Taking a moment to reflect on my own level of wellness; physically, psychologically, and spiritually has turned out to be more of a challenge than I had first imagined. Rating my physical level comes with ease but trying to rate my psychological and spiritual wellness I have a hard time. My physical level on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being optimal wellness I would rate myself an 8. I feel there is always room for improvement physically within each and every individual and to reach optimal wellness in any way means there is no longer room for improvement for that individual has reached the top. My spiritual well-being rated on the same scale would be approximately a 7. I am a very spiritual person but I do feel I need to improve in the spiritual aspects of my life. Psychologically I would rate myself at a 6 or 7. I feel there is a lot of room for me to improve psychologically. I still have some baggage that I have carried into the present that I should not allow to affect my thoughts or psychological well-being but unfortunately I have not mastered being able to do so. I will get rid of that baggage soon enough though, I have faith that I can remove the past from my life to truly live in the present and work towards a bright future. A goal that I could develop to improve my physical well-being would be to continue to exercise and eat healthier. I began exercising around 3 years ago and reached the ideal weight for my size but I have started to neglect exercising on a daily basis and do not want to lose all that I have worked for. I feel better mentally as well as physically when I exercise daily. A goal to improve my spiritual well-being would be to begin attending church again. I was raised going to church and want to become a member of a church once again. A church family is a wonderful thing to have. A goal to improve my psychological well-being would be to practice meditation on a daily basis. The exercise for this unit of my class was beneficial but I did not like it as well as the meditation exercise from last week. I found that I could not concentrate as well due to the words used within the exercise and the way it was guided. All in all I really liked it though, it just was not as easy for me to truly relax my mind and body as it was in the other one.
