Welcome and Reflection
Welcome to my blog. I love blogging and this will be my third one. I look forward to sharing this experience with all of you and hope that we can all learn from each other during this experience.
As it is the month of March and the month in which I turn 40, it is easy for me to reflect. I look back on my life up until this point, think about the choices I have made, mistakes I have learned from and things I have put in motion to change my life for the better. WhenI was younger, 40 seemed so old. Now I am looking forward to being 40. I love that I have waited until now to make the changes in my life that have lead me here. Health and wellness if such a big part of my life now and I can't wait to share that with others. I had to start the journey for myself first and from there it developed into my going back to school, deciding to get involved with health and wellness inititives in my community and state, and deciding how to use the degree once I earn it. I am proud of myself and know that I have finally chosen the right path for me to follow because I was the one who chose it. It was not chosen for me, forced upon me or handed to me. I am working for this. I am earining it.
As far as my experience with the Journey On relaxation exercise. I did not like it and could not really let myself focus on the purpose of the exercise. The guy creeped me out when he was telling me to get undressed and then talking about the science and biology of the experience. I don't want to hear all that. I want the guided imagery. The music was nice and the males voice was soothing and calming but I just couldn't get past his words..

This is my first time blogging and I hope I am doing it right. It is very nice meeting you. 40 is a great age I should know I am 41 and I am surviving school, lol.
ReplyDeleteKristi,
ReplyDeleteI think the 40's are great! I am 45 and starting my life in a totally new direction with life lessons and a new perspective. I am way more confident, but much more accepting of admitting when I am scared or nervous about trying something new. I am developing skills that make trying better, and accepting that everything has an experience that I can learn from. I think our life experience gives us the advantage to encourage people that life is worth more than just existing, but living it to the fullest!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am nearing my 40's, and I'll confess that I have felt like it was all downhill after I turned 25 lol. I got my first gray hair when I turned 30, and it is much harder to lose weight and look good without making putting a lot of effort into it. That being said, I always recall what my mom once told me, that she had enjoyed her 40's much more than she ever did her 20's, because "you are smarter" and because "you don't worry about stuff as much". Now that I'm in my 30's and on my way to my 40's, I can see the truth in that. I always thought that it was the teenage years when people struggled with self-identity issues, and assumed that once they hit adulthood, they had it figured it. But in my own experience, I do not believe that is true, and from my observations. I think it is great that you have found your path and are happy with it because you chose it yourself. I can almost feel the joy of your success in becoming your own person, congratulations. I struggle with these relaxation exercises at times, mainly because I don't like to take the time to sit and listen to them. However, now that I am becoming more relaxed and changing my perspective, I am more open to enjoying a relaxation exercise. It is too bad he creeped you out, lol. Better luck with the next one! It is nice to meet you.
