After
reflecting on my own level of wellness I realized that I have many areas that I
can improve upon. For my physical health
I would give myself a 7 of 10. The
reason for this is because I have been working for a long time on becoming healthier
by exercising and eating better. Since I
started the Whole 30 I have noticed that my body just feels better. My physical goal is to continue exercising
and eating better foods that positively affect my health. Some activities that
I would like to incorporate include crossfit classes and yoga so that I can
improve on my flexibility.
The
spiritual aspect of my wellness could use a lot of development. I would rate it a 5 out of 10. My goal would be to find a sense of belonging
and to explore my beliefs further. I
feel that I do not have as much of a grasp on my spiritual health as I do my
physical or psychological health. I
think that I would benefit from including prayer to see if it can help me find
my own path.
I feel very
confident about my psychological health.
I would rate it a 9 out of 10. I
feel that I am very comfortable explaining how I feel about things and why I do
certain things. I spend a lot of time
psychoanalyzing myself! One of my goals
though would be to try to think more optimistically because I have a tendency
to be negative about things. I think
that the reason why I am negative about things is because I always want to feel
prepared for what could happen, so if I imagine the worst then I can prepare
for it. Some activities that I would
like to incorporate are meditation and maybe some positive affirmations.
I am not
sure if I completed the correct exercise for this week. The link brought me to the rainbow relaxation
exercise instead of The Crime of the Century one listed. I have completed the rainbow relaxation
exercise in a previous class and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first
time. I like how it has you focus on one
area of the body and visualize a certain color of light coming from that
area. The affirmations of feeling
grounded, centered, loving, confident and peaceful were very relaxing.
That is great that you're working on your physical health and much luck to you. I find it amazing that you rate your psychological health at a 9 of 10; not many people can be that confident and it's wonderful that you have such exuberance in your mental health.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Lindsey, I kind of feel I am in a similar boat to you. I feel as if my spiritual aspect of life is lacking. Now whether this is due to drive, belonging or readiness to commit, I am not sure of just yet. I do however know that when the time is right I will know the path I should take to become spiritually whole and I believe the same can apply for you. Great post and best of luck in your future endeavors.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand how you feel! I have been waiting for the right time to come around and I sometimes wonder if it is going to come at all. I know that there are options out there for me (I do live in the bible belt!) but nothing has clicked with me and I do not want to feel like a hypocrite just so I can belong to something. I wish you luck as well in your journey!
