You are your own worst critic

Hi!

In the journey this week a lot has happened. I am busy, but not stressed as I was last week. I am officially out of San Diego, and have started my journey cross country. Staying with a few friends hear and there. I have been in Denver since Saturday around 2 am. The drive by myself was long, but I did it and felt accomplished. Since then I have woke up feeling very refreshed and free. Full of excitement. This journey is making it hard to accomplish school work, but I am still doing my best.

While reflecting on myself this week things have drastically changed and I hope to only improve from here. My physical well-being is probably on a 7-8 because I feel like a rock star in the gym and my habits have continued as I am "on vacation" I had the most amazing workout yesterday in a natural red rock amphitheater and that was amazing. Not only was it motivating, but it was so pretty and peaceful. Great time to reflect! My spiritual well-being is on the low end maybe like a 3. I have to spend a lot more time on that in order to feel positive about my spirit. I intend to do a ton of that while in Hawaii in the next year. As far as my psychological well-being I'm sitting in the middle at a 5. I am in a state that is very mixed. I feel very positive about what is coming my way and my growth, but emotional that things have changed so drastically in the last two weeks even.

My goals for each area for the next 3 months is to maintain the good habits I have formed, and enforce new habits to transform my inner state of being. I want to practice meditation or calmness, continue my workout routine when Im home in the south that is a hard one along with eating right. I want to cook more healthy food. I would also like to research spiritual growth, and maybe one day go on a retreat. I need to mold my mind to think more positive. I try now, but I have been doing baby steps. I am ready to dive in!

I must say the relaxation exercise this week was very different!!! I enjoyed it. I felt relaxed. I couldnt control my breathing as I wanted to, because the altitude here in Denver is really messing with my head and lungs, but I did release some of even that tension. My body felt tingly, and Im not tired after. I want to get everything done so I can move on to what is next. I am not perfect at this and have to find my absolute calm place, but I absolutely did better this week than last week.

Here is to wishing us all a better day and week. More confident and positive in your lives. I certainly am practicing a better way and cant wait to share my journey with you next week. :)
