The Last Hurrah

After looking at my prior personal assessment I noticed that there wasn't any kind of dramatic shift...yet. I am determined to continue to improve and make the numbers I posted in Unit 3 a testament to how far I have come in regards to my health and wellness. My spiritual numbers were basically the same, as this is a strong point for me anyway and my physical and psychological numbers were slightly higher. These last two aspects are the ones that will be the most challenge for me, especially the physical aspect. However, like I said, I am determined to improve.
As far as implementing the strategies that work best for me...I need improving there as well. I am entering an unusually hectic time of year and sticking to my best laid plan is sometimes hard. I continue to try my best and have at least learned not to berate myself too harshly when I fall short. I have to learn to walk before I can fly. I must admit to having a set back when the yoga class that I has signed up for was canceled. It was close to my house and the class schedule fit into my schedule. It was as if my lucky stars were aligning and shining down upon me and then...POOF...it was over. So this leaves me searching for another class that I can work into my hectic daily routine. Prayers would be appreciated!
As far as my personal experience with the class overall, it was a mostly good one. I have truly enjoyed the exercises and getting to know myself a bit better as well as being more lenient and forgiving with myself. I did run into some frustration over the work load. I often felt that the amount of work was working against the exercises and basic tenets of the teachings. It was hard for me some days to really get into the true spirit of the exercises because I had DB's, blogs, tests and exercises to do...not to mention two books to read! I completely understand that this is a higher level course and that there is always more work to be done when taking a class at this level, but it did not keep me from feeling overwhelmed a bit. Overall though, I have enjoyed this class and find the teachings a valuable tool that I can carry with me throughout the remainder of my life. I definitely would take this course again if I had to and hope to find similar courses to enroll in that will improve my life as well as the lives of those around me.
