Wellness and some Crime of the Century

Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?

1. Physical Wellbeing- I would rate my physical wellbeing a 5/10. I enjoy working out and being active but I rarely have the time or the energy. I work full time and go to school full time so finding a spare moment to run down to the gym or take the dogs on a nice leisurely stroll is difficult.

2. Spiritual Wellbeing- My spiritual wellbeing is probably a 5/10 as well. I don’t take much time to stop and smell the roses per say because once again I am short on time and energy. I have always wanted to try my hand at yoga but sadly have never had the chance.
3. Psychological Wellbeing- As for my psychological wellbeing that is actually in fairly good shape. I would give myself an 8/10 because I am overall happy with the way that my life is going. I am a hard worker and excelling in school. My close relationships are sound and I love the people in my life.

Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).

1. Physical- The only goal that I have for myself in this area would be to focus more on it. I would love to be able to have time to spend at the gym and work on my physical attributes. It would be nice to feel better about myself and the way I look and one way to do this is to concentrate on my physical being.

2. Spiritual- My goals for my spiritual being are to give myself time to stop and appreciate life and to also set aside time for activities like yoga which nurture my inner self.
3. Psychological- I don’t really have any goals for myself in the psychological arena. I am pretty satisfied with the way things in my life are going and I love the people that I chose to have in my life.

I really do not enjoy these relaxation exercises. When he starts talking about rainbows and 7 color prisms I am lost. Beams of light shooting through your spine and past your feet as the color red… what?! Then he talks about trees and roots and red light again. This to me is just not relaxing because he is kind of all over the place. I don’t get it, I would much rather just listen to some soothing music and let myself relax that way. I don’t want to hear someone talking to me and making me think about things that make no sense. This simply causes frustration and irritation. No thanks.
