Thoughts on well-being!

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 here. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)

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.
