Hello there,
I recently re-read my Unit 3 post and was very disappointed in my own progress. In fact, I feel that I have slipped backwards in my “physical” area of wellness. I was about to say “due to unforeseen circumstances”, but then realized that life is all about situations like this. This is the whole point of this class and what we have been learning. The key to Integral Health is that it is “dynamic”, always changing. We need to be aware and learn to adjust to these changes without letting all the good things that we have accomplished fall apart.
I have not been able to be as physically active as I usually am for about a 10 days due to a sinus infection. This infection was due to my immunities being compromised because of a bad diet and not taking care of myself by not getting enough sleep and exercise. I have learned from this experience that I need to be diligent about taking the time to care for myself properly.
I still have not taken the steps to make time to meditate. I am beginning to do it this evening for the first time. It is all good to write about it, but to actually have the “intention” is the key, as I wrote in my final paper. By writing this blog I realize how much I need to stop “talking” and do the “walking”.
My spiritual wellbeing is flourishing. I have made contact with my family for the first time by Skype and have found joy in teaching Sunday school to the children. I am looking forward to doing it more for the first time.
I have found this course very challenging to be truly honest. It asks that we be very honest and look at ourselves and our behavior as a way of treating others as well. It has been really rewarding because it has taught me that it is one thing to read about how to be well, but if you want to learn to help others, you need to be able to apply that knowledge to yourself. The other important thing again, is INTENTION, if you say you are going to do, do it!
Take care
Karin
