Unit 3

1.
My rating of myself A-physical well being, B-Spiritual well being, C-Psychological well being
A- 7
B- 1
C- 4

I love my body, I'm in great shape and I take care of it by eating right and exercising everyday.
I do not consider myself to be spiritual at all. I lost faith in anything when my husband went to war. I was born and raised Catholic but I do not believe in Jesus anymore. I don't know what I believe in and I am not sure were to start with that. Psychologically I've been through a lot in the past 3 years. I am sound mentally, but I am just all over the place with stress and I feel like my mind is constantly going 1000 miles an hour.

2.
Goals in each area
A- Physical Goal- Eat more fruit and vegetables everyday for the next 6 weeks.
B- Spiritual goal- Do research on religion and spiritualness and find what works for me in the next 6 weeks.
C- Psychological- Do relaxation exercises everyday for at least 2 minutes for the next 6 weeks.


3. For my physical goal I will have to go grocery shopping and buy more fruits and vegetables to eat. I can incorporate them in my meals everyday.
For my spiritual wellness maybe I can attend a service at a local church and talk to someone.
For psychological wellness I can try relaxation exercises with or without the help of relaxation videos online.

4.
I liked this relaxation exercise for the most part. It seemed like he wanted us to do a bunch of things and it was really hard for me to follow along in the beginning. You really had to use your imagination for this one. I started sitting in a chair, but then I moved to the floor to try and relax more. Imagining each color was very relaxing for me. It seemed like each color was bringing out different emotions. I'm also liked the music that was in the background, it helped to relax me as well.

Journey On relaxation exercise


This was a very pleasant experience. I was thankful enough to be able to have an hour to myself today to do this in a quiet room. I sat in a chair and kept my eyes closed the whole time till the end. I felt like I could really feel the blood circulating where I wanted it to go. I felt like the man talking was in the room talking to just me. I feel like I could go for a run, and I hate running. I think if I listened to this exercise and practice this visualization of blood circulating that I would be much less stressed then normal.
