Meeting Aesclepius

For the record: I Hate Blogging! I'm really more of a type in a quick quip and click 'Post' kind of girl LOL! But oh well...here goes this weeks posts...

Okay, for my meditative practice this week I've noticed that my 'Zen" place is when I'm at the gym and skating. I do this a few times a week and I don't know what it is but when i strap on my pads and lace up my skates I feel like I'm allowed to be in my comfort zone. My happy place. I don't have to worry about if one of kids has a last minute project due, if I have any homework assignments that day, finances, family, relationships, etc. they all just fade away when I turn on my Ipod, crank up my tunes and just skate. It helps me to clear my head of all the garble that can muddle my thoughts and stress me out. plus, it helps me to increase my cardiovascular endurance and continue to be a kick ass roller derby player! Afterwards, I find that I'm in a much better mood thorough out the rest of the day.

I think that the saying "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" refers to a person in the health profession prescribing or recommending a treatment to a patient that they themselves either doesn't believe and wan would use themselves. I feel that making a patient/or client believe in the efficacy of a treatment regimen is important in making getting the patient to be compliant with treatment. I do feel that health professionals do have an obligation to develop themselves psychologically, physically, and spiritually becasue it helps to know and acknowledge all aspects of  patients' lives that can affect their decision making and their coping skills. 

Renegade out.
