Unit 3

1. Physical well being: Score of 7. I decided on a 7 because I need to be more physically active and eat better. At this time I have let my fitness practices go to the point that I am suffering from intermittent back pain due to lack of physical activity. A goal that I have to increase this score would be to practice the exercises from physical therapy in order to get back on the road to an active lifestyle. Activities that I can do to reach my goal are the daily stretching learned in physical therapy and to remind myself of all the fun things that I can participate in once my healing is complete. 
   
   Spiritual well being: Score of 5. I choose a 5 because up until recently I had never even explored the idea of spiritual well-being. It is rather new to me and I feel that I still  have a lot to learn. A good goal for me is to continue to explore the world of spirituality and find what fits me. A good exercise for me would be to dedicate time each day to practice a new spiritual exercise.
   
   Psychological well-being: Score of 8. Trying to keep everything in my life balanced is a difficult process. I know that sometimes the stress and fast pace takes a toll on my psychological well-being. Since being out of the country on vacation for the past 10 days and trying to readjust and catch up on my daily responsibilities I think this score may be even a little lower. A good goal for me is to keep organized, this will help to reduce some of the stress. An exercise that I can do would be to keep a list handy to help remind me of what I need to get done each day.
   I  completed the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. For me it was difficult to keep my concentration and focus. I kept having to refocus and try to catch up on what I was zoning out of. After about half way thought the exercise I became frustrated and restless. I think that I need to adjust my timing of the exercises. Maybe the evening is not good, I maybe should try this in the morning when I do not have a million things on my mind
