Rated Self-Reflection
Based on personal reflection, I rate my physical well-being from a
5 at the beginning of this class to a 4 now. I never made it back to the gym, because
I have been sick. I hope to very soon though. My spiritual well-being has
increased from a 5 to a 6, because I have started reading my Bible everyday
again. I’m still working on getting back to church. My psychological well-being
was an 8 and now a 7. I have been preoccupied with certain concerns and find it
more difficult to meditate, but I keep trying.
Goals
Well, my goals to improve these areas are to get back in the gym
as soon as I can, start going to church again, and keep meditating and counting
my blessings.
Strategy
I’m going to start in the gym when the M.D. says that I’m ready,
and I am trying to begin certain exercises at home (like walking and chores) in
the meantime. It’s been so long since we have been to church that we just forget
to go, so we need to post a reminder to help us to remember to include that in
our weekend plans. No new plans for my psychological goals at this time except
to follow Dora’s mantra from the movie Little Nemo, “Just keep swimming, keep
swimming…” Love that Dora.
Relaxation Exercise
This exercise is called The Crime of the Century, and that is the
only part of it that I felt was frustrating. I call it the Rainbow Meditation.
That makes more sense to me. I enjoyed this meditation more now than I did at
the start of this class. I guess the guide’s voice sounded more soothing this go
round than the first.
Thanks to those that read my blogs. Best wishes to you all.

Hi Stacey,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that your spiritual well-being has improved and that you have set aside time to read your Bible each day. I understand your setback with physical well-being due to illness; I hope you are feeling better. I too struggled in this area to improve due to having pneumonia. You have set some great goals and strategies. It is great that you consulted with your M.D. before heading back to the gym. Starting slowly is a good idea, as you mentioned with walking and chores. I do agree the Crime of the Century practice was a bit frustrating and I too refer to it as the Rainbow Mediation (lol).
I wish you all the best for today and each day forward.
