This is a very true statement. I think that a lot of the help we give out is based on personal experiences. I think that giving advice from a personal place is far more valuable than a non personal one. I think that it almost gives it more credit. We definitely have a sole obligation to our patients to be the best we can be, to give anything less is to "sacrifice the gift". I think that it is always important to take a biased opinion and not subject to much of ourselves on our clients however, I also find it important not to be too robotic. I think that I can implement psychological and spiritual growth by finally committing a real time to meditate!!! as seen from most of my posts I have neglected to do so throughout the course of the class because of either laziness or stress both I think can be improved by meditation!

unit 7
This has been a horrible week to try and attempt any form of meditation or wellness. I listened to the exercise and I even tried to allocate a time in my day that I could meditate this however, like usual however more so did not work out. I am currently on leave and I have spent a great deal of time hanging out with my family and eating as many Christmas baked goods as humanly possible. I also have caught up on a copious amount of sleep. I know that in our reading and even in my own life that meditation increases psychological and spiritual wellness however, I think if I could make the time I could really benefit from these things. I just however, have fail to do so.

This is so true we cannot give advice without experiancing it ourselves. If someone asks us why do it this way or how do you know this works we have to be able to tell them by experience. They will trust us more and accomplish more in the long run.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Jennifer, I hope that you have enjoyed your Christmas holiday with your family, friends, and loved ones’ this year. You know Jennifer, although it did seem like this past Christmas was a horrible time for attempting meditation or wellness, but really it’s one of most important and best timely timeframe to complete a meditation practice and please allow me to explain my thoughts. To me, mediation is not just used for when we are stress-free, but it is created to bring us from the darkness of stress and deliver us to the light of wellness for which is continued to maintain balance upon. Mediation assists us with cleaning up and re-balancing our minds’ traffic-jam of thoughts. For example, during this holiday season, we are thinking of what gifts to buy, how to create time for school work/wrapping gifts, and why is my sister and grandma still calling me to ask me the same question after I just told them? Well these are my thoughts so far upon this topic; thanks for reading and I would love to hear from you.

Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteWhereas meditation sounds so simple in its explanation, making the time to do it daily or at all is not as easy. You mentioned that you are home on leave and enjoying the holiday with your family and all of the goodies that go along with celebrating. A few years ago I gave up eating sugar and white flour in processed foods. This experience has proven to be so beneficial to how I feel physically, with less cravings for foods that are unhealthy, but more importantly it has given me a clarity in my thinking and ability to focus like I never did before. When I was eating the sugar/white flour products, I had a more difficult time not only focusing on what I was doing but also achieving the ability to start new things. Perhaps eating more goodies than you normally do could be a partial reason why it was so difficult to do the exercises this week. Just a thought.
Happy Holidays,
Jen
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteYes I would agree with you about having a bad week. My Fiance has been going to the doctor and they think that he may have colon cancer :(. Everything seem to be piling up and it seems that I can never get ahead. I couldnt even comperhend this weeks exercise. I hope everything gets better with you so that you may have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
