So, since the last time I sat down to write, I have been more physically active than in the previous weeks before this class began. I have received my GABA pills and have drawn three Mandalas. I have spend time reflecting on my drawings. I have been more conscious about my sleep. I am more or less good about what I eat - except, I had bread today with a burger. I went to gym in the morning today, walked in the evening, and have been walking on and off during the weekend. I have been less pushy about my self in trying to stay focused. I have been more intentional about sleep. I know we have not read the chapters on sleep yet for class. But sleep debt is a big marker for negative health outcomes.
So from today, I started taking 2 pills in the morning and 2 GABA pills in the evening. My goal is to be consistent with that and be motivated to do the best I can to stay on task. I have plans to go to the Gym tomorrow morning as well. Getting to bed early and rising early has been a problem for me. So, my goal is to hit the bed early today.
We do so much to our body that we do not know. The human body and mind is far beyond the reach of our understanding. Even the little we know is hidden truths. Because how what we know is connected to things we do not know still remains mysterious to scientists, let alone therapists. For example, we all know social relationships do something for us and it improves health. Research has not been able to point out the mechanisms through which things become better for us.
Hopefully, soon - some what persistent changes to persistent :-)

I completely agree with your point regarding how we are unaware of how we treat our bodies. Personally, I have a real disconnect between my physical well being and the impact it has on my mental and emotional health. So that's definitely something for me to work on. Also in reading your previous blogs, i can totally relate to being unable to complete all of the items on the to do list. I do like your suggestion to develop a more detailed/structured list. I am definitely applying that to my time management challenge. You seem to be on a very good path so far... so keep on trucking! :)
ReplyDeleteVery insightful. Keep up the good work and the walking, especially in this nice weather. In regard to going to bed early and getting up early, I've heard that if you make it a habit to set your alarm for the same time everyday, not matter the amount of sleep, your biological clock will set itself. I need to work on that one as well. Good luck.
