Based on your
reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal well-being), where do
you rate your A-physical well-being, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological
well-being? Why?
I think my physical well-being is probably about a 4 or 5. I
am overweight so my physical being is not in the best shape it could be in. My spiritual
well-being could be better as well maybe a 5, I was raised Catholic and ever
since my Dad passed away almost a year ago I have not gone to church unless it
was for my mother. I believe in God, but I have just been mad at him for taking
him at such a young age. It’s taken me a while to realize that I can’t hold
onto that anger. My psychological well-being is a work in progress Id give myself
about a 5 as well. I am much better than I was a few months ago, but I still am
working on things. So many changes have happened this past year and are still
happening it’s hard to keep my head on straight. But I feel I am getting a
better hang on things.
Develop a goal for
yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
A goal for myself physically would be to get to the gym at
least three times a week, I am slowly getting into working out and I am finding
I rather enjoy it! Spiritually I think I need to start talking to God, even if
it is not at church, I need to find a place I can go and think and just talk to
Him about things I need help with. Psychologically I am going to start keeping
a journal, I have always tried to keep one, but I am terrible at it! I have
learned it is really helpful to write down your thoughts and then be able to
see your progress overtime.
What activities or
exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
I can start by leaving myself notes around my place
reminding me of my goals so I stick to them. I already have a gym membership
which is going to help with working out.
Complete the
relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click

I have never been a fan of relaxation exercises, I always
find it odd to listen to someone telling to me breathe deep, and imagine I am
somewhere else. I listened to this and it was interesting but it was not something
I would consider doing again.
