On a scale of 1 – 10 I would rate myself a 6 physically, 5 spiritually and a 6 psychologically. I kept my scores in the mid-range because I feel like under the circumstances of what is going on in my life right now I am doing pretty good. I have friends with a lot less going on who are in much worse shape than I am.
I have never been very good at setting specific goals. I just seem to keep it generic, but that really hasn’t worked as well as being specific. My physical goal would have to be to quit smoking. I am sure I do not need to go into any more detail there. We all know how bad it is, and I am starting to notice its effects on my health. Psychologically I need to work on improving my self-esteem. Most of my mental issues narrow down to how I feel about myself. Spiritually I need to start following the practice of Silence and Stillness. I believe in God, and even though I do not go to church every Sunday I do consider myself and active Christian. Practicing silence and stillness would help me to embrace this part of me even more though.
I liked the exercise in Unit 2 better than this one. I didn’t do well with all the colors. I am not sure if I just need to change them to calmer colors or just white light. It was relaxing though and the phrases that were used and we had to repeat were helpful.
