Based on my reflection I would rate myself for physical well-being as an 8. I am a healthy young woman who partakes in physical activity regularly. By regularly I mean at least once every day and three days out of the week I will work out twice. I feel like I have a nutritional, healthy diet. I could strive for better eating habits especially on the weekends. I believe this is where I am lacking. Spiritual well-being I would currently have to rate it as a 6. I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins, rose again, is alive and is with me in my journey through life. I currently go to church, participate in regular church activities such as bible study once a week, and Christian, women get togethers. However, I rate myself so low on this category because I have really been neglecting my personal quiet time with the Lord. I used to always want to spend time with Him through prayer and reading the Bible. This past year has been hard for me to concentrate on my relationship with God. My psychological health, would have to be rated at as 9. I do not feel like I have any psychological problems or struggle mentally with thoughts and ideas.
I would like to implement a healthier, natural way of eating. Also, I would like to start with my daily devotionals in the morning like I used to and also when I am cooking and cleaning, listen to my Christian music because it always uplifts my spirit.
The relaxation exercise “The Crime of the Century” was very frustrating for me. I did not enjoy the speaker’s voice and I felt like the exercise dragged on. The only part that I enjoyed was the music, it was calming and relaxing. Apart from that I did not like sitting there listen to the man rattle on.
Marissa,
YanıtlaSilWow, there is much I would like to ask you personally. However, I am not certain this is the avenue I would like to discuss it. Like you, I rated myself low in spirituality. Yes, I believe as you do, but find myself in a different light within this past year. Hmm . . . how to get "back on the road"?
I do have one question regarding the exercise. For me, the title did not fit the exercise. I have been trying to read other blogs to see if anyone else experienced the same thing. My exercise involved the colors of the rainbow. Was this the one you did, does it sound familiar to you?
Hi Marissa,
YanıtlaSilI did not enjoy the Crime of the Century either. Maybe I need to get better prepared mentally to relax. LOL.
Your personal time with Christ really is important. I neglect mine as well at times too. I was doing really well with waking up and the first thing I did was pray and read scripture. I think it is easy to push this off to the side. I encourage you to start again. That is the best part we can always start again.
I am transitioning into eating whole natural foods myself. I am doing it for my whole family. We have been cutting out all food that come in a box or bag. It is harder then I thought. Have you thought of looking for a farmers market near you? It is a great way to find fresh produce (check if organic) at a great price.
