Mind and Body Dis-Connection

  1. Based on my reflections, I rate my physical well being at a 7. I am in very good shape, the best I have ever been in but there is always room for improvement. I run 3-4 times a week and am physically active daily with the horses. My  spiritual well-being at a 5. I am lost, when it comes to what I believe. I have had religion forced on me through out my childhood and no I completely reject it. More than a religious being I am a spiritual being. I believe in life and that it is all created equal, nothing is better nor worse, every aspect of life is needed and should be respected. After that, it is all kind of a grey area, Surprisingly,  I rate my psychological well-being at an 8. I am the one all my friends turn to and seem to be the rock of the group. I try to act and not react in life, I am the sensible one that laughs at everything (including myself) and I couldn't hold a grudge against another if I wanted too. I am emotionally stable and understand that no injustice in this world is suffered alone, nor do I take things personally when other lash out.  
  2. Goal for myself in each area include physically to stop taking diet pills (I know, I know) everyone is shocked when I tell them that I do but its not to stay keep skinny, I take them because I need the energy to keep up with my life. Coffee just isn't enough anymore! I am young and work hard now so that I can play even harder later.  Spiritually, I would like to find faith and comfort in myself and in some form of an outlet. I need to research cultures and their religions so that I can give my daughter morals and values a direction.  Psychologically my goal is take a mental vacation for at least 20 mins a day. Just to give my mind a rest, maybe this will also help me ditch the diet pills once and for all too. Blogging is actually helping me with this, so I plan to continue even after the term is over.
  3. The Crime of the Century exercise seemed tedious to me. In order to relax (your are going to laugh) I need to be doing something with my hands. I find art a great outlet and I spray paint or paint with acrylics to unwind. I also like to just brush my horses and talk to them in a soothing voice as it soothes me. I should start using a mantra to help me focus and balance myself. The problem with this exercise is that I cant just sit there and listen to audio, I tend to tune it out. I found it frustrating and hard to focus as I lost interest a few times.

  1. The funny thing about your title is I still don't have a clue why you choose "I hate peas" as your blog but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling because when my little cousin was 1 yr old he hated peas! He hated peas so much that my uncle made up a song to sing to him. The song was this "Please don't feed me peas, please don't feed me peas, applesauce is nice and so is rice but please don't feed me peas!"

    Just thought I would share:)


    About your horses I love love love horses it was my saving grace after I left my ex. We went to live up in the mountains on a ranch and I took care of the Racking Horses and my favorite the Painted Indian Ponies. They are just so theraputic. Sounds strange but when they laid down I would lay down beside them put my head on my own horse and we would just connect. We are all one of the same Devine being!
