Meeting Aesclepius

Meeting Aesclepius meditation was fairly difficult. I am not sure if it is because I am just having an off week or two or what exactly gave me so much difficulty. I am embarrassed to say that I could not image a mentor or make up a pretend mentor to complete the exercise as the exercise is intended.  I ended up choosing a niece and newborn grandson and attempted to complete the exercise but it just was not tying in together. It looks like I need to get myself together and find someone I consider a mentor, but it does not sound like an easy task. I do enjoy practicing the mindfulness meditation the most and I have done this today while in the doctor’s office. I think it helped me tremendously.  I do plan to continue to practice these in the future because I do believe it has made a difference in the past when I have tried them and currently in the present time, I just need to stay committed to continuing these in the future for my own well-being. 

The saying, “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” applies to health and wellness profession in my opinion as does the phrase “practice what you preach”.  One cannot lead another to stop smoking if they are a smoker themself just as one cannot lead another to a better nutrition and fitness plan if they do not care for themself.
