Welcome everyone to my blog! I am quite excited because I have never started a blog before. This blog will most likely be filled with our class assignments but I might add some personal experiences as well. I just started a new journey to help my physical health and I am excited for how this class can help with the mental part! I have started what is referred to as a Whole 30 which involves eliminating sugar, alcohol, dairy, grains, and legumes from my diet for 30 days. I am on my fifth day and I must admit that I do feel much better! My sleep is more restful and I can wake up easier in the morning. I also feel that my anxiety levels have reduced. This has been quite a change for me so I will probably be blogging about my experiences over the next 30 days.
The Journey On relaxation exercise was quite lovely! I was able to feel the change in temperature and weight in my arms. At the time I was feeling like I could just fall asleep but I did "wake up" feeling mentally refreshed and focused. I thought that the music was nice and the speaker's tonality was soothing.
I hope that everyone has fun with their blogs!
I think that the whole journey in any endeavor is all about the mental part.....each day we wake up and decide that we are going to either give it our all, or just coast through the day. Good for you on your whole 30 challenge, and glad that it is making you feel better, but I am curious.....do you plan to add back in the "whole grains" and legumes?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I really do not care that much for most beans. I think that I would be tempted to incorporate peanut butter. I will have to see with the grains because I know how bad they are for you and especially since I have been struggling with my weight for so long I do not want to slide backwards. Thanks for the support!
DeleteGood luck on the Whole 30 Challenge! I have heard of people doing something similar as a cleanse for their body and they felt amazing after their cleanse. However, haven't had a friend do one for a full 30 days, typically, they've done a 10 or 15 day, but they could feel after a few days that they were feeling better as compared to before when consuming other foods. The Journey on Relaxation was very refreshing I thought as well. :)
