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?
2.
Develop a goal for yourself in each area
(physical, spiritual, psychological).
3.
What activities or exercise can you implement
in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
Physical well-being
Currently
my muscles are tense and sore from stress and a feeling of being overwhelmed
right now. Exercising has been helping
to release some of the stress and make me feel better about my body. My body is not the weight that I wish it
would be, but I am trying to accept and love it the way it is. My goal for this area is to love my body more
the way it is. I need to stop looking
for faults when I look into a mirror and instead see a beautiful woman. Whenever I see myself in a mirror I need to
find one thing I love about my body.
Spiritual well-being
I
am spiritual but not religious. I
believe in a higher power and that that higher power is a loving and supportive
one. My goal is to feel comfortable
telling others about my beliefs, without feeling judged because I am not
Christian. I can start by telling my
boyfriend what I believe. I have told
him to some extent, but not everything.
If I can feel comfortable telling someone close to me, then maybe I can
tell others.
Psychological well-being
I
try to think as positive as I can throughout a day. It is a work in progress. I can sometimes feel overwhelmed and
stressed, as I currently do. I think my
goal should be to meditate, even if it’s only for five minutes a day. I could think of a different positive
affirmation that I want to work on for that week, and meditate on it.

Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of
the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. Describe your experience. (What it
beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)
I had a hard time keeping
my mind focused on what he was saying. I
usually have that problem though with these kinds of exercises unless it is something
really interesting to focus on. The thought
of beams of light shooting out of my body was weird for me to imagine. I like the affirmations (I feel grounded, I
chose to love, etc.). My goal for the
day (that he said to make) was to relax.
I feel that I don’t let myself just enjoy my day without filling it with
business. Even though I had to keep
redirecting my mind back to what he was saying, it did work to help me to
relax. I think if I did it a couple
times, each time it would get easier.
