Well-being:
My physical well-being as a 9. I am pretty healthy, I don’t think I have had
a cold or virus for about 2 years, I don’t take any prescriptions but I wish I
could sleep through the night. Once my
15 year old cat is gone, I know it will be easier to sleep through the night. She wakes me/us up, not being able to remember where her
food and water are we have to take her to them.
She is so healthy other than that, kitty senility.
My spiritual well-being is a 6. I need to do more to clear my mind and
connect with that higher place for myself.
My psychological well-being at a 8.
Mixed with not sleeping well, stress at work and days/weeks without the
sun have really started to get me down at times. I used to not have difficulty with the daily
gray here in the NW but there are times it keeps me down emotionally at this time in my life.
Goals:
Physical:
I will continue my weekly exercise routine of walking 3-5 miles 4 to 5
days a week with strength training 2-3 days a week. The days and times will vary based on my homework
load and work schedule.
Spiritual: I will work on my puzzle to clear
my mind Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Time will be dependent on work schedule and homework load, but I will
spend at least 45 minutes to clear my mind get out of the intense “work” mode.
Psychological: I will discuss issue(s) that are bothering me
with my spouse so that I don’t keep my mind active with them before trying to
go to bed. This will be a case by case
situation.
I will be mindful in each of these situations
(physical, spiritual and psychological) at the moments I am fulfilling these
goals. This will include clearing my
mind and put intention into what I am actually doing at that time.
The Crime of the Century” Experience:
I was surprised by the title Crime of the
Century. I connected to the rainbow imagery. I have connected to this type of
imagery since being introduced to it through the curriculum of Brian Luke
Seaward. I am not sure why I connected more to this rainbow activity, but I have. I use it
almost every night after I am woken by my cat to go out. I use the color
blue to return to a restful sleep.
Good night all, I wish you the best, Candii
Candii,
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you have a plan. A plan is always a good start. Too many people go into things without a plan. we always said in the Army the if you fail to plan the you plan to fail. Sorry to hear about your cat. Pets are family. It hurts to lose a pet also. I lost my Boxer of 14 years about a year ago and it hurt. Keep up the good work. Scott Fagan
Hi Scott,
DeleteI liked your saying about "if you fail to plan then you plan to fail". I just might need to use that one. Yes, we get really attached to our animals. As far as house pets go, we are down to one dog and one cat. We used to have a pack of them both. They have been like children. I really feel for you and the loss of your Boxer.
Have a great week, Candii
You mentioned that the constant grey sometimes affect your emotions. I often wonder why the lack of sun and constant rain makes some people depressed. I live in Los Angeles and love it when it rains. The rain reminds me of being cleansed. I grew up in Ne Jersey and there are all four seasons. I miss that so we are moving to Atlanta in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteHi Pepi,
DeleteThank you for your post. When I lived in Arizona I too loved it when it rained. There are less apparent changes between the seasons in AZ than there are in Oregon. There is something different about the rain and constant gray that I think affects people. When there is never a horizon to be seen, it affects our ability to equilize.
LOL @ kitty senility. I think your goals are great and you are on the right path. I am so glad you connected so well with the rainbow exercise and you can utilize it in your daily life.
