities next April. I read my bible and pray often but have yet to find a church home. I was raised Catholic but no longer believe or practice their methods. I feel strongly that once I can get all my affairs in order I can then attend yoga classes more regularly.
Upon completing the Crime of the Century relaxation exercise I found it to be very relaxing. I am very familiar with the chakras, or energy points that run up the spine and through the body, so it was not difficult for me to see the colors or focus on the regions he spoke of. I do plan on listening to it again maybe even twice a week to refocus and get centered and grounded.
I trust that once I begin training for the mini marathon, attending yoga classes more regularly and stay focused on where I want to be in my life then my physical, spiritual, and psychological well being will be in a much healthier state.
Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are making positive changes in your life. It sounds like you have a strong head on your shoulders and can persevere through any setbacks that you may have. I think if you you are strong psychologically and spiritually than you can more easily become strong physically, but not necessarily the other way around. Good luck to you on the upcoming marathon, and best to all of your future endeavors.
Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that things have been a little rough for you lately, but I am also glad to hear that you want to make some changes for the good. I too believe that things happen for a reason. I have been going through some not so pleasant things myself. I am hoping to have learned from then, and try to change my negative feelings for more positive ones.

I hope that you stay positive and keep chugging along, you will be alright!

Jen,
DeleteI agree with you I too have a lot to learn about many aspects of myself. I really enjoyed the exercise and will also continue to do the exercise through out this stress time in my life. I see you mentioned yoga, how does the yoga help you with your inner core I have always been interested?
