Greetings my fellow Wellness Peers!
I am very new to the blogging experience and have to admit that I haven't quite mastered it. Actually I am not ever sure I was successful in creating my Blog as I do not see any comments. One of my Wellness Peers mentioned she commented but on my end I can not see it. Can any of you see me?
I took this class in hopes to balance out my lifestyle and incorporate more healthier aspects. This is my second week and I am just realizing that I am a ball of knots inside and out. This is my last term with Kaplan and I have never felt so much anxiety before (other than when I had to take STATS). The thought of reading and researching now drain what little energy I have inside. Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything it actually take practice for me to think positively 100% of the time. I seem to give off a positive energy when I am helping others (my concentration is in Human Services) however when it comes to me personally I do not always practice what I preach. Work in progress as I know how important it is to think positively and how the mind really is connected with the body.
The relaxation exercise was mind blowing. Yes, mind blowing! I have tried other techniques and honestly I would spend the entire time thinking about the million and two things I had to do once my session was over. But not this time. I actually felt the blood going to my arms and hands. I actually could not move them. And then when I redistribute the blood back to my stomach I could raise my arms. And yes, I did feel lighter and have more energy. I actually feel very optimistic at this very moment. I sure hope you all can see my post. I could only "add" 11 people and somehow I managed to either be "following" 4 others or they are "following" me. But guess what? At this very moment I do not have any cares :-)
Peace&Blessings

Hi T,
ReplyDeleteI love your honesty and hope the tools we learn in class will help reduce your anxiety! I see your blog - I hope you can see my response. Congrats on your upcoming graduation! :-)
Hi T,
ReplyDeletePeace & blessings to you as well. It sounds like you're in the same boat as me, always helping, always putting others well being before our own. The good side is that you recognize it now and you know there are somethings you can do to change them. Take some time out for you, recharge your batteries and smile! I guess that's the best we can do!
Thank you Cynthia! I am just now seeing your response. I apologize for the delay. I am having trouble accessing my own Blog. I enjoyed the two relaxation exercises. This week was a little more challenging. I obviously have more work to do on myself. But I have made a commitment and I believe that it will improve my overall health.

Ummm, honey?? Thank you for your response and encouragement. It is difficult to take time out for myself when I am a single parent. However it is necessary for me to do so in order to be healthy, think clearly, and work at my optimum level for myself and for those times when others are in need. Smiling :-)
