Reflection on WELLNESS

Based on scale of out 1 through 10, I would rate my wellness at a 7 1/2. I give myself a above average, because I do try very hard in my life to prosper the qualities of wellness every single day, from the day I wake up to the time I go to sleep. My yoga is my dedication and meditation, without it I feel lost. It physically fulfills me and gives me the tools to be patient with myself and others. It helps my mental state and attitude daily, not worry about silly things and just enjoying whats around me. Spiritually, I am connected more to people, I listen and do my best to be present with whom I am with. Physically, psychologically and spiritually, my life is learning these traits better and better each and every day I practice them. Not everyday is merry and do I always embody them... well NO. But I think that anyone can agree we are always learning and that's just being human.
Goals that I have for my future are to become more of ME. To follow my heart and let go of worry what other people think, or have the concern for judgement. If I keep letting this rule my life, nothing will ever be accomplished from my heart or dreams. Its a waste of time.
Activities that I have fostered to keep my goals alive, is having a journal and writing down my ideas. Other implements I use to make my dreams reality is surrounding myself around like-minded people with the same interest and help each other grow with support and motivation.
In our relaxation exercise, I found it very calming. Might sound funny, but part of the relaxation was the resting of my laptop on my belly, where the heat from my MAC's Battery warmed my tummy and created a nurturing feeling as I closed my eyes and drifted into meditation from the audio voice. Yes my experience was beneficial, I was calm and in the moment .

  1. First of all it is so cute how everyone has their cute little wedding pictures up. I think it is interesting that you can have your laptop rest on your tummy. I think mine would catch me on fire. I remember when I was pregnant I could not have direct sunlight hit my belly. The feeling of it would make me so sick. I am with you I think I need to be more about me. I have been more about everyone else for so many years I just need to look out for my best interest. Because if I am not happy how can i make others happy.

  2. Great post! I really appreciate the comment about the warmth of the PC/MAC...I've at times found this heat comforting and other times just HOT! :-)

    I'm curious -- if your overall wellness rating is 7.5...as you consider the various elements we have been discussion physical, mental, psychological, etc. --> are they all about the same level or is there one that brings the overall score down?

    Looking forward to your thoughts!

    Take Care and see you online - David
