So hello again everyone!!
I am hereto rate my overall wellness on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being horrible and 10 being best/optimal.
First lets cover my physical well being, I would rate that as probably a 5, because I have no real health problems (i.e. diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and so on) but I eat horribly and I do not get enough exercise. I would rate myself as a 3 or 4, but the only thing helping me is the fact that I do not have heart diseases or cardiovascular problems, and I do get a little exercise in my job as an EMT.
Second my spiritual well being is around a 2 or 3, I am not a very religious person, meaning I do not go to a masque, temple or church to practice or mediate, or pray to God or to supreme being. However, I do believe in God and I try and pray sometimes, and do a little meditating sometimes as well, to calm my nerves and stay level when I am stressed out. But I do not do it enough, so I find myself as spiritual mess.
Lastly, My psychological health is 4 or 5 as well, because, I am constantly stressed with school, raising my son, taking care of my new house since my boyfriend is gone to Iraq, and worrying about him, so needless to say I am under a lot of stress and constantly feeling the tension.
So needless to say I am a wreck, I do not eat right, I do not exercise, practice any spiritual healing nor am I letting the stress roll of my shoulders like I should. So first to fix the physical, I think I need to fix either the psychological or the spiritual, and in turn will help motivate me to eat better and to exercise, as to where right now I am getting lazy, depressed, stressed and bored and eating foods I shouldn't mixed with no exercising the mind and body is a combination that can have detrimental effects and eventually can and will cause other health problems. So some first steps would be to try and meditate take up yoga or walking with maybe try to real start searching for the religious calling in my life. I need to not stress the small stuff and just "go with the flow" of life, and handle each hurdle as I come to them. Finally, with fixing the mind and spiritual ends I can start eating better, exercise more, choosing to exercise vs. just laying down and doing nothing. Maybe starting off with walking and eventually start running and implementing new exercises into my daily routine.
The relaxation exercise was fun and interesting, it is amazing how hard it is to relax your mind of everything and think of nothing and just concentrate on the voice talking to you. I found it fun and relaxing and I recommend that everyone should give a go at least once, to see if it helps or frustrates them.
