Self assessment can be a difficult thing. It opens up our eyes to things we may not want to see or admit. This exercise has been difficult because I have been in a denial. Denial that my physical health is somewhere between a 4 and 5, my spiritual being is at a 5 and my psychological well-being is somewhere around a 6. When I started this process I realized I was neglecting me. I've cried a lot, evaluated areas of my life and pushed through the other side for possibilities. This isn't going to be instantaneous. I have to work hard at improving my well-being, and I finally see why it is important.
Some of the things I am incorporating into my process for well-being is better nutrition and more activity. Decreasing negative self-talk and saying one thing (to myself) everyday that is positive. Working on my spiritual being is taking more time. I am working on some form or meditation or reflection time to connect with my representation of spirit.
Meditation would be a great tool for me, but I am struggling with the right form. I found that I don't do well with meditation offerings were the person speaks; or maybe when a man is speaking. All I know is that I don't trust it and fight against it. The link from Seaward isn't the style that works for me. I think I would do better with an instrumental. I will continue to find the best one for me.
