Self Reflections
My physical well being I would rate at a seven. A goal for my physical well being would be to lose twenty pounds. An exercise I could implement towards that goal would be yoga and/or jogging. My spiritual well being I would rate at a five. I have come far but also know that I am not spiritually sound. A goal I have for my spiritual well being is to be more appreciative of the world around me, e.g: stop and smell the roses. I could implement daily meditation to work towards achieving my spiritual goals. My psychological well being is at a five. I worry too much and I don't get enough sleep, which leads to more worry. My psychological well being goal would be to have a quieter mind, leading to less worry and more sleep. I could use relaxation recordings before bed to achieve that goal or meditate with that goal in mind as an intention.
After listening to the Crime of the Century relaxation exercise, I felt more calm. I think concentrating so intently on your physical body gives your mind a break from racing thoughts. The different colors felt familiar, like they belonged emanating from that particular part of my body as he assigned the color to that region. This exercise could be used at any point during the day, but for me personally, I would use it before bed to promote a sense of well being and relaxation.

Deciding to make any type of change in our lives is a positive way to improve our well-being. Exercise is a great way to improve our physical well-being. I started on a "food as medicine" program to help improve my physical well-being. An exercise program will be started soon. It is hard for me to focus on too many things at once. As far as spiritual well-being, I think you are exactly right that we all need to be more appreciative of what we have, the people in our lives and the world around us. Appreciation is a great way to show loving-kindness, which will lead us to integral health.
