Reflections of my
physical wellbeing will be a bit lower than it should…about a 5..I have to get
my body back to healthier state…Feeling run down, tight, and a bit more of me
than I would care for…My spiritual wellbeing…3…I really had to stop and think
about this one, after the major losses that I have had to endure in such a
short period of time has really hit me hard.
Thinking about my life, choices that I have made, and some that I wish I
could turn the clock back. As it is now,
I stand by those…that at the time with the information that was available I
still believe that the correct choices were made. Psychological wellbeing…3...this is another
one that I needed to ponder. I have been
having more difficulty than I would care to admit when it comes to some of the
issues I have faced in the past. I know
that it may have been some years ago with some, but the impact has lasted
longer than it should have. I guess that
is my fault for the lack of guts to hit the situation head on. But it was just not me that I had to think
about.
I have set several goals
for the physical issues that I am faced with, if it’s going to get better (or
worse) I have only myself to blame…I have adopted a shelter dog, and we have
started out with slow walks and time outside, we have to take it slow since he
has had “the operation” and I have to be
careful of the length I walk….do not want to re injure the foot or knee!! Not even going there….just insert a little
giggle for yourself here….spiritual goal, I need to let God heal my heart. I have so many that depend on my guidance to
place their loved ones final days with me, and to help them with the process of
the loved ones last journey, and to help them continue with their own is a
difficult one…Allowing myself the time to heal…so that I can continue to help
others…psychological..ahh yet another place I would rather not go…but if I must…I
shall…reestablish the connection with my counselor and get on board with a plan
that is more proactive, than allowing myself to retreat back into those dark
places we only hear about.
The physical, I am starting (again slow for a
couple of reasons) to start working toward a healthier lifestyle all
together! But that too must start with
that difficult first step. The spirit...allowing
myself time to recharge….time for myself to meditate and pray to allow God to
work more in my life so that I can overcome the challenges that he has brought
to my life. Psychological……this remains
like a stick in the mud for me…..I wish I could let things go or find ways that
I can confront what is truly running me scared!
I really tried this…several
times…it was so frustrating…I know that his voice is supposed to be relaxing
but I just cannot get to that happy place with this guy talking! So as I have done before I have popped in one
of my CDs (Spirit dreams or Wolf Magic) and allow my body to relax with these
visions that are created in my mind’s eye as they play.
Jeni, it sounds like you have been through some tough times. I think it’s great that you realize where you are having some trouble with your well-being, and that you have specific goals to reach while working on improving your life.
ReplyDeleteI also think you made a great decision adopting a shelter dog! I feel like that alone will help you gain strength in your physical, spiritual, and psychological areas of well-being. A strong connection with a pet can heal many aspects of life, and the opportunity to care for and exercise with them provides endless benefits!
(As I’m writing this, my cat is simply gazing at me- waiting patiently for some attention- she’s making me smile on the outside and the inside!) Can’t wait to hear more about you and your journey in this course!
Despite all that I have endured my babies are still what I look forward to in the evenings, and spending time with my husband.
DeleteI hope that my lil guy can see the love I have for him and that we are going to have some fun together for many years to come.

Jeni,
ReplyDeleteLife can sometimes be very unfair and can rake us on a roller-coaster but I believe that we can learn a lot from our bad experiences and enable us to make wiser decisions in the future. You seem to have gone through a lot but you also seem to have a very good plan on what you want to attain. You have taken the first steps and I am hopeful that if you follow through your plan,you will attain integral health.
David,
ReplyDeleteYes I have had a rough go of it for little while. But I have a positive out look for the future. I am working toward a better me, and in hopes that I can help others in this manner.
This summer has really hit me very hard in the heart, but I know with time I will be better than my old self.
Thanks for the support!
Hi Jeni!
ReplyDeleteI truly believe everything happens for a reason! I’ve made choices in my life that I’m not proud of but I also know there was a reason I made those choices and each life event has made me who I am today! Stay strong and know that you made the choices that you felt were right at the time. Don’t regret and don’t look back. Look forward to the future and keep making the best choices that you can make! As long as we are moving forward and never falling back, you will become successful in your goals and in your life!!! God bless you!

Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteAll of these three areas can be difficult to balance. I think that we all have a weakness in some area but as long as we acknowledge it and work toward improving it, we are on the right track. Life can be tough but we have to keep marching forward and take care of ourselves. Thanks for sharing and I know that in time, your scores will increase. :)

I am so sorry to hear about the losses and the suffering that you have been going through. You sound like you are a great and caring person and I wish you the best! Take things one step at a time and you will get there in no time. Life is hard and it stinks things don't always go the way we plan, good thing there are many paths we can take right?
ReplyDeleteha yeah the guys voice is kind of annoying, I luckily have been doing ok with it but I definitely did notice that : )
