For this week’s blog I am supposed to rate on a scale of one
to ten (ten being optimal) my physical, spiritual and psychological well-being,
then develop a goal for each and talk about an activity that will help me
accomplish my goals.
During the winter I rate myself an 8 for physical well-being,
because during this time I tend to work out less because it’s cold. I average
about 4 days a week. During the other seasons I rate myself a 9 because I love
the warmer weather and nothing not even rain keeps me inside. During the warmer
months I average 6 days a week of 45 minutes or more of exercise. My goal would
be to add another day of exercise to my winter routine. I could meet this goal
if I added another day of yoga or possibly another day of rowing or cycling. I
could choose one of those activities according to what I am interested in that
day.
Spiritually I rate myself a 9. I am happy with how I nourish
my spiritual self through meditation and the Tao Te Ching. I meditate at least
20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes before I go to sleep. Doing this daily
brings me closer to my creator and it helps to ground and balance me. I rarely
if ever have a dooms day attitude. I have a positive outlook and rarely feel
like things are out of control. At this time the only goal spiritually that I
might find useful is a way to add more service into my life. To accomplish this
goal I could look for an organization that needs volunteers.
I rate my psychological well-being as a 9 and I rate myself
that because I don’t sweat the small stuff. I feel that no matter how bad
things might be in the moment I can with thought, creativity and hard work turn
it around. I truly believe that if it’s worth having I am ready to dig in and
work hard for it. I honestly not sure of a goal for my psychological
well-being. I am open to suggestions.
Finally I tried to follow the guided meditation The Crime of
the Century. I find the voice guided meditation distracting. I found myself
not relaxing especially when he explained the colors and their function. I
would much rather practice my self-guided meditation with a mantra that I might
need at that moment. I feel like I won’t find any guided meditation relaxing. I
will however remain open to any exercise presented during the course.
