Crime Of The Century is the name of the relaxation technique I had to complete for class. It was very relaxing. I was suppose to focus on the colors of the rainbow with each color associated with a certain part of my body. If you know what Chakra meditation is then that is basically what we are meditating on. Meditating on each chakra and its color. I was so relaxed it almost put me to sleep a couple times. Normally when I am done I am more refreshed then before but with this one it made me sleepy. Maybe because of the time of day? ( Evening time)
I am suppose to rate where I feel I am in each area; physical well being, spiritual well being and psychological well being on a scale from 1-10 ten being the greatest. Physical-3 Spiritual-7 Psychological-8. Physical is a 3 because I am not in shape as I would like to be, therefore I have recently started working on it. And I have improved my eating habits. No more sugar! My diet is much better now I just need to get in shape. Spiritual is a 7 because I have a lot of faith in my God yet I have a lot of room for improvement, I give a lot of service and take time for my self, not enough but I am working on it. Psychological is an 8 because I have a lot of healthy relationships with friends, family and I have learned to not take things people do personally so I am not attracting that negative thinking. I feel pretty confident in my abilities and I try to lead by example. Some of my goals would be to work out and get fit physically. My goal for this would be to exercise 2-3 times a week. My spiritual goal would be to spend more time in meditation and reflecting on my day and how to be better. This I can do daily. And last is psychological. To improve in this area, I will work harder at understanding people around me better. Also consistent study with my education is a goal I have.
I'm glad you enjoyed the exercise! I wasn't able to get all the way through it but I'm going to try really hard to do the next one. You sound like you are in the same boat as me physically. I've recently started to incorporate more physical activity into my week. I'm hoping to keep up with it. I'm 32 and I've been saying my whole life "I need to lose a few pounds!" Hopefully the time is now!
ReplyDeleteBrandy I too am glad that you enjoyed the exercise. That is good that you are able to get more exercise in your life with your busy schedule. It seemed like that your were really able to get something meaningful from the exercise. That should really help people focus on themselves by using colors to do it.
ReplyDeleteI totally am with you on the physical health part. I eat right, but need to get on a regualr excercise routien, I lack the motivation, and dedication! Taking sugar out of your diet is a great step toward achieving health adn wellness, good job! It is good that you have healthy relationships with friends and family, a support system can help a lot!
ReplyDeleteBrandy,
ReplyDeleteAs I went through the meditation it came to my that I was also familiar with this meditation but known to me as chakra meditation. I read your ratings and your goals for better nutrition. Nutrition is key in achieving all aspects of optimum well-being. The statement is true "you are what you eat". Bad eating habits block the energy flow within your body. Best of luck with your goals and I will hold you in the light.
