Unit 3 Exercise~Blog Post

A - Physical Well-being - I rate myself a 5 here. I rated myself this because though I am not obese, I am over weight and realize I do not get the adequate amount of physical exercise for my body to be healthy. It is funny that this is the topic for our blog this week, because I discussed this exact stuff with my immediate family this week for the holiday. I need to find ways to incorporate exercise in my daily life regardless if I have the time or not.

B- Spiritual well-being - I rate myself a 7 here. I chose 7 because I believe in my higher power God and I know how to live by his words and I practice that on a daily basis. However with that said I don't go to church to support my well being in this manner, but I do pray. I feel that I need to read his word more often and talk to him more often as well.

C- Psychological well-being - I rate myself a 5 here as well. I do this because I wasn't raised in the best of circumstances, and tend to live my life with this on my mind. I tend to worry a whole lot and fear the unknown. I know that I need to do better with this. I have a habit that results of this psychological matter, and that is eating at night awake or asleep. This is an impulse that I can't shake. So I need to take care of this and the unresolved issue I deal with and I feel my psychological well-being will be a higher ranking.


Physical Goal - I want to make sure that I incorporate at least 15  minutes of heart racing exercise at least 3 to 4 days a week.
Spiritual Goal - To write to my higher power God in a journal and also to read a scripture from his word at least once or twice a week to my children and myself.
Psychological Goal - This goal is to start seeking therapy from a counselor to help resolve some of the underlying reasons I do and act how I do. I also will start breathing and talking to myself in a positive manner no matter how silly it may seem.

I feel that I have to stay positive and keep telling myself that I am worthy of getting myself to a wonderful well-being and that I deserve the very best. I also believe that I need to surround myself with more positive individuals that will boost my spirits. I believe that seeking therapy and having someone to talk to that is not biased of my circumstances will definitely help me as well. The most important exercise that I can do though is to learn to breath whenever I am stressed, worried, in fear, or just not feeling it. I believe this will help me the most.

The Crime of the Century exercise was so relaxing but interesting at the same time. I felt as if I was on another planet at times. I never knew you could come so in depth with your body. I felt the first time I listened to it, it was frustrating because I couldn't really find myself paying attention or able to feel what I was needing to. But with that said the second time was enjoyable and very beneficial to my mind and body. SO RELAXING!

Reflective Statement ~ Relaxation

I enjoyed the cd listening tool for this week because it taught me that I can make myself relax even if it is just for 15 minutes. I found that I understand what cause stress tension in my muscles and how I can relax those mucsles with just some natural thinking and relaxing. I believe that it is so good to this on a regular basis for a mind sense and complex. Great tool that I will continue using for days to come!
