Describe the exercise and assessment process. What did you discover about yourself? What area have you chosen to be a focus of growth and development? Why? What are some specific exercises or activities that you can implement to foster greater wellness in this area?
While performing the assessment process I was able to verify two main areas in need of development at this time: Interpersonal and Biological. I have realized that in my current situation where my husband is being forced to live away from my family and I due to military commitments. I am battling the responsibility of being: mother, wife, and profession, and daughter, sole comfort for my two children, care-take and sister.
These aspects of my life are consuming me to the point I am desperately searching for time and energy to do those things which I enjoy: such as weight training, cardio, time with the kids relaxing etc.
Over the course of time I have slowly watched as my physical appearance has changed from that of an athletic bodybuilder type to someone who continuously feels stressed, unmotivated, exhausted and weakened but stress.
Within the past week I have started to make much needed changes to assist me in finding the person I feel is still locked inside somewhere and pulling them to the surface. I feel that by doing so I will be more alive, energetic, and tentative to all aspects of my life. I have accepted a position that will allow me to work daytime hours so that I can be home with my children to sleep at night and assist them with their needs without the continuous exhaustion. It will also allow me to focus on myself and attend the fitness studio more frequently. I will also be traveling during the day so there will be moments I will have to myself to free my mind. Although, I am unable to control mine and my husband’s situation, I feel that it will provide me with the patients necessary to endure the time away and to have strength and energy to push forward and comfort him as well as understand his feelings without his family.
Your comments were definitely exuded from your heart. I am confident that this class and the committment you have made to this class will put you in touch with that inner strength that you possess to get back on track with your exercise program, and family balance. I really enjoyed the honest, open heart, and compassionate message. You are most definitely a helper type personality and individual. Keep up the great work! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
