Unit 6 Blog

I practiced the Loving Kindness meditation it has become a habit every night when I go to bed. I sometimes find it hard to focus as my mind wanders. This is still one of my biggest obstacles. Calming my mind takes a great deal of effort. I think this is a goal I will have to work on for months to come.

The biological aspect of my life is currently what I need to work on the most. I believe that unless I can get my fitness, nutrition and self regulation to a good place, I will be unlikely able to get my mind there. I will always be thinking outside of what I should and feeling guilty. Now that being said, I feel that if I am walking or running I can use this time to find some psychospiritual guidance. I believe any time you can get your mind free of everyday clutter, use it.

I plan to seek nutritional counseling from a professional service (I haven’t decided on one yet). I also plan to make a promise to MYSELF! This could prove to be the hardest yet. I will plan on eating at least 2 healthy meals per day and limit snacks to healthy ones. This is going to be a battle, but I know I can win.


Thanks
Ginger

  1. Ginger,

    I am like you my mind is untamed. If I tried that exercise before bed I would never fall asleep. Biologically though I am great I own my own wellness company where we do fitness, nutritional counseling, and stress management, but without my spiritual life coming together I still get bogged down at times.

  2. Kevin,

    It is a constant battle, isn't it? I am curious is there any nutritional programs that you recommend more so than another?

    Thanks

  3. Hello Ginger, Good luck on your goals.I totally understand, Its like the minute I try to get my house in order (my psychospiritual, biological, wordly and interpersonal) they seem to become my adversary. I finally made it that I am working out. I discovered that recognizing is the first step to progress. Great inspiration from your post thanks
