Integral Assessment
I can say I always enjoy the loving kindness exercise. There is a lot of drama and anger happening in my family right now so it always helps me to keep my head on straight and to focus on what is important. The Integral Assessment practice helped me to create a goal to work on. I chose biological because I feel when I went through a lot of the drama in my family that I just went through, that biologically I let my health slip a little. I know that when I am excelling in that area, my mind is so much better due to the endorphins and the serotonin. Otherwise, I tend to be a downer towards myself. I want to get back to being happy. I absolutely love, love, love yoga and use to do a lot of it before all of this happened and it is my happy place. I use to do gymnastics when I was a kid and I think this is the closest thing I can get to feeling like that happy kid again, and it helps me to focus on my breathing and my mind so I have already started back to classes, but after this assessment I now aim to make it more of a point to schedule it as a part of my daily practice.

Hi Tonyah,
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you are getting back into yoga and trying to be that happy kid again. We can easily react to family problems and troubles and foget to take care of ourselves. If we don't take care of ourselves we can't take care of others. If we can feel positive and happy, and our family memebers can see that, what a great way to set and example. Keep positive and take care of yourself.

Hi Tonyah,
ReplyDeleteI am digging the loving-kindness exercise as well! I feel almost like a pro now as I've been practicing it every day and it continues to take me to a comfortable and familiar place. I also love yoga as well and have started slowly incorporating it back into my life. Sometimes it can be hard to accomplish in my house with my little ones, but I think I'm going to try getting up extra early before they wake up or even after they go to bed to make it an every day thing. Congrats on restarting gymnastics! Cheers to a healthier you!
