Level of Well-Being - Unit 3

I will be rating my levels of physical, spiritual and psychological well-being on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the optimum.

Physical - 6

I have high expectations for my physical well-being and until lately I have fallen grossly short of those expectations. My recent primary care taking duties have left me both mentally and physically drained altough I know one of the key factors in taking care of someone else is to make sure you take care of yourself. I let that fly completely out the window and as a result became run down and out of shape, not egregiously out of shape but nothing that I am use to nor tolerate. I have started on a path of meditation as well as yoga along with power walking and some core muscle strengthening exercises. All of these movements will help me orchestrate the person I want within , a more healthful person.

Spiritual -6

I find that I am really developing my spiritual well-being, making a conceted effort to achieve that ultimate inner harmony and balance. Evolving my spiritualism is most important at this time particularly with the recent loss of my mother it is most important for acceptance of that loss and the loss of some of my inner light. I am using jouraling to help direct thoughts on paper for later reflection and meditation to quiet myself and gain more acceptance of her death each day.

Psychological - 5

I feel that everything is somewhat predicated on my psychological well-being meaning that both my physical and spiritual well-being are not at higher levels so this in turn diminishes my psychological capacity. I need to look forward more than 'wallowing' in the past and embrace what I am and who I am evolving into to, the person I am meant to be and not drain my energy on things I do not have control at in the moment. I need to engage more time in my favorite pastime - design as this helps re-direct and nourish my focus. As I navigate through class and start to de-clutter I anticipate raising my psychological level of well-being significantly.

All of these are a work in progress and evolve daily and my goal is to raise my physical, spiritual and psychological well-being to the optimal in order to live a healthful life in harmony and balance.
