All Aspects

There’s been a lot going on in the World of Monica lately. As I’ve been changing, so have the relationships in my life. Ones that no longer serve where I’m going have begun to fade away, while those that support what’s happening, have been growing stronger. It’s interesting to see. Also noticed that while I’m still a little bothered by the fading, I’m more ok with it now than I have been in the past. Guess I’m growing stronger in more than just the physical.

 

So last we met, I was going to test a new knee brace… it works! Now I just need to train my lungs and continue to stretch often… which is what I’m doing as I type this.

I’ve been reading some pretty inspiring things lately. Just finished Born to Run and am now reading Goddess to the Core. Both books have shown me that, yes, I can do whatever because the ability and strength are there, they’ve just been ignored or pushed aside because of something I was told. I’m starting to see little improvements as just improvements rather than ‘not quite what I wanted’ improvements. Every little bit will eventually stack up to a healthy person.

 

When I started this, I expected to get healthier. I hoped to get healthier not just physically but emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc… I started to focus strictly on the physical however and hit road blocks all over the place. Things are slipping into alignment now that I’ve started to explore other aspects of my well being. I’m eating better, being active even if it means some yoga instead of a walk/jog, I’m bringing my spiritual side back into things, and I’m stepping back into my power. Now and then I just sit back, look at myself, and giggle at what I see.

 

This weekend is a Reiki Retreat that my spiritual sister and I have put together for some of the lovely women in our lives. I’m hoping to work some physical activity into our spiritual weekend for that balance. I know a couple of them will be all for it, and one may even have a few things she can share, she is a personal trainer after all!
