Hello Everyone.
I rate my physical well-being at 4. My goal for improvement would be to decrease the amount of tension that I feel in my body engaging in more physical activity and take some time off to pamper myself by going to the spa and getting a few full body massages and other relaxing treatments.
My spiritual well-being is at 6 and this is so because I pray quite regularly, but I do need to learn the art of letting go. I believe that I should incorporate meditation into my prayer-fulness.
My psychological well-being at 4 because my mind can be very messed up at times with worry. I have control issues that I need to work on and to do so, I think that I should learn to identify the differences between my wants and needs and between the elements that I can control and those that I cannot.
I really can relate to the massage therapy... I think it is very healing when it is done correctly, I like swedish, triggerpoint & hot stone.. I also really like the essential oils/aromatherpy. Working on the nerves coming off of the spine and in the hands and feet has been the most impactful for me.. I have had some wonderful results following TIA strokes --getting the feeling back in my left side...
ReplyDeletep.s. I love you scenery on the blog.. it is really beautiful and relaxing...
ReplyDeleteSusan, first let me say that I love your scenery. It is very relaxing. I enjoyed your post and the honesty that comes along with it. It sounds like you have clear goals for yourself. I wish you the best with each goal, especially psychological because I worry about a lot of things too.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading part of your reflection on letting go, I remember something that a case worker said to me while sharing her experiences with her adoptive 16 year old daughter. Her daughter suffers from bipolar and she refuses to take medication, therefore she said she could no longer live with the family. The daughter missed the bus to go to the shelter and so the parents drove her to the shelther. The caseworker said when she saw the condition and the people around the shelter her heart dropped. She once again asked the daughter are you going to the hospital to get medication and she said no she left her there. I would imagine that must have been the most difficult thing to let go of her protective mode and let her daughter realize where was she getting into by not following the rules. Good luck on your quest.
