Unit 10 - Farewell!

My original assessment was: Psychological = 7            Physical = 4  Spiritual = 0
My current assessment is:     Psychological = 7            Physical = 5  Spiritual = 3
The reason my psychological has not changed is because I feel I overrated myself the first time. I need some work in this area as far as having more loving kindness and calming my mind. I have not had much success with the meditation exercises, but I have not given up. I will continue working towards reaching a more calm state for myself. My physical has not changed very much. Due to nicer weather, I have been walking in the early morning on weekends, and my neck problems are getting a little better. I have not returned to the gym yet, and I have not lost any weight, so I still need to continue my efforts. My spiritual was actually always there a little, but I am just now discovering it. I would like to get out and enjoy nature more. We had the strangest weather today. We all stopped working around 4pm to look out the windows at the hail-snow that was falling. We almost never get snow around here. The cars in the parking lot were getting coated in a hail-snow slush. It was quite a sight to see. Amazing!
I am still working on my implementation plan for improving my well-being in all of these areas. I have truly enjoyed sharing experiences with others in class and appreciate all of the encouragement I have received from everyone. I took this class as an elective, and am very happy that I did. It has been a pleasure to learn from everyone and has helped me with my personal growth. Thanks!!!

  1. This class is part of my major and to watch you benefit from taking it is very helpful. In my experience, success come from meditation and mindfulness from the taking the time to do it. It is paradox getting something from doing nothing. One of the things I got out of the last Dacher You Tube is that we don’t practice to be good at meditation, but to attain optimum health and well being. When we get that we don’t have to meditate or practice; we will live it. So I will keep at it until I no longer have to keep going back to something. I will be that something, that wholeness, and so will you. Keep up the good work you are being.
    Thank you and you are very welcome to my time and energy. Contact me any time you please.

  2. Hello,
    I would have to agree with you on some things that you have said. I personally, although I am trying my hardest am having a hard time meditating. I hope that I will be more welcomed to it soon and as always there is always room to grow!
    Keep walking, it will help with the weight loss. A little goes a long way! Always remember that and never give up on anything!
    Thanks for being a part of class with me!
