Dream Manager: August 2013

Session 7:
Physical Mastery
After our review of session 6 activities and our scorecard check-in, we started discussing the topic of physical mastery.
First: Rest and how does sleep impact your energy. We discussed our how many hours of sleep we need to feel our best and how we can optimize the amount and quality of sleep we get.
Next: Exercise. Do we have an exercise routine and if we do, what is it. Are we faithful to it. If we don’t have a routine, what do we think our exercise routine should be. We then had to answer the following:

• If you exercised 3 times a week, every week for an entire year, how would:
• You feel?
• Your life change?
• Your clothes feel and look?
• Your energy increase?
• What can you do to stick with your existing exercise routine or to improve your exercise habits?

Next: Food. What does your body tell you about food?

• Do you ever use food for…
• Comfort?
• Entertainment?
• Distraction?
• Fuel?
• What are foods that energize you and that drain you?

Trying to think of foods that energize and drain us was hard! We were supposed to think of 10 foods for each.  I could only come up with 6 for energizing and 7 for draining.  Then we had to answer the question about why we eat the foods that drain us (they taste good!!!!). Then we needed to answer the question of what can we do to consume more of the foods that are energizing for us.
Homework included reading from The Rhythm of Life and finishing our lists of energizing and draining foods.
Next session… Emotional Mastery!
