My Well-being

     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.
