Many of you already know that I believe optimal health and wellness is constructed from a marriage of a healthy body and a healthy mind. I do believe that achieving elite levels of fitness can only be obtained from achieving a self awareness with regards to the body…and a self awareness with regards to the SOUL. Or the MIND. Or PSYCHOLOGY. Or the HEART. However you want to call it. I’m using these words loosely– interchangeably.
As I continue my quest for a “better” body, I am feeling that right now I am on my quest for a “better mind.” I am feeling that I am having difficulty accessing my emotions, and in this way, I feel blocked from manifesting my BEST SELF.
I believe that emotions and feelings are the language of the heart. Your heart calls to you, it provides you with feedback to let you know if you are in danger, if you are experiencing joy, if you are on the right track, or if you need to course correct and change your path. If you want to fulfill your heart’s desire, you better damn well be fluent in the language of the heart. This is where I feel I need improvement.
As such, I am inspired to become more conversant in speaking Heart. I am embarking on a 90 day endeavor, challenging myself to better identify my emotions, manage my emotions, and encourage myself to experience the GAMUT of emotions.
Here is the general challenge to myself:
1) Blog something every day for 90 days, even if it’s short
2) Privately journal a minimum of 10 minutes every day, posing to myself a question regarding self-knowledge, mindfulness, emotional health, etc, and answer it
3) I have several mini challenges in addition, such as practice physical stillness, visualization exercises, psychological flexibility, fast one day, take a cold shower, perform a dance, pray, meditate, interview people around heart-centered issues, interview cool people around cool shit (cuz living boldly and fearlessly and taking risks and following your heart and doing cool shit is all related!!), etc…
I know there is a lot going on there, but I hope you understand my gist. My end goal is to become more fluent in the language of my heart, so that I may better listen and provide what my heart wants and needs. I’m seeking to better understand myself. That, my friends, is why I am starting today with 90 Days of Speaking Heart.
This means that tonight I will make the time to journal.
Of course, you will hear from me tomorrow.
Vulnerably yours,
Kristina
