| Fulfilling My Needs |
| So I attended a speech for
Women's Week yesterday afternoon. The speaker was not very good
and she kept stumbling over words and repeating the phrase "and
um...yeah, um..." about ever five minutes which quickly became
annoying. Her over all message however was very
interesting. She was discussing preventative healthcare and
fulfilling your body's every need, not just the physical ones.
According to this woman, who's name I did not happen to catch, you must
fulfill your emotional, spiritual, and physical needs in order to be a
complete and healthy human being. I realized that as of late I have neglected my emotional and spiritual needs and in order to become a complete person I should start paying more attention to these aspects of my life. I have to stop living in survival mode. I cannot even remember the last time  I attended church or when I sat down and
discussed my emotions with people. I think I am going to start
making more changes in my life. Perhaps I will start attending church
again. I am not sure about that however I do need to make changes in my
life. Everything in moderation, I don't remember who said that however I do remember that those words resounded with me. I need to stop drinking pop with every meal and stop having a salad with every meal. I need to start exercising a little bit more and stop procrastinating when I don't want to do something. I need to pay more attention to the details and stop only considering the big picture. I am going to make a concerted effort to fulfill all of my body's needs from now on and not just the basic ones. |
