Wellness Reflection Unit 3

My reflection on a scale 1-10 (ten being optimal wellbeing)

I rate my physical well-being a 5 because I am not doing as much physical fitness as I would like to be doing.  Nor do I incorporate any type of core strengthen or breathing exercises in to my daily routine.  I do enjoy brisk walking in my subdivision when the temperature permits. I also prefer to take the stairs versus the elevator during my work week. 

I rate my spiritual well-being as an 8 because I feel that I am preparing for my calling by going to school.  I feel peaceful in the choices that I am making in my life and I have a connectedness with a higher power and with other who I come in contact with.  I feel happy in my spirit and it feels good. 

I rate my psychological well-being an 8 because I think that I have emotional and cognitive competence as well as good judgment skills. Staying true to myself helps me a lot in this area. Also, having a great support system with my mother, my sister and with my boyfriend keeps me grounded.

If I had to develop a goal in my physical area it would surely be to work on core body strengthening and use my new elliptical that is in my garage at least twice a week for starters. My goal for spiritual well-being would be to find more time to do some breathing exercises.  Getting more sleep would be great.  I can also start out with 15 minutes sessions of some type of mediation once a day before going to bed at night. A goal to increase my psychological well-being would be to not lose sight of what I am already doing.

I enjoyed listening to the relaxation exercise. For me, the emphasis on using the colors I found to be beneficial.  Last week his voice kind of annoyed me but this time it was helpful.
