On a scale of 1-10 I would rate my...
Spiritual Wellbeing: five
...because I have been focusing most of my time on my psychological wellbeing.
Physical Wellbing: three
...because I am a bit overweight due to poor diet, lack of excersise, and hormone replacements from a hysterectomy.
Psychological Wellbeing: eight
...because I have been working with my doctors over the past year to stablize my mental wellbeing. I had a nervous breakdown a couple of years ago and needed to rethink my wellness... or rather actually think about my integral health. It is through this course that I am continuing my journey toward wellness.
___________________________
I would like to develop a goal in...
Spiritual wellbeing by increasing my "me" time.
Physical wellbeing by continuing my efforts at the gym.
Psychological wellbeing by continuing to work with my doctors on my stablization.
In order to reach my spiritual goal I will need to put more emphasis on "me" time. I tend to put much greater emphasis on others wellness (mother, kids, husband) than I do on my own. This should change as I am not doing anyone any good if I am spiritually out of sync.
In order to reach my physical wellbeing I will return to the local recreation center with my family. My mom and sister go walking and swimming at the center at least three times a week. They ask me to go but I find a reason not too.
In order to reach my psychological wellbeing I will work with my doctors to continue medication to fix my lack of seretonin levels.

The Crime of the Century experience...
After listening to the The Crime of the Century, I felt safe. I do not know why they titled this excersise the Crime of the Century. There was certainly no crime in the feelings I received during the coloring excersise. I love the red feeling of safe! Orange meaning confident and centered... while he was saying that I could smell oranges! I do not know why but I did. I love love loved this one!
Great new tape for me to meditate with. I am looking forward to next weeks! :)
Hey Mickey. I sounds like you have a good sense about what you need. Even a slight increase in your exercise will go a long way to healing your spiritual and psychological well-being. I can relate to having serotonin levels out of whack. There is a great book out by Julia Ross called The Mood Cure. It is one of my bibles and helped get my levels back to normal. I am no longer taking anything except for my thyroid hormone. Peace to you.
ReplyDeleteHey Mickey. I think you hit the head on the nail. Spiritually "me time" is extreamly important. That a great way to connect and reflect on improvement.
ReplyDeletegreat pot mickey! I think you have your priorities right in making sure your psychological health is first. The other two will come once you feel more confident and grounded. I am glad you enjoyed the color exercise, personally I struggle with allowing myself to visualize. I did try it this week at a doctor appointment I thought was going to be horrible news, and at least it helped time pass even if I did not feel relaxed.
