The key role of thought in wellness and healing

As a mother I try to remind myself that I am my daughter's first and most accurate healer whenever she is not felling well. The loving kindness exercise helped me exercise my level of compassion and led me to reflect on the amazing ways I can help heal others without the intervention of the person or conventional medicine. The subtle mind exercise focused on quieting the mind as well as staying aware of reactive thoughts that may hinder that healing process learned of in the loving kindness exercise. I find it hard to control thoughts of doubt in myself although I do understand that thoughts of doubt are unproductive,
Spiritual wellness is important to the mind and body as the spirit leads the person. Taking note of our mental state can help keep the mind clear of unproductive thoughts which can hinder the spirit and body from their optimal states of flourishing.

Person-Centered Wellness

On a scale from 1-10 I rate my well-being as follows in the following catagories:

Physical well-being: 7
Spiritual well-being: 8
Psychological well-being: 7

A goal  i have set for my physical well-being is to get better at my Yoga practice and to practice at least  5 days a week. I want to get better so that I can teach free Yoga lessons in my community to help others practice applicable mind-body therapies.

A goal I have set for my Spiritual well-being is a daily goal of at least 20 minutes of meditation. I try to make sure I get at least 20 minutes of silent time daily but I would like to become more in tune with my subconscious by listening to my thoughts and practicing intentional thinking and quietness. This will help me achieve a goal of mental wellness for my psychological well-being and allow me to properly control my emotions better than I currently do.

The exercise helped to relax me and actually helped me to sleep better. I was able to completely relax my mind with the breathing techniques introduced and it gave me a few new mantras to complete each day which will remind me of the relaxing feeling I felt while completing this exercise which I have over 3 times already.

Peace, Love & Light!!

I welcome you to journey on this path of finding inner peace, mental health, & a physical health gain. I am a firm believer in fostering good mental health in order to achieve optimal physical health and as I take this journey into receiving a Bachelors of Science in Health and Wellness, I am finding my more intuitive thoughts to hold true. 

My experience with the Unit 2 exercise was one of reaffirmation that my thoughts in fact control my physical outcome for the day and that I can mentally heal myself. Knowing this tells me that my thoughts are limited to my mental capacity and that I must exercise or train my mid daily. 

My goal with training my mind is that I come to a level of flourishing that will allow me to mentally heal others as well. 

-Peace, Love, & Light. T.
