Unit 3

  1. Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why? 
On a scale of 1-10 a would rate my physical well-being at a 9.  My spiritual well being at a 5, and my psychological well being at an 8.  I believe I am a very happy well-adjusted person.  I am a hard worker, I enjoy my work, I love my family, and my home is very peaceful.  I wasn't always thay way, but it is a conscious effort on my part. 
  1. Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
A physical goal is to become more limber, and stretch everyday.  I often workout too hard, and am sore much longer then necessary.   I ignore the boring stuff like stretching, and wearing the proper shoes sometimes.  I could get more our of life without being sore as often.

A spiritual goal would be to take more time for God.  I read a Bible-study at work often, but it's mostly historical data.  I need to suspend the 'fact checking' nature of mine, and let faith take over.

A psychological goal would be to worry less about silly things.  I often say up at night worrying about what if's.
  1. What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
 Yoga, talks with my Priest, and mediation to quiet the mind would be very helpful. 
  1. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)
I found it frustrating because I had issues with my computer.  I needed to have a more time to relax and listen to the lesson.  I guess it made me realize that I multitask way to much.

  1. Hey,

    Sounds like we workout at a similar rate, I workout and beat my body up, but don’t do some of those small things like stretch propyl but when I do I notice a difference. Have you ever used one of those foam rollers to strength and get kinks out? I haven’t but I always see people using them, maybe I will soon. Do you ever use a sauna or hot tub after an intense workout? I do a couple times a week and that seems to really help. Good luck with your goals
