Describe the exercise and assessment process. What did you discover about yourself? What area have you chosen to be a focus of growth and development? Why? What are some specific exercises or activities that you can implement to foster greater wellness in this area?
My exercise and assessment is very confusing. I have had a lot going on in my life that I have so much to sort out. I found my mind is full of endless thought and worries about where I'm going in my life and how my older children are sorting out in their new lives. Most days I stop and tell myself I can't worry about the decisions of others in my life but it's hard not to worry about your children. I discovered I need to focus on me! My biological self has to be focused on. Over the past 10 years I have put on an excessive amount of weight, my eating is out of control and my health is not the best. Many of us are not but mine is a special case that we are not sure of the cause. I would like to do more meditations to ease my mind, I want to be in more control of the way I live and treat myself and my body. I know this is something many people wish they can focus more on and may be a dead subject with them.
Hi Crystal. I can definitely relate to being an emotional eater. I am in the same boat as you. I feel meditation can be of great use to us. I get annoyed at all of the different diet programs offered and in our faces all the time. I believe since so many people are emotional eaters, so why not focus on the problem first, the emotions, and then include the diet and fitness improvements. We stress ourselves out not using food as our medication when our minds are a mess and, give ourselves anxiety over motivating ourselves to work out. I think meditation is a great tool to use for this to help out our minds.
ReplyDeleteHello Crystal. I am sorry to hear about your worries but at least you are not alone. To be honest I never had anxiety before until I had my first child. Now I find myself worrying about things that have not even happened and are completely ridiculous. It is so amazing how our minds can completely change our attitude. I have heard so many good things about meditation and it sounds like it might be a good thing for you to try to do.
