Hi all!
My name is Ryan and I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful daughters that I affectionately call "Bean" and "Bug." My husband is in the Army and we are stationed in Kansas. It's not my favorite place, but for now it is home.
I am currently working on finishing up my Bachelors in Health Science. I would love to work in the medical field, but with so many options I was unsure of where to start. I feel this degree has helped give me insight into many different areas of health care. Right now I am leaning most toward Public Health or Nursing.
I honestly struggled thinking of a reflective statement about myself. I kept coming back to quotes that I felt fit me, rather than my own sentiment. After a lot of thought I realized that was the whole point...to reflect. I think in hindsight, I probably don't spend enough time doing so. I get so busy with the day to day activities, and have such a love for helping others, that I really do not allow for a lot of "me time." With this in mind, I will focus on more relaxation and thought with myself.
The relaxation exercises did not really work for me, but I often have a hard time with my mind wandering. With 2 kids, 2 dogs, and my husband (all currently home for Christmas break) it is difficult to concentrate on anything but the noise in the house! I usually get my most peaceful time on a normal work/school day when they are all gone and I do my workout. I really tried to focus on it, but it was not the right time. I think it would be far more enjoyable if I had complete peace and quiet.
I am really enjoying this class, so far. Imaging linking your mind with your body for positive physical health is an amazing concept!
