Unit 7

Track # 4 was similar to the rest.  I did like centering my thoughts around one person who I loved and cherished, my late Aunt Liz.  I found it easy to absorb her knowledge and love because before she passed I did it every time I gave her a hug.  My thoughts did start to wonder when just the background noise was going for a long period of time.  It was very soothing and I lightly fell asleep.  I need to improve my focus skills so I don't fall asleep anymore.

The saying "one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"(p. 477) is a true statement.  Until you have experienced something how can you teach someone what do to or expect. This applies to health and wellness professional because you have to lead by example.  When people have seen what you have done and are capable of doing they will be sold on the idea and what to try it themselves.  Its like diet pill or workout plan, if there is no success stories how do we know that it really works. Of course you have an obligation to your clients to be developing your health psychologically, physically and spiritually?  Again leading by example and shows that your profession is dynamic and not one sided.  Implementing psychological and spiritual growth my personal life can be done by simply setting time to meditate.  Life is often fast speed and we don't allow time for ourselves.  Setting the time to take care of our spiritual growth is a great start to leading a healthy life.

  1. Hi Andrea,
    I go into a sleep mode with all most all of them. I started sitting straight up to listen and I dont fall asleep.
    I totally agree with your reasoning on leading from the stance of having been there and done that. This is going to be vitally important for generation x. (I think thats who they are called).
