Hello Everyone,
This week I have been under high stress as I was in a car
accident that left me with a compression fracture of spine. The mediation helped me to calm down and not
focus so much on the pain I am enduring.
I can continue to apply the practice of mediation to help foster greater
health and wellness in my life.
The saying” One cannot lead another where one has not gone
himself” from a wellness perspective means that one can’t lead someone to
wellness aspects if they have not practiced and experience it themselves
(Schlitz, Amorok & Micozzi, 2005, P.477). The health and wellness
professional can’t effectively assist another person in obtaining wellness if
they themselves are not engaged in practices of health and wellness. Hope you have had a positive week.
Katrina A.

Katrina,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your accident and I wish you speedy and full recovery. I am glad to hear that are were able to find some relief in meditation and alleviation in your pain. Every day meditation/prayer is proven to be healthy and to comprehensively affect body, mind and soul. As I go through this class, from week to week, I feel that I become stronger and stronger and I am more of myself myself and my surroundings.
What you said about the quote, is very true as well. If one does not engage into something, they will not be able to lead others to it. There is saying that "Be the best you can. For some people you are the only Bible they will ever read". Same comes to health. If one cannot lead by example, it will not lead others to success.
