So I am to rate my reflections this week on a scale from 1-10 (ten being optimal wellbeing). My physical wellbeing is about a 7. If you asked me a week ago I would have said a 5. This is only because due to my new job, I am walking up and down train station steps. So I am forcing my heart to pump away. I was stuck in a rut before this and now I am feeling good about my physical being. By Friday, I wasn’t huffing going up the stairs as much as the beginning of the week. Also, for over a month now, I have cut out beef, chicken, pork and veal, and I am feeling so good. I don’t drag like I was and have much more energy. I am currently working on the spiritual well-being. I am having meditation time at lunch in my office, and I have a small water fountain for my office. My psychological well-being is a work in progress. My new job is going to be a huge factor in this instance. Fingers crossed, lol.
Going forward, my goal is to be able to take the stairs without huffing and my knees not hurting. I am going to make it a promise to myself to meditate every day and get in touch with the me inside myself and make peace with my surroundings.
My office is on the tenth floor, so my goal is to get off a floor or two before hand and walk up instead of taking the elevator. Also, I need to notice my trigger points and know when to shut my office door and meditate so I can feel the energy around me. This will help ground the frazzled times during the day. I am a Gemini and our element is Air. My goal is to try and have my office environment moving with a small fan, and aromatherapy.
I am really looking forward to all of this me….mind, body and soul.
Whoa, you stopped eating meats? You my friend are a stronger woman than I (I also think I can't go vegetarian very successfully or for very long due to my blood type and anemia). Couscous for you! lol I think you have some good goals set for yourself and are very obtainable. Eventually you may not even want to take the elevator any more! Or at least do one full run up or down...eventually :D
ReplyDeleteI am also an air type element(Libra)oh what fun! I do enjoy some good aroma therapy as long as it's not too strong.
Hey
ReplyDeleteI started hating the way I felt after eating meat. I always loved it though and I dont know how long I can do this, but I will keep it up as long as I can.
Heaven forbid I never take an elevator, LOL.
Hi Pam (fellow Gemini), I do wish you the very best on the goals you're setting for youself. I would say first and foremost, "Love thy self." Whatever you decide, do it because you feel a need to otherwise, the results may be a little different. My suggestion would be to do everything gradually and not all at once. As you begin to notice results (no matter how small), treat yourself and continue to make progress as you move closer to your goals. I'm right there in spirit to help you along the way. KEEP PUSHING FORWARD.

Hi Fellow Twin Sister
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe in loving thyself...my husband says I am my own biggest fan, LOL.
Baby steps is really the key. Just taking it one thing at a time is the way to go. The only direction to move in is forward.
Pam :)
