Hello fellow health and wellness enthusiast,
For our unit three Blog we are asked to rate our physical,
spiritual and psychological well-being and then develop goals and identify
activities that will help us reach our goals.
It took me a little time to think about the three areas. The first is physical well-being, I would
like to rate myself high being a physical education teacher who works out with
her students every day, but… When it
comes to exercise and working out I can rate myself high but when it comes to
nutrition I’m not the best. I never eat
breakfast, and yes, I know that is the most important meal of the day. I would have to make that a goal for myself-I
would like to improve my nutrition intake by starting to eat breakfast every
day. So I would have to rate myself a 6
at this point in time (I’m also very sick at this point). The next is spiritual well-being. I look at my spirituality as my relationship
with my Lord and Savior. I pray every
day and go to church on Sundays but a relationship is so much more than going
to church. A goal that I would like to
work on is reading my Bible every day. I
have to say that that is an activity that I do every once in a while, this
could strengthen my relationship with the Lord and keep our relationship close. If I had to rate my spirituality, it would be
an eight. The third is psychological
well-being. Last semester when I took
the mind and body divide class I learned about rational and emotional intelligence. I have to say that many times I feel that my
emotional intelligence gets the best of me.
I find that stress cause me to put rational aside and focus on the
here and now. I would like to focus more
on preparation level two, skillful action.
I invite all of you to read my discussion question and you can see why
that is my goal. My need to use
discipline and restraint when dealing with issues is a big goal of mine. I need to think before I speak and learn the
art of skillful action. If I would have
to rate myself at this time I would have to give myself a five. We are all works in progress and when we
think we have reached the top, there is always something new that we can
learn. We are ever changing just like
this world is, is there ever an ultimate utopia, where we have reached the peak
of knowledge? I would like to know what
you all think. Stay tuned for my next
post on the Relaxation exercise for this week.
Thanks, Emily
Thanks for the post and I think everyone has dealt with one issue or another in their life. I too have been involved in more than enough issues in which I have let my emotional sense over come my rational train of thought. I think finding methods of relaxation and calming techniques really help. I know that if I just try to clear my head with some music or even brekaing the issue down in my head, it really helps my mental clarity.I think that since we are constantly evolving with our environment and our new challenges, then there really an ultimate utopia :)
ReplyDeleteHi Emily,
ReplyDeleteGreat post and good to read about your spiritual well-being. I can relate to this area. I am very active in my church, in fact, I am an Evangelist. I love the Lord and serving Him is truly a blessing that I enjoy. Not many people talk about their spiritual connection. I, too, had to take a little time and assess where I am with rating these three areas particularly in view of the reading and being a wellness class. This has given me much to rethink and redo. I am enjoying the class and enjoy reading your post. Please feel free to read my blog post and comment. I would be interested in your input. Hope to hear from you. Happy holidays.

I agree that discipline and restraint are two good goals. I have been trying to be aware of my feelings and how I react, I did not realize it would be that difficult, to really develop you need to practice this at every moment of the day. In time we can all get there but it takes daily practice and awareness to improve in this area. Thanks for the post.
