Blog post:Visualization

In this weeks meditation, I have to say that my choice was my mother. When I think of strength, patience, guidance, agility and so much more I think of my mother. She was all and more of who I am. This week was trying for me, while I am so busy trying to focus on a subtle mind through contemplative practice, I need to work on other areas in my life such as dealing with people and accepting and understanding their difference. I feel that that is a large area in which I have to grow. I don't know if this practice was coincidence or intentional. Whatever it was it is what I needed to practice this week. Both meditation and mindfulness is essential to my overall health and wellness. This is because, these concepts help me to be aware of things going on in my life. Through these concepts I am more susceptible of adapting to successful inner change. Like I've said before, I am a work in progress and I want to get better. In order for me to foster these concepts into my life, againg I have to be willing, able, and accepting of change and what it will being to me and for me.

"One cannot lead another where one has not gone" to me states that experience is a great teacher. If I have not done it than Surely I can not walk you through it and discuss the outcome, if I myself have not done it. The best I can describe it is how I achieved my successful weight loss. To this date and for well over a year I have been talking to people about health and nutrition. I could not get anyone to commit to making better lifestyle change. Therefore I decided to be my own protege and commit to my own lifestyle change. In doing this I successfully lost 30lbs and a minium of 10inches. I now am a poster child for many peoples they try to understand my discipline and dedication to greater health. As a leader in healthcare I feel that it is essential to always increase your knowledge, whether it be through education or real experience, to always provide exceptional service to your clients/patients so that they are comfortable sharing their experience and confiding their experiences and care to you.

I van implement these concepts through understanding life and how I endure, conquer, and evolve through experience. Chance Nd change offers both, I need to be accepting of both.

  1. Well it sounds like your Mom was a great choice to use during this exercise to focus on. You know one thing I need to remind myself about the people we choose to focus on is that they too had to make these choices in their lives. From the outside it appeared they had it all together and truth be told they had been through the same conflicts or similar ones within that we are moving through. I think this is why we are so willing to choose them to focus on, it ties into that quote "One cannot lead another where one has not gone".

    So in the midst of the chaos don't forget to stop and take time for yourself and preparing your mind for the next event. I think all too often we are willing to just keep pushing through life without truly preparing our minds to be ready for the next hurdle. Hang in there and I will be praying that you find that time for yourself this week!

  2. Good evening Ann, I too thought of my mom while practicing this exercise. I chose my mom because she is strong and she seems to be able to successfully think of others and sincerely care about people. I know I care, but I want to be able to care without having to spend a great deal of effort into it.

    I agree with you that if you are not leading a healthy lifestyle, you cannot teach or show others to lead healthy lives.

    Have a wonderful night!
