The aspects of my life that is most significant source of distress to me is money and school. It always seems that however much I get ahead something happens to put me in a jam. School can become slight stressors as well when trying to balance work and other daily activities while needing to study or work on a project. The greatest possibility for growth and development that I am working on is to manage my time better and prepare myself financially with earning a degree in route to a good profession.
The line of development that is most essential for me at this time I believe is mind. My body and spirit I think are very high. I take good care of my body in regards to eating a healthy diet and being physically active. The source of difficulty for me is mind; I have not channeled my inner peace as far as meditating and controlling my mind to be clear and focus on particular things at once. This is the same area of my life that needs growth and development.
I'm the same with not managing my time very well and making room for everything I need to get done. Money can definitely be stressful, too but I try really hard to not let that affect me. My boyfriend on the other hand gets VERY stressed out about money. I don't know if it is due to his wanting to provide, or just that he doesn't feel comfortable without having a lot there as a cushion. I'm one of those who no matter what's going on, I can usually figure out a way to get by. I have no idea how I do it, but it just seems to happen. My problem is more physical, I think. How do you make sure to have time to exercise and choose the right foods? My schedule is just so all over the place that I can never manage to have regular meals or a set time to work out!
ReplyDeleteThe mind is a a very difficult thing to reign in....it is my biggest problem also. I tend to over think/analyze many things. That is where meditation has been good for me. During my meditation time, I let the thoughts come and go with out analyzing them and it helps me to put some of them to rest and not think about them any more.
ReplyDeleteI think that time management can be an area that many people would agree could use some improvement in their lives. Adulthood brings so many responsibilities that it is quite challenging to balance everything while getting things done in a timely manner. As it relates to developing the mind, I think that it is critical develop an effective level of mental wellness. I feel that I can always continue to grow mentally. I want to be so mentally sound that I develop telekinetic abilities (kidding, but that would be cool).
