Unit 10: Summation

My Unit 3 assessment still holds true today.  There is much deeper meaning in all areas but I remain a 7 which I predicted.  I did and still feel that the more I know doesn’t change my rating since there is always lots of room for improvement as Olympian Fitness has no limits.  The only thing that could happen is I could drop down but right now I’m so motivated to achieve the best health possible that I doubt that will happen. 

I’ve exceeded my meditation goals and the practice has become more frequent than I had predicted.  I’ve not been able to share my meditation experiences with my husband as he just doesn’t get it.  He’s a wonderful man but he’s not feeling it.  I’ll continue up my own ladder.  He’ll get interested soon.  I love that short sessions are possible and that I can calm the mind even in the midst of an encounter.  My nutrition remains sound.  My exercise routine is sporadic but I’m covering the bases with short sessions.  I struggle with a fitness routine being a habit.  I think alternating activities will help my boredom.  I’m mentally in a good place.  I’ve settled into a good doable plan and I’m not far from making it happen. 

I have definitely improved my well-being as a result of this class.  I’ve made it a life-style change so I often forget that I’m in a class.  I’ll say “I don’t have to keep doing this.  It’s just a class.”  Then I ask myself “why not?  It’s working for me!”  My reward is better relationships with others.  I’ve seen differences in my plan of attack and also my reactions when dealing with others.  Less drama for me and when I don’t participate in it people stop talking about it.  They calm down since I’m not adding to their craziness.  My health is better.  I have a peace.  I do find long meditation sessions very difficult.  I can’t last 30 minutes or even 15.  I’ll continue with 5 minutes many times per day and work from there.  It seems to be working fine for me.      

This whole experience has already helped me deal with others.  Some want to ask questions and discuss their own experiences and listen to mine.  I also find some are not interested at all and I’m experiencing a more distant relationship with some.  Maybe it’s simply none of my business!  Or maybe they are hiding from something and don’t want to address their issues.  That’s ok too.  My interpersonal relationships are changing and I believe that’s a good thing.
