Unit 3/Blog Post

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?
4. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century.

 1. From scale (1-10) my physical well-being, I would say 5. I need to take my time driving safety. Most of the time when I forgot to set up my alarm clock and sleep late. When every time I get up early in the morning. I've always in a hurry to take a shower to go to work and not to be late. I keep speeding and beat the red light. So far, I never get caught for speeding and get an accident. To improve my physical well-being. I need to take my time working on my daily base schedule and always slow down so that it will help copes my stress.

From spiritual well-being I gave myself an 8. I go to church every Sunday. I like to spend at least an hour to the altar and pray so that I continue to bless the god. To thank him for going through so many trials, and hardships. To change my life that will produce great pleasure and joy that I need every day and night. I will continue to pray day and night that god will give me strength to challenge what I become in this world. Praying is the answer of my weakness.

For my psychological well-being I would give a 5. I am concern about my health. Regarding my hypothyroid, I have a medicine to take every day. My doctor said to me that my medicine is for a life long, meaning I have to take every day without none stop. It is unfair to me, thyroid and diabetes runs on my family. They becomes better on thyroid and diabetes using just medication. If I watched what I eat, exercise more. I will probably experience the difference of my body, so that I will happy and successful.

2. First of all my goal plan is to have a degree, so that I can have a good job as my career. To cares and provide myself and to my children. We can have more time as a father and son's bonding. For physical and psychological, I need to adjust my hours to sleep more, to exercise, take care my health. Otherwise, my physical health can not affect my body's level of stress. To plan to set my goal will accomplish in my life with a positive attitude. In spiritual, I keep in touch with god and always have a good faith with him. He answers my prayer when I need him to help at the most.

3. I think healthy eating, weekly exercise, and physical activity will help me to start my goal setting. Being active and exercise regularly can change my life and helps to improve ability to do everyday activities I will enjoy. Include in my regular routine that I find something I enjoy doing.

4.  As soon as I listen the relaxation exercise, the guys’ voices is very calming and have a good enunciate. When I listens the background music, it tells me to close my eyes and relax. I think the art of each color have a certain shades or tones, have may result in very different meaning. It also benefits to understanding and utilize the psychological effects of colors. Like red rays to have a benefits of heat and massage, also I felt like combine with the use of heat energy like radio frequency waves. Orange rays makes me boosts energy and provide protection. Yellow rays, makes me to believe and focusing positive of personal power. Blue rays, thinking to help me to be restful in a peaceful and calming environment. Indigo blue rays, I am thinking is a sign of truthfulness and stability. Violet rays, it looks like a result in a peaceful surrounding to relieve. It helps me balancing for creativity of tension.
