1. 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?
The way that I rate myself physically I would have to say a 5. The reason why I say this is because I can stand to work out more, and I can also stand to eat healthier. On the physical side of everything I often find myself getting really lazy and tired at times. My spiritual well-being I would have to say it’s a 10, the reason being I grew up in church and throughout my 38 years of living I have seen a lot of what was preached to then come to pass that I am a firm believer in Jesus. Psychological I can say that I rate myself a 6 reason being I need to gain control of my thought process, because my brain is always at work and it been this way all of my life, you all probably not going to believe this but I even be thinking of things in my sleep, so yes I really do feel that I need to do more training of the brain techniques.
2. Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
My goal for being more physical it to get me a regimen going as far as working out, and as far as some of the things that I eat replace it with more nutritional things that I can eat, and when I get lazy force myself to get up and become more active. Spiritual side I’ve been slacking a little bit as far as going to church I really need to pick up a lot and start going like I use to. Psychological before I can set myself a goal with this I’m going to need more feedback because I don’t know what to do I this case I’m going to have to get a little bit more out of this class to answer this question.
3. What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
Developing myself a plan like a work out plan, and a nutritional plan, and psychologically I really do feel that I need more me time I guess sometime I really do feel that I could use more quite time to not just get my thoughts in check, but all of me can use it.
4. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)
This exercise was alright, because all while I was listening it allowed me to get really relaxed and even though if it was for nothing but for a little while it allowed me to stop thinking about everything that’s going on around me and just focus on just what was going on that very minute. Nothing could be frustrating about that.
Hi Scottie,
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you have achieved a high level of spiritual wellbeing and good luck with your journey to better physical and psychological wellbeing! Last year, I began a journey to change my physical and psychological wellbeing. I found that changing my diet, adding exercise and practicing yoga have been a great help. It is amazing how drastically good nutrition and exercise can help improve one's physical and psychological wellbeing.

Hello Scottie, Great blog post! That's great that your spiritual side is 10, I believe that it is important to have a spiritual side. Praying can be a great source of comfort, healing, and guides. Here is a wonderful site that may help to encourage you to bring your physical side up to a better standard that you would like. Here is the link-http://www.helpguide.org/life/healthy_eating_diet.htm

Hi Scottie! I was wondering if there is a particular exercise/activity that you enjoy? I find it is easier to get myself to be active if I am doing something I enjoy and if I remove all of my excuses. I'm trying to get back into a routine myself. My schedule has been sporadic of late, but it should be normalizing in the next couple of weeks which will help a lot. As far as your psychological state I was a little confused by it. It sounded a bit like my husband who's mind jumps from one thing to another very quickly. He makes a lot of lists so that he can remember everything that comes to his mind. He does have trouble focusing on one thing at a time, which can be difficult to overcome. I suggested that he put aside anything that is distracting him. The internet (google searching, checking facebook and email, and Netflix) are all huge distractions for him. I'm not sure if that helps with your situation at all though.
