Wellness - Personal Inventory

Hmm . . . Well, it is inventory time. Inventories are never quite easy. However, I will ascertain the best I can. I will rate my physical well being as a 9 on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being optimal. Yes, I have room for growth, but am physically set up well right now. Psychologically speaking, I will place myself at a 9 again. Yes, there is always room for improvement. However, my mind is quite strong right now. Spiritually speaking, I will give myself a 5. Here is the fact: I am quite strong spiritually; however, I am in a position and making a choice regarding a spiritual matter that would normally be against my belief system. Although I still "feel" spiritually strong, I cannot give myself a higher number because of "factual information" and what I know is wrong, etc. Does that make sense? Yeah . . . I will leave it at a 5 because I do not know what else to do.

When thinking of goals in each of these areas, I will state this: physically, back to my workout routine. I was taking a break through the holiday and am ready to get back into my routine. Psychologically speaking . . . I am not sure here. I would like to engage in more mental practices but I am not sure which direction to go. I will trust our lesson plans for now unless others have personal suggestions for me. Spiritually speaking, I will call a few friends for guidance who can aid my understanding further. I believe in praying and will do that. However, I know what the word of God says regarding some of my choices and am not sure I can change them right now. Hmm . . . definitely in rebellion right now and I am not sure I want to change this. Any advice out there? This one is hard. I think I have already implemented activities needed here: the exercise, searching for mental exercises and calling/reaching out to friends. Now, I wait.

Well, when doing the exercise "The Crime of the Century", my first thought was that the title had no way related to the exercise. What is that about? Do I have the wrong link. Maybe . . . I will have to read some other blogs to find out if this was the consensus. Nevertheless, I needed the "rainbow journey" I will call it. However, with the visualization of the first color red, I sobbed for quite some time. I was told to envision an object with this color and then could not get the object from my mind. It was a brilliant red fleece from a friend that I was able to visit over the holiday and greatly miss already. Having said all that, the exercise left me refreshed and energized. Of course, sometimes a good cry will do that too. But, I think this exercise was greatly needed.

Journey On Relaxation Reflection

Hmm . . . I enjoyed the relaxation exercise quite nicely. Yes, my arms and hands felt heavy and I was not able to move them as the exercise progressed. However, once the thought of returning the blood back to my midsection occurred, my fingers were able to move quite freely. Nevertheless, my hands were still a bit heavy because I noticed I could not rotate my palms as easily when suggested as I was able with just the fingertips.

Overall, I enjoyed the exercise and look forward to practicing this relaxation method on others in the near future. One final thought, the male voice was quite soothing. I am sure this played a major role in that, for one, it was audible and additionally, he sounded relaxed himself. :)

Welcome

Welcome to my place. I have kept all simple for the fact that I am not sure I will retain this space after this term and well . . . I simply do not want to feel like I have wasted my time. Lol - yes, doesn't that sound silly? I truly love journaling and use another avenue for this fact. Therefore, although I look forward to interaction here, I may not delve into my soul as readily during my time at this locale.

. . . Just simply wanted to make my heart known regarding the matter.
