Well, hells bells, the time has come to stop avoiding a personal evaluation. How is my physical health, mental health, spiritual health etc... As I said on my Life Coach page, https://www.facebook.com/CoachLorelei , I am giving myself a B- because that sounds better than C+
It has been 10 weeks since my abdominal hernia repair surgery, so I am about as outwardly healed as I am going to get. I have to get back on track with both Weight Watchers, group exercise and especially weight-bearing exercises. It takes little to nothing to make my weight creep back up. My blood pressure is running a little higher. Pain and stiffness are not staying at manageable levels, and my moods are all over the map. I need the daily exercise as a stress-buster. All these physical and physiological symptoms tie directly into mental health. Without a new, fall and winter brand of workout schedule, I will procrastinate and achieve very little, only leading to further depression.
Spiritually I am an ever-evolving creature, whose relationship to God and the earth will never be set in stone. That part of me is tied to servant leadership. I have done very little as far as taking new initiative at the church where I have been for the last couple of years. I have gone from the person who has been everything from an infant in the nursery, senior warden, to the janitor, in the church I had belonged to for the 50 years prior, and was called to fill in some duty about every sunday. I didn't complain much at the time, but when the atmosphere began to change for me, I went to another church where I was sitting in the back as nothing but a practicing member. Recently I signed up to participate in nursing home and hospital visitations. The point I was trying to make is that it is about the servant part, and I am trying to wake that up again. I have to once again move outside of a comfort zone, and push myself to stay in balance with what the world needs from me. Or I need from the world. Hell I don't know, I just do better all over when I am trying to feed the sheep. I got that handed down from Mom, Dad didn't care a whole lot about anyone's sheep but his, until he was older, and the losses with aging helped level the playing field. I am also going to seek some continuing education as a minister.
So, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. (Thanks Kenny Rogers and The first Edition) It is somewhere in the B- range. I had a legitimate reason to back off and reevaluate where I was, and where I was headed, when I was blind-sided by yet another surgery, but that time is past. I am asking the WOman in the mirror to put her money where her mouth is. Cowgirl Up!
