Reflections

I have never really thought about by well-being when it comes to physical, spiritual, and psychological, so this exercise really got me thinking. For my physical well-being I would rate it as an eight, my spiritual well-being would be a five, and my psychological well-being would be a five.

I exercise 5-6 days a week, so I feel my physical well-being is almost a ten but there is always room for improvement. I could change up my routine to try something new, try new healthy foods, and to make stretching just as important as exercise. A physical goal I have is to try to work in yoga into my routine. I have been wanting to try hot yoga and there is a place that is right by my house.

I gave my spiritual well-being a five because I need to spend more time in prayer, reading my bible, and getting more involved in my church. My spiritual goal is to trade in reading Facebook and looking a Pinterest each night for reading my bible and prayer time. I have just signed up to start helping out in the nursery at and to be on the MOPS comity at my church, so that will help get me more involved in my church.

I gave my psychological goal a five because I do feel stressed out a majority of the time. I also struggle with anxiety and being hard on myself. My number one goal is to work on cutting out some of the busyness in our life. The first thing I am doing is to not feel obligated to do something every weekend with my friends. I feel that if I can cut our some of the busyness in my life I will feel less stress, which will help with my anxiety and help with me being so hard on myself.

I liked the exercise because it did make me feel relaxed and grounded. I do feel that I would have to do this exercise a few times to get the most out of it. I had a hard time really seeing the colors and trying to connect the colors with each area. I feel since there are different commands given that this relaxation exercise is hard to do for someone who is new at it. I would suggest that it be done several times to get the most out of it.

Exercise

I have finally had a chance to sit down and list to the exercise and wish I would of done it sooner. I really enjoyed the way I was able to release some of the tension I was carrying in my shoulders. Once I was able to start moving the blood from my core to my shoulders and hands I felt a sense of warmth especially in the palms of my hands. My shoulders continued to feel relaxed after the exercise was over and I felt so relaxed all over. I did not feel sleepy, but a sense of calm it helped me let go of some anxiety I was feeling through out my morning and afternoon.

I am looking forward to doing this exercise to focus on my hip pain that I am having from running. I feel a lot of tension sits in my hip and lower back on my right side, so I am going to try and focus the blood flow to that part of my body to see if that will help with the tension.
