My Mind-Body-Spirit Rating Reflection
Physically I would have to say that I rate myself at a 7 or 8. I am a runner and I love being active however I my body does not handle my activity level well and I have issues with my hips and bones often so I have to learn to be a bit less active. Spiritually I am a 5 but pushing towards a 8, I am learning to be more in-tune to myself and also to use the techniques we have learned in class such as Journey on Relaxation to understand my spirit more, I want to be able to know who I am on all levels and spiritual is one I struggle with. Psychologically I am a 7, I am not completly screwed up but i have my own demons to face, I left a verbally and emotionally abusive marriage last year and I am still picking up the pieces and trying to learn to trust again and it is hard sometimes. I am learning to lean on others and share what is on my mind more because it does not help to keep things bottled up.

Hi Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you and I have a lot in common. I too, love running outdoors and have some complications doing so due to my physical capabilities. Also, I left a physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive marriage but gained two wonderful handsome boys. Having said that, with all of life's struggles and challenges, the best thing we can do for ourselves is to learn from our mistakes and move on. Therfore I think you rated yourself less than you really are. Physically you are a stronger than you think because you able to handle your boys. I know because having the two together is a challenge and workout. Spiritually you are working towards finding yourself but in order to do so you must completely heal your mind. But because you have been hurt deeply emotionally it kills you spiritually. Words hurt more and stay longer within ourselves than the physical abuse we get. Until you heal your mind you are able to heal your soul. Psychologically you are smarter than you think because you were able to remove yourself from the abusive situation you were once in and you are back in a relationship. Although it will take time to heal and trust again, you acknowledge your weakness and are striving to build it up. Stay strong and I look forward to reading more of your post and seeing you reach your goals because I know you can do it. Good luck.
Hello. Good post. I love the honesty. I would like to be as active as you are. I think that running would be a great release for me. I can agree with you that we all have things that we need to deal with and face. You are not the only one that has things in their life that could use some fixing up and improving. At least you acknowledge it and recognize that there are some things that you would like to see improve.
