As far as my physical well-being I would have to give it a 6, for two reasons, one I have been dealing with being overweight for a couple of years now and I know that it has made things difficult for me and a burden to my body. Second I have been recovering from a surgery for about three months now and that is not aiding me in loosing weight as I can not do much during this time of recovering. Spiritually I am at a 8 because I have great faith in my religion and rely on it to get me through hard times and pray everyday for the strength to continue on. Psychologically I am at an 8 as well because I am very strong minded and that is due to my up bringing and staying mentally tough through the good and the bad, even in good times you must keep your head screwed on tight and be prepared for anything.
Physically I want to get to my idea weight, my idea health, and visually an idea look that I want my image to portray. Spiritually I would always like to be close to God but more as a family as we continue in our lives to stay blessed and make the right decision to live life in his light. Mentally I would just like to be at peace with my lifestyle and not having my family worry about food, education or how we will survive.
I believe extending my knowledge in my trade, in what health decisions i need to make, and follow to the T the word of god will get me to the results I want and that my family deserves.
Wow, I actually had to do this twice, no lie I was so relaxed the first time I fell asleep for like ten minutes I woke up to him speaking about the beam of light and was like wow either I was really sleepy or really needed this to relax and clear my mind. I was really in-tuned and focused on this exercise I believed after this term I will continue this and look for more ways to do mediation.

ReplyDeleteI understand completely the strain of being overweight. It is a burden...not just physically. At my heaviest (documented) weight I was 342 pounds (I'm 5'7"). In 2011 I decided that I was finished with being fat and I went to the gym, joined and bought personal training. I have to admit, it was the *best* decision I had made in my life to that point. I needed the motivation, inspiration, variety, knowledge, encouragement, and accountability that came with having a personal trainer...badly. I still struggle with motivation (believe it or not) even after losing nearly 170 pounds! That is ebb and flow...and probably always will be, honestly.
I (obviously) have no idea what kind of injury you sustained or what your limitations are, but if you want some starting points for getting yourself moving again - I'm here. I'd be happy to give you some general advice and help you get started in the right direction (physically speaking). :)
Good luck on your journey!

ReplyDeleteI'm really inspired by your numbers, 8, 8 ,and a 6 out of 10. It sounds like you are well put together. Spiritually, I see that you really seem to have a close relationship with God. That is something I can work on a little more as well.. Although I have beliefs, I haven't really been involved in religion for a long time. I also wanted to add that I and many others share some of the same worries about work, education, and survival. I really became tired worrying and decided I will let everything just be. Now every thing seems to be coming together little by little I am really happy that the relaxation exercise worked for you. It has worked pretty good for me as well, although I hear that it isn't as effective on everybody. Best of luck on your goals
