Unit 3

Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?

 I think physically I would rate myself as a 5, I feel that I need to work harder to get into better shape and I need to stay more focused on what I eat. It is important to fuel our bodies and not just eat because we can. Spiritually I would say I am about a 7, I have started to attend church again and I am trying to make it a priority in my life. I have never given up my faith, just got on the wrong path every now and then. I think psychologically I am an 8 I try to stay level headed and strive to become more mentally strong every day.

Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).

Physical goal- To start to exercise 4 days a week.

Spiritual goal- Start to get more involved with my church.

Psychological goal- To graduate from college with my degree.

What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?

I think taking a walk a few days a week and getting out and playing with my kids more will help me to increase my physical activities. I think just volunteering to help in the church and helping out when needed will help me become more spiritual. I think I will be able to graduate as long as I keep myself motivated and focused.

Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. Describe your experience. (Was it beneficial? Frustrating? Etc.)

I think this exercise helped me to relax and focus on setting goals and achieving them. It helped me to see that I am able to push myself and visualize my goals once I achieve them. This helped me to see what my life would be like if I was balanced and that is part of my goal I set.

Journey on Relaxation Exercise

In this exercise we learned to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down and to relax every aspect of our bodies. This included loosening any tight clothing so that we did not feel confined. The exercise then had us take deep breaths and clear our minds. This helped our mind and body become relaxed and we were only focusing on relaxing and nothing else. We concentrated on our blood flow through our bodies so that we could have our mind and body work together and keep focused. I feel that this exercise worked great and did help me relax. It went through step by step and kept us relaxed and focused.

Reflection Statement

I am hoping to help people learn that there are different aspects of healing and that they need to find out which one fits them the best. I think it is very important for people to know that our mind, body, and spirit all control us in one way or another and each one works with the other to keep our bodies balanced.

Welcome

Hello Everyone and Welcome to my page. I am currently taking a class at Kaplan University that requires me to blog about what we are learning each week in class. I think this will be a great way to get people to see what Kaplan has to offer and to see what interesting things we get to learn about. I am very excited to be doing this and I hope that people will learn a few things from me.
