In rating my physical well-being, I would have to say that I am at a 9. I have started getting up at 4am everyday to exercise. This has helped me to start my day off with more energy than if I was to jump out of bed with only enough time to rush getting ready for work and racing to get there in time. I rate my spiritual well-being at an 8. I say this because even though I do not start my day without prayer and go through my day feeling total compassion for the patients we serve on hospice care, I believe that there are some things that I still need to work on in order to build up my spiritual self. My spirit takes a beating sometimes when we have difficult hospice care cases. As for my psychological well-being, at this time I have to rate it at 7. I have been very stressed at work nad my mind has been going 100 miles per minute on all the corporate changes that are taking place and how it's going to affect all of us.
My goals for each area are not beyond reach at all, I just need to get started on attaining them. My physical goal is already in progress as I exercise 6 days/per week for 30-60 minutes per session. I eat a very healthy plant based diet. I'm hoping to lose some weight and tone everything up as I lose the weight. The goal for my spiritual well-being is to improve upon it by finding a church that I feel comfortable going to. I need to surround myself with positive & caring energy after all the sadness and stress of a day at work. My goal for psychological well-being is to find time to meditate in order to relieve the stress of each day. I need some "me time" at the end of each day.
I loved the relaxation technique of this unit. I loved focusing on each color at different body points and letting myself visualize each one. By the end of the technique I felt completely relaxed and was able to go about my tasks without everything being in knots. I believe that this technique will be one that I incorporate frequently.
