Mental Fitness

During this week the class was asked to do another relaxation session, and it was certainly a much needed exercise. I found that during this weeks exercise that it was a bit more relaxing to the point that I felt my self drifting to fall asleep at times and had to get back into listening to what the speaker was saying. I'm not sure if it was a good thing that I was falling asleep, however I do feel when I drift off like that I tend "dream" of what is being said and it stays in my mind, I guess that can be a good thing. I certainly have been benefiting from these relaxation practices they help me gather my thoughts and focus on my inner self in ways that I wasn't able to do before. Spiritual wellness is different for each person my way of spiritual wellness is to pray to God, and leave whatever it is I'm dealing with in his hands. Mental wellness allows the mind to solve problems, and physical wellness allows your body to develop optimal physical strength through working out and healthy eating habits. These three traits has help me change me life in the following ways I wanted to loose what so, I got into the mind set that if I eat right exercise, then I can lose weight. I had to tell myself that I can do it even though it was hard at times and it paid off, so much so that I may have to get a smaller wedding dress, which is exciting. I believe that changes have to start with self in order for changes to show and move forward.

  1. Hi Channell,
    I like you believe that changes have to start with self. You have to love yourself and then go from there. Mental strength is just as important as physical strength, actually in my mind much more important. However, I still believe that the mind and body are one. I admire your drive to go forward and eat right along with some exercise. Visualize how you want to look in your wedding dress (you will look beautiful I am sure), keep that visual in your head and use your mind and body to achieve that goal. I know you will do it! I have some goals also myself right now. Peri-menopause has me gaining weight that I never thought I would gain. Gotta get in the mode and get it done......
