Wellness and my thoughts

Hello everyone,

Wow, to base myself on a scale from 1 to 10...

I would have to say that my current physical well-being is actually around a 3 or 4. You see, I fell down a flight a stairs a couple of years ago and suffered a back injury that has led me through 2 operations, a third pending, and countless spine injections in hopes of being able to overcome the pain that I go through on a daily basis. Therefore, I do not find myself as physically active as I would want or hope for because my body will not allow me to do just that.

My spiritual well-being is hovering because some days are better than others. However, I simply keep my faith with each day and look forward to where it will take me and what I may experience. I cannot simply say that I have a 10 on certain days because I tend to over analyze things and that always leads me to uncertainty in choices that I make but I am working on it!

As for my psychological well-being, I must say that last night I hit an all time low again because a very close friend's mother went into the hospital and was admitted to the ICU and given a ventilator and is now in the process of going into surgery. Having lost my mother 2 years ago so suddenly and right before Christmas has made it a hard process and so now all of this is reminding me of that. However, I must have faith that the outcome of this situation is going to be good because otherwise I do not think I could have even functioned this far today....

My physical goal is to take each day as it comes and to do as much as I possibly can in regards to keeping myself healthy and looking toward a future that will be painless soon.

My spiritual goal is to believe in my faith and use it to keep myself in an understanding, loving, and kind position for those who I come across each day.

My psychospiritual is to remember that my mom is in a better place and that Christmas was her favorite time of the year and by celebrating it, I am truly celebrating her as well.

A new way of Thinking...

After doing our reading for this week, I have truly learned a great deal of information. I must say that this was truly an information packed week worth of reading.

I have also recently watched "Eat, Pray, Love" with Julia Roberts in it. I am not sure if many of you have seen it but it truly is a movie worth seeing! I could truly relate to Julia Roberts's role in the movie and believe that being able to travel and learn the things that she did would truly not only be inspirational but would be in itself a great movement towards finding inner happiness and balance.

I am very interested in learning a way to meditate and be able to relax the day and its worries away this way because unfortunately I feel very stressed as of lately and seem to not be able to sleep or relax my mind enough to get good sleep, even for the small amount of time that I do get some.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions for helping me, trust me, I would greatly appreciate them!
