At this very moment, I am fighting a bad case of the flu which is affecting all areas of my well being. It really is true that one area, like biological, being out of balance will throw all other quadrants out of balance. I'm having a really hard time focusing on anything so let's see if I can post anything sensible. :)
Physical well being - right now is probably a 3. I've been sicker, but not much and definitely not often. Normally I would rate myself about a 5-6. There are personal goals that I have in place for bringing this area back up to the 8-9 that it was a year ago.
Spiritual well being - I have been working hard over the last several months to help bring myself into balance in this area. I have always been a spiritual person, but as I get busy my spirituality generally got pushed to the back seat. I would rate myself about a 6-7 normally in this area and am working on increasing that number.
Psychological well being - I have also been working very hard in this area over the last few years. It has been a long, hard road, but I have come a long way. I would rate myself a 8-9 in this category on most days. I try to stay present and focused on positive intentions.
My goals to increase my harmony in all areas of my personal wellness are to start dancing again, find a group of like-minded individuals to spend time with, and move to a more forward-thinking community. Dancing is such an important factor in my life that I struggle in all areas when I'm not doing it, so getting back into it now that my body has had some time to heal is a definite must. Moving and surrounding myself with like-minded individuals is also important for my personal growth and development. Being in a community which is depressed and negative doesn't do me any good. I am already in the process of moving to Portland, where I think I'll be able to explore many facets of my own life and the world around me. Not to mention that a change of scenery always does the body good. :)
In response to the relaxation exercise, this time I was very frustrated because I couldn't breathe and was coughing which completely ruined the relaxation. Bummer. I'll try it again later when I feel better.
Hi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you have the flu. That really stinks. But I like your attitude. I am sure in your current situation the last thing you want to think about is your lack of well being. I guess the best think you can do is drink plenty of fluids, get some rest, and relax. I hope you feel better soon.
I always like when I hear that people are surrounding themselves with like minded people. It is my hope to surround myself with even better minded people due to the fact that I feel I have so much to learn.
Feel better

Dancing~ I love dancing, or at least to watch it on TV. My son and I watch the dancing with the stars tonight and we both love it.
ReplyDeleteI also think that dancing is a great way to move the body and make a person feel better about themselves, it is important.
Keep up the good work, although you are sick!

Hi Rhonda,
ReplyDeletePlease to meet you and thanks for your diligence in spite of your illness. Perseverance is a virtue.
I see you like dance. What is your favorite music that motivates you? Did you take lessons? I pretty much have two left feet although I did take a few country and western dance lessons while in Texas. I really enjoy watching others dance and seem to be mesmerized by observing.
What activities or action plan will it take for you to bring harmony back into your personal awareness arena?
My best wishes for a speedy recovery,
Mark
Hi Rhonda, first of all I hope you will get better asap! Moreover, most of us feel like we are not at our peak when it comes to the physical well-being of our lives. I think a lot has to do with environmental distractions, family and work life. Imagine a life where we didn't have to work (Kardashian's)! Life would be so good, we would have time to take care of ourselves and be getting closer to the path of optimal wellness with ease.
