Unit 3 The Mind-Body Connection

1. A-physical wellbeing,
I rate my physical well-being at a 6 I say this because I’m currently working on weigh management by eating healthy. I plan to get back into a regimen of exercise and walking which has helped me before with weight loss. My goal is continue eating healthy and exercise more. The only way I can accomplish my goal is to not eat out as much and watch my calorie intake.

2. B-spiritual well-being,
I rate my spiritual well-being at a 6. I’m in constant communication with God, and I try to listen to what he has to tell me in my daily life. I believe this is my strongest area although, I still feel like I’m not where I want to be yet. I have seen my life progress the closer I get to God; I believe as I continue to get closer to God wondrous things will happen in my life as they have already started to do. My goal is to continue to build a better relationship with God. In doing I will have to continue to read my bible everyday and stay focused on the positive and not the negative.

3. C-psychological well-being,
I rate my psychological well-being 4½ because this is my weakest area, not to say a 4½ is bad because it is not. I feel this way because a year ago I would have rated myself a 2. As I communicate with people who are spiritual like I am and read my bible I gain a lot of wisdom. I also make it a point to examine negative experiences and determine what I learned from them therefore; I feel my cognitive ability is constantly getting stronger. My goal is to compare and contrast situations in my life so that I will be able to make wise decisions. I see myself getting closer to this goal by staying focus in my word and choosing my battles.

4. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise.
When I first saw the title I didn’t know what to expect but this was a different experience for me. This relaxation almost brought me to tears because the commentary was placing the colors in places that made me think deep and hard. And once he got to the color yellow to say I feel love I couldn’t do it; because I don’t feel loved by my family. That color alone was a huge battle for me, I actually had to stop the video and get myself back together to continue. To be honest this video wasn’t relaxing to me at all.
