Hello,
This week I sat down to do the universal loving-kindness exercise. At first it did not do much for me, I than set my self away from outside noise, and started the exercise over. I found that when I was repeating those 4 linees, my thoughts turned to those that I might know that are suffering. Was not anything to serious, pains from a knee surgery or a sore back. Then I found that my thoughts went to how I might be able to help. I thought this was a great exercise to think of others instead of just focusing on your self. The areas in which I have decided were areas that I needed the greatest possible growth and development is biological. I feel that my fitness and nutrtion are areas of my life that I really need to do something about. The last several months I have reslacked off and been burnt out. I need to sit down and come up with a plan that encourages me to eat healthier as well as eating smaller portions. I also need to determine when is the best time for me to do some exercise. This will help me to get myself in better shape. And I know I need to and I need to make the time for it. Like I have said before I want to start yoga when I move into our house. I will have the space to do this. I think that yoga will be good for my health for my body as well as my soul. It will be a great way to have some peace and quite.

Jessica,
ReplyDeleteIt is hard sometimes to find the time to exercise and just spend time to yourself to do a loving kindness exercise. Our life is so busy and stopping to take time for ourselves is not always in the schedule. These exercises that we have been doing in class has made us just give ourselves time to think, not just go from one task to the other.
Enjoy your house and start doing some yoga and have some peace and quite. Remember to take time for yourself.

Those are all really great goals Jessica. I think it is important in life for us to set goals, both short term and long term. It is just as important though, that we don't bang ourselves up to bad if we don't meet them right away. I too, enjoyed the loving-kindess exercise and found it very healing and helpful. Enjoy your weekend, Ashley
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI know for me health and nutrition and exercise has really been a struggle for me this past year. I was on prednisone for my RA and put on weight and now it seems to want to stay no matter what I do. So, I just got a tread mill and will stsrt fresh here soon and pray that I will lose weight fast.
Great post!!
