Level of Wellness
Hello class,
The
following are reflection on my own level of wellness; physically,
psychologically, and spiritually.
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?
A.
Physical well-being: I give
myself a 5 on physical wellbeing. The
reason for this is because in the last two years I have let myself go (gained
some weight), which has reflexed on my work performance.
B.
Spiritual well-being: I give
myself a 7 on my spiritual well-being. I
do my best to listen to spiritual leaders to get some insight on deeper
philosophical ideas. Also, I do some
praying to have a peace of mind and to get my day going.
C.
Psychological well-being: I give
myself an 8 on my spiritual well-being.
I do my best to stay positive and to surround myself with positive
people. I also remind myself to live in
the present in order to enjoy the moment, that way I do get lost in my thought
of thinking of the future or the past.
2.
Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual,
psychological).
A.
Physical goal: My
physical goal is to exercise at least 4 times a week for about 30 minutes and
to learn how to count my calorie intake and to have more fruit and vegetables
in my diet.
B.
Spiritual goal: My goal
so far is to continue to pray and to get into the habit of meditating and
listening to some peaceful relaxing music.
C.
Psychological goal: My goal
is to learn how to express my thoughts better to others, to deal with any
unresolved anger I might not be aware of, and to stay connected with more
uplifting people.
3.
What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to
assist in moving toward each goal? Some activities and/or exercises that I can learn to implement in
my life in order to assist my in moving toward each of my goals are the
following:
·
Walking up stairs, carrying
grocery rather pushing a cart, dancing, and mall walking while shopping.
·
Join a spiritual group,
attend a bible study, and spend some time with seasons of spiritual
reawakening.
·
Develop a mental exercise
(thinking positive thoughts, listening to peaceful music, and read on the human
psychology) in order to experience more joy, happiness, and healthier life.
4.
Relaxation exercise: Describe your experience (what is beneficial?
Frustrating? Etc.) Upon doing the relaxation exercise I was able to sense a feel
peace over me and a stable and calm mind.
This simple relaxation exercise was very beneficial and relaxing. I’ve been using this relaxation exercise
before I go to sleep and sometimes before I go to work, in order to get
centered before I start my day.
Hi Daniel,
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to gain weight when you put other things in your life ahead of your health, trust me I am guilty of this. I read that you want to count calories to improve your physical wellbeing. I recently started counting calories on the website www.myfitnesspal.com. They make it really easy to have a goal and enter calories each day for every meal. They tell you how many calories you should have a day based on your weight, age, job type, and height. I have lost six pounds so far using it. That coupled with exercise has really helped me with my food intake. It is just a suggestion but good luck on your goals and this week in class!
Hi Daniel
ReplyDeleteI used to be over 300 lbs and did not like my self image to much.The key is putting your self first not your job!When I lost the 100 lbs it took a year and a lot of motivation,its easy when you find it,and start small like lose 5 lbs first ,then lose another, if you have a large goal it seems very impossible when you start to see the big picture.I also counted calories it works great,small steps you will do GREAT.
