Reflection on my own personal physical, spiritual, and psychological wellness

Hello Everyone

I would have to say that on a scale of 1 to 10 that I am probably a 2 on the scale.  I don’t feel that great about myself.  I am extremely overweight by 100 lbs. and very out of shape.  I know what I need to do it is just getting motivated to do it.  My spiritual wellbeing I rate as an 8 from where I was last year about a 6, it has improved.  I started a part-time job at a church nursery a couple years ago and in this last year I started listening to KLove while I was driving to work, I had a 30 min drive.  It relaxes me and makes me feel happy.  I started praying and giving all my worries to God and say here they are I trust you to take care of them.  My psychological well-being is around a 6.  I am not as stressed as I once was last year.  I don’t worry about bills and rent anymore.  I know that everything will work out.  I do get stressed about school though.  I need to learn to stop procrastinating till the last minute.  I also am kind of stressed about moving.  I hate to pack and that stresses me out.  I am moving at the end of the month in with my mom.  I don’t have my own computer so I use my moms. My son, mom and I share the computer so kind of hard to get on computer sometimes.  I’ll be getting my son a computer with the federal income tax this year.

My goal for myself would be to start eating healthy and start an exercise routine possibly walking to start.  I plan on planting a raised bed organic garden in a few weeks to grow my own vegetables since they are so expensive at the store.  My goal for spirituality would be to start going to church and a closer relationship with God.  Psychological goal is to implement the relaxation exercises to relax my body and mind.  Maybe start yoga.

The relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century didn’t work that great this week.  I started to relax when my kitten kept bugging me and then I paused for a minute with him.  Then couldn’t get back to complete relaxation after that, plus my lower back has been hurting lately and has been a nagging pain for the past couple of days.  I took Ibuprofen but don’t seem to work I have a muscle relaxer but don’t like to take it because it makes me too relaxed to wear I can’t drive or anything. 

Her is a song that I was listening  in the car this morning I wanted to share.

    I think it is great that you can take an honest look at yourself and see what changes you need to make and know how you can go about making the changes to reach your goals. It is never easy, but look at you, your spiritual and psychological well being are both up from a year ago. You seem to know what you want and I am sure that your determination will get you there. Just being in school is a step in the positive direction! "Everything happens for a reason", that the motto my Mom taught me when I was young and it seems to be true and keeps my outlook bright.

    Good luck with your goals, determination will get you there.

    Peace,
