Week 3 Physical spiritual psychological me

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?

Well here we go: A- my physical wellbeing would be a double 0! I am a double me! I need to lose half of me! I need to lose about 150 pounds to be at my average weight for my height! I am 5'7''. Yes That does mean I am 300 pounds and possibly a few over 300 pounds. I am so out of shape it is not funny! I feel like one big blob! I find it hard to do things, and my back always hurts when I am cleaning. Putting on my shoes is a pain, and I have to be sitting on the bed a certain way to get my socks and shoes on. Ha, I am using muscles that are out of practice! Lol. I have fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, depression, asthma, etc. I just feel like crap! I know in my heart and soul, that if I lose this weight, I will feel better, happier and healthier. B- As for my spiritual well-being, I find that to be my strongest; but, it needs work as well. I need to heal my inner and outer me. My religion is nature based; so, I like to think that I am closer to my spiritual being, probably about a 5. Even though I think that I am closer, I know I want to be closer or I am not as close as I would like to be. There are many things out there to help me become one with the earth and myself. For example: the exercise we did the other week. That was amazing. I want to learn more about mediation and other techniques like that to help calm my inner self. C- Now my psychological well being is a joke! I may be sane enough to say 1! I need a lot of work on this! It has been broken for a while. I am depressed and have very low self esteem. You might as well say, I need to get a tune up! J Time to take the body to the shop for some work!

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

Physical	Spiritual	Psychological
Exercising more-Come up with an exercise plan and start off doing a little each day and build up to hard workouts and alternate each day. Come up with interesting workouts and do not do the same thing all the time to stay away from boredom. Take a yoga class, Zumba class, or get a Wii and buy Zumba, and other things that relate to helping lose weight. Eating healthy- join an online club to help lose weight, come up with a meal plan for each week and every meal. Eat 5 to 6 small meals. Make the meal ahead if possible and have them ready for the hand. Drink more water. Losing weight- doing both above and talk to a nutritionist for extra support.	Learning different ways to sooth the inner me- looking into different ways of meditation. Googeling different ways to sooth the soul. Start doing things to relax myself more- coloring, drawling, puzzles, listening to music, walking through park, dancing, laughing, etc. Look into a spiritual teacher or classes on meditation or other ways to help the inner self.	Start a journal, write or type everything up on how I feel and how things make me feel Talk to a therapist Talk to my doctor Talk to my friends and Family Search for different ways on helping how to strengthen my psychological patch.

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

An alarm clock to remind me to do things, calendar, other people to remind you, notes around the house, pictures around the house, pep words on post its around the house that I can do it! Make set times that I do things each day and do them.

4.            Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.) In the beginning, my feet felt heavy. The color red I thought of red birds, orange was a swirling orange, yellow was yellow birds, green was deep green grass and little leprechauns and four leaf clovers swirling. The one light blue was waterfalls and swimming in a hole/cave open air. The deep blue made me angry! Lol I wanted it to be purple for that spot! I was kind of lost after that. I couldn't relax enough because my mom was blaring the television. (no quite rooms, internet only works downstairs) I did feel relaxed though and needed it! I was stressed out by the day and getting my projects in! J I would say it was beneficial because I was relaxed by the point that I got too. I am not good with noise. I need one of those earplugs/headphones that blocks out all sound!

5.            Participate in the Blogs of at least two other students. 
Provide them with feedback on their goal strategies. (Would their strategies be beneficial for you? Why or Why not? Do you have any suggestions for them? Would their strategies work for your clientele? Why or why not?)
