Unit 3 Reflections

Based on my reflections and on a scale of 1 to 10 , I rate my spiritual well being at about a 6.  I am not where I use to be spiritually but I am not where I think I  should be, I am still a WIP(Work In Progress). My Psychological well being is at an 8.  Psychological well being is the state of good mental and emotional health.  I can manage my stress enough so that it doesn't interfere with my ability to enjoy life and participate in society.  There are times when I am not mentally or emotionally at my best, but I am able to cope with my problems with the help of prayer and being physically active.

 My physical well being is probably at an 8. I am not as physically active as I have been in the past but I am working on it every day.  Every week I say I am going to go a little bit longer on my workouts.  I use to have the time when I would exercise from 60 to 90 minutes 6 days a week.  I used to stress about it but I don't any more, I just do what I can when I can and let the rest go.

The goal that I am trying to reach spiritually is to spend a little bit more time in prayer and meditation.
Prayer definitely changes things.  Spending more time in the word is and will continue to help me in every aspect of my life.  The goal that I set for my psychological well being is to think positive thoughts.  That will help with the everyday stressors that pop up every now and again.  God gave us life not fear, so if I put my trust in him and don't doubt he will bring me out of whatever wilderness I find myself in.   Everyday I  pray for strength and courage.

  For my physical well being I set the goal to exercise 6 days a week for 30 to 45 minutes and eat more healthy whole foods every day.  Setting a short term goal of losing 5 pounds a month is more realistic for me, my long term goal is about 25 pounds, but I will take it slow.  Take one day at a time and concentrate on loving kindness through prayer.  I completed the relaxation exercise the crime of the century and it frustrated me because I could only see just a glimmer of each color, it was kind of hard to imagine and concentrate.  I think I will try it again when I have more time to devote to it.
