So I am sitting here thinking about myself (that didn't sound good) trying to assess how I view myself; phycially, spiritually, and psychologically...
This is difficult because I think I am way harder on myself....
Physically-I am quite healthy as far as a well balanced diet, I exercise regularly, and I really don't have any major health concerns or issues so I would rate myself as an 8 or 9 because I think there is alawys room for improvement...My goal would be to probably add more cardio to my exercise program but I honestly can't think of anything else.
Spiritually--This is where I see that I need the most help so I would rate myself as a 6 perhaps a 7. I find myself sometimes speaking before thinking and when I do that often times things come out that I should not say. My goal would be to work on that as well as getting rid of those unskillful actions.
Psychologically--Mmmmm, I am not depressed or angry or anxious or I really can't "see" anything but I don't think I would rate myself as a 10...maybe a 7 or 8 especially right now because I do have things on my mind but they are disturbing, I can make the best out of any situation.
The exercise was beneficial, relaxing, and it made me think about "letting go". One thing that I did find confusing was the object I was suppose to see when the color was mentioned. Did anybody else feel that way?

Erika,
ReplyDeleteYour goals sound very achievable. You want to add more cardio to your exercise program which is something I too need to do. I think doing something as simple as taking a walk or job for a mile or two a few times a week is a great way to do this. You want take more time to think about your opinions before voicing them and this is very rational. De-stressing is another great goal to have. I think techniques such as yoga or tai chi work great for this and they have the added benefit of cardio.

Erica,
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest doing a little more meditation to become more spiritual. Spirituality can be enhanced through religion or through self practice. I would suggest reading some of Deepak Chopra's books as he is very insightful on this subject. Also if you have a particular faith, then maybe you should engage in some more of your faiths practices, such as prayer if you are a Christian.
With regards to the meditation, you weren't suppose to see an object with the color. You were suppose to imagine the colors illuminating from you or to you.
Good luck with all of your goals!
Goals must be realistic and your goals sound realistic. I believe that with will power and time we can achieve our goals. I didn't find the object part to be confusing because my imagination went with it. That's pretty much what I do, I go with it. Good luck on achieving your goals.
