What are some strategies that you currently use to maintain a healthy mind, body and spirit?
In class we will be discussing personal wellness and alcohol for college students. So, please respond to the following phrase, "You do not have to be an alcoholic to experience problems with alcohol."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, my biggest things which I do to maintain a healthy mind, body and spirit are:
A) Have "mommy time" with my mom, where we just sit and have special time together. I may be 17 years old, but every girl needs some time as mommy's girl, and my time calms me down.
B) I don't stress about my weight. I was obsessed with it so much in high school that I wasn't allowed to weigh myself. And I'm not as much of a food Nazi. If I want to eat something, I eat it. End of story.
C) Spirit wise...hmmm...well, as of late, my spiritual life has pretty much sucked. God and I aren't really getting along all that well right now, and it's my fault. I have my wants, and if they aren't apart of God's plans, well, he needs to make some changes in his book. There are somethings that I refuse to budge on. But I digress...
All in all, to stay happy and healthy in mind, body, and spirit, I do fun dumb things. I play a board game with my sister, a video game with my mom watching, or just sit back and watch NCIS.
On the subject of alcohol, I've been drunk twice in my life. The first time was with a friend, and I ended up calling my boyfriend's house at ten o'clock at night and rambling on for two hours. The second time was after my junior prom, where someone had spiked the punch. I was so sick that night; I had my face pressed to the toilet seat because it was cold, and my boyfriend ended up sitting with me in the bathroom running a hand through my hair. Not exactly the ideal after prom experience.
I am no where near an alcoholic, but I've had problems with the substance. I've sworn off of it until I'm legal, and then my limit is only one drink. Uno. Ichi. Un. (Dose bad spelling count for a foreign language?) And quite frankly, it I find out any of my music student friends are drinking (never mind the illegally part, I'm talking about at all), I'll whip them all. Not that I'd have to worry about that; we are music students after all. We don't have time to go and get drunk.
I'm not sure if that's a very good response to the given statement, but it's what I felt upon reading.
Now ladies (and gentelman), as it is late and I have an 8:30 class in the morning, I shall depart for now. The lovely calls from my bed are too tempting to resist. Until next time everyone! Ja Ne!
