Amazingly through this course I have realized how unsynchronized I am with my overall integral health.
Honestly my answers would have been different at the start
of the class compared to now. This is
not a bad thing it is an awareness matter!
Awareness is everything! As far
as my current reflections on my physical well being I would rate it a 7 but that
is solely based on the fact that my vitals and general health is
uncompromising. As far as a goal for my
physical area it is to lose 40lbs I had a healthy baby girl a year ago and
cannot seem to get the weight off due to my mental weakness to submit to
nightshift eating. I work night shift
with a bunch of pampered chef queens.
The activities that I have currently started as of last week consist of
walking treadmill and zumba. To hold me
accountable I have signed up with the following apps Run keeper, The Pact, My fitness pal. They are all synchronized and The pact pays
you money every time you reach you custom set goals. My goals are the gym 2x a
week min. and document food log 5 days a week.
In regards to my spiritual well being I good but not
grounded. By good meaning I have the firm foundation and know my spiritual gifts
and it is actually one of my greatest strengths but I’m not grounded in a spiritual routine, Such as Church weekly or
reading consistently. I give myself a 7!
To increase this I would need to schedule more intimate time to learn and reflect
on my bible. I just started going to a bible study group outside of church
every Tuesday.
Psychologically, I would give myself a 7.5 precisely. What is it that buts this a little above the
rest I am able to help and advice a lot of people. Good advice! And I have the
influence to help others follow through.
However, when It comes to my will power with food addictions to sugar
and flour my psychological is weak. I am a procrastinator! Oh if I weren't a
procrastinator I would be Oprah!
I have this app called the fabulous app that helps promote
rituals and helps develop good habits. The habits I have set are to drink water
as soon as I rise stretch and write my to do list.
Through the crime of the century exercise it was frustrating
because I could not understand every word to muffled and quiet. Very boring! unable to focus on my body being a prism and
having 7 colors. I am tense though I
will have to try at another time when my kids are asleep!
Hello Natalie! I find your input on this week's blog discussion topics interesting and funny! I too, have an addiction to sugar and carbohydrates!!! I have found that I needed more than just the will to diet and exercise to recover a more physical body, I have been motivating myself by the simple knowledge that I do not want to be physically unable to live my life to it's fullest potential. With that in mind, I found the strength to conquer my weaknesses! I hope you find a similar motivating factor for yourself as well!
ReplyDeleteNatalie,
ReplyDeleteI think all of the things we want to do eventually get worked out in one of two ways. Either we finally get to critical mode to get done what has been on our " to do" list for the past 6 months or more, or it somehow falls off into the abyss of things that proved not to be all that important to us after all.
Much like you I have things I say to myself, "I'm going to dedicate time to doing that this weekend", then I think to myself.....uh yeah, right. Knowing I haven't reached that critical mode yet ( I guess I just coined a new phrase for myself lol). I will say that you should be proud of yourself for taking the steps to get healthier. I'm a fitness trainer and I realize much about fitness is what's between our ears! The psychology of fitness is what I tell myself over and over again is what determines success or lack of it. Small, consistent steps over time is what will make you victorious...so just keep moving forward!
