Hello Classmates & Professor,
1) After taking some time to reflect the following is
how I would rate my physical, spiritual, and psychological well-being on a
scale from 1(low) to 10 (highest) and why.
Physical well-being: 9- My physical well-being did not
happen overnight and took several years to finally make physical activity a
part of my everyday life. 5 – 6 days a week you will find me either
doing a kickboxing class or doing a 5 mile run. I know that when I am taking
care of my physical well-being it is also taking care of my psychological
well-being. The two really go hand in hand for me. I am healthier and more
physically fit now at the age of 37 than was I was 20!
Spiritual well-being: 5 – This area could use
some focus and work on. On a regular basis I will not just sit and do a
relaxation video such as The Crime of the Century. I feel I always need to go
a 100 miles an hour and if I take 10 – 20 minutes to do this video I
could have used that time to do something else such as dishes. In the past
when I was going through some troubling times I would often listen to videos on
how to clear your Chakra’s and found them to helpful. I need to dedicate
at least 5 minutes a day to start building my spiritual well-being not matter
if things seems to be going good or bad in my life.
Psychological well-being: 8 – I truly believe
that since my physical well-being is high on the scale it closely correlates to
my psychological well-being. I know my mental thinking is much clearer and able
to deal with my daily stressors in a much more productive way when I am taking
care of my physical well-being. However, there are those days when my
psychological well-being is in the left field! In those cases I call a friend
who is able to look at things from a different direction and gets my thinking
back on track. I believe I can still work on my psychological well-being and
do with reading and nutrition. If I eat too much sugar my moods are out of
control and not much fun to be around. On the other hand, if my diet is full
of goods such as veggies, fruits, and whole grains my psychological well-being
is much better.
2 & 3) The goals and activities I have set for my
physical well-being is to keep up with working out 5 -6 days and to make sure
to throw new activities so stay way from becoming bored. Without a doubt, my
spiritual well-being needs some improvement. My goal in this area is to spend
5 to 10 minutes a day meditating or listening to relaxing videos and slowly
building my time up each week until I have reached 30 minutes daily. Lastly,
my goal for my psychological well-being is to make sure I am eating a
well-balanced diet. I have found that the days when my eating not
well-balanced neither is my mind! This has only became apparent to me recently
and will continue to strive toward eating a well-balance diet.
4) Watching the video The Crime of the Century was
timed perfectly! I was feeling extremely frustrated and stressed out when I decided
to listen to this video. I went in a quite place, closed my eyes and put on a
head set to block out all outside noise. As soon as he started talking about
the rainbow’s colors and how it relates to different regions of our
bodies I knew he was talking about Chakra’s. I have some reading and
several other video’s related to my Chakra’s and always feel more
relaxed and calm afterwards. This video was extremely beneficial and will be
used over and over again.
I felt the same way when listening to the crime of the century. I knew right away he was talking about the chakras and it really took me back to my divorce, which was so bad....I found myself reading everything in the new age/religious/self help section of every barnes and noble I could find...lol but I must say I learned many new things about myself and it really helped make me a better person.
