​​​​​​Who am I,​​​​​​​​​ Where am I going,​​​​​​​​​​​ Is this all there is?

My Refocus Workshop Journal




Daily Quote: ​The challenge of life is to change worry into thinking, and anxiety into creative action.

Body: ​It is a throw away day. Get rid of all the junk foods... processed foods and sugar drinks. Replace them with real food. You need to be able to understand all of the words on the labels.

Mind:​ Serotonin is a hormone that controls your moods, and when there is not enough serotonin flowing throughout your brain, you may feel depressed. Since serotonin is created by your body's digestive system, poor eating habits can be a contributing factor when levels are low. Eating right and getting plenty of exercise can help raise serotonin levels and keep you feeling your best.

Spirit: ​Test what you believe in against the “great questions.” ​​​​​​1. Who am I?​​​​​​​​​​​​2. Where am I going?​​​​​​​​​​​3. Is this all there is?​​​​​​​​​ A true belief system of faith will give you an acceptable answer to these ancient questions or at the very least, where to go to find answers.​​​​​​

Emotional: ​Practice active self-care. You are the only one that can or will do it.​​​

Be friendly to all that you meet. Show respect for different customs and beliefs. Greet people with a smile. It will make you feel better and those who you meet. Celebrate the individual differences in people. Accept who you are and what is important to you. Real friends will respect the ideas, interest and talents that you make special.

Day Fact: ​Perception is reality when it comes to your stress. What we hear, smell, feel and think immediately triggers our bodies’ chemical response. The body, mind and spirit are not separate. What we think controls what happens in our bodies.

DWP Quote:​ There is no rest, just slow work.
