Meditating for the week was quite a challenge. I didn't dedicate as much time each day as I would have liked to, but I did still manage to do it everyday. I did my best to find a quiet spot in the house after the children went to bed. I mainly just focused on finding a relaxed position and focused on my breathing. I then tried to let my thoughts go and relax my mind, letting go of the day's stress and focusing on finding my center and easing my mind, body, and soul. The first couple of times was difficult, but as I practiced more throughout the week I found it easier to get to the point where I was the day before. I can see how incorporating meditation into your daily life can lead to some very positive changes and experiences.
"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"
This type of saying leads me to think of my military experiences when I was a Sergeant. One of your jobs as a Sergeant was never to ask your men to do something you couldn't or haven't before, and if its a first time experience, you simply lead from the front. The same goes in a health and wellness profession. I could not recommend some type of dieting, exercise, meditation, etc., if I have never tried it myself before. Anyone can work in a position where they tell people what they should do without having the correct knowledge of what they are actually telling them to do. As a health and wellness professional it is your job to experience new things and evaluate them for others to try. Take a yoga class, try martial arts, meditation, diets, whatever, then you can give people proper feedback on how it may help them.
