Can that be enough?


A client went home [her parents’ house] for a long weekend and the exercise program which she had followed faithfully went up in smoke. While she was there she did something she had not done before. She stood up to a controlling parent and refused to be manipulated into seeing a film she considered too violent. In our session she criticized herself for not continuing her exercise program [body/physical quadrant] and only briefly acknowledged the power of standing up to her parent [mind/spirit quadrant]. We do this, don’t we?

 

Here’s the thing: If being happy and living a healthy lifestyle are not limited to eating right and exercising but incorporates body, mind, spirit and emotions - then anytime you grow in one area, you are surely growing and moving toward your goals. Can that be enough?
