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?


Honestly I would rate physical well-being on a scale of about 5 because I quit working out quite awhile ago and I need to get back into it. I know that I would feel a lot better if I did. Spiritual well-being would be on about a 5, I believe in God, but I do not go to church that often. This is also something that I need to start doing again. Psychological well-being would be around an 8 or 9. I have a pretty sound mind and know what I need to do. I do not take things too seriously, but I do know what has to be taken care of. Things do not stress me out too much. There is a saying above my desk that goes like this, "Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction to positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results."

2. Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).

Physical - I plan to start walking on my treadmill or outdoors for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Spiritual - I plan on attending church at least once a month, if not more when I can. Psychological - I am pretty much where I want to be right now.

3. What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?

Walking on the treadmill or outdoors and attending church more regularly.

4. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)

This exercise was relaxing. It was different due to the colors and such, but it was peaceful and made you just fall into yourself, without a care in the world.

Journey on Relaxation

This relaxation exercise was very soothing. It made my whole body relax and I could feel the tension releasing from my body. The music that was playing in the background was so peaceful. In a previous class that I had taken just last term was similar to this type of relaxation exercise. In each seminar, she would have us try a new technique and they were all wonderful. These types of exercises are very beneficial to release the stress from the body and make you at peace with oneself. Great!
