My overall Health
In this unit we discuss the overall health of our own physical, spiritual and psychological being. I think overall my physical well being at a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being optimal. I think my physical well-being is a 7 because I am physically fit and very muscular but my weight exceeds what it should. I eat healthy most of the time and I do have my days where I eat a lot of unhealthy foods. My spiritual wee-being is at a 5 because I am aware of a higher power and my spiritual side but do not feel as though I am close to that side of my being. My psychological state is rated at an 8. I live a relatively stress free life and am very calm in stressful situations. I rated this an eight because I do stress sometimes though it is not for long periods. My goal in my physical being is to exercise more often then I do now and possibly get my weight down to a better range. My spiritual goal will be to get in touch with my spiritual side as I do not feel I am that spiritual. My psychological goal will be to maintain the levels of what I have been doing as I feel that I am doing a good job in this area. In order to accomplish my goals in my physical being I will go to the gym an extra time or two throughout the week and plan my meals so I will have structure into what I am eating. I plan to start trying meditation and maybe just getting to know myself better to accomplish reaching my goals on spirituality and to reach my psychological goals I will have to deal with stress and objects that may cause issues to ones mental health states the way that I have always dealt with it. The relaxation exercise was similar to the first one but for some reason I felt a little discomfort doing this exercise. I think it is because I am not in touch with my spiritual side like that so this exercise sort of proved that because it seems you have to be in touch with yourself to do it.

Hello Tyler,
ReplyDeleteI am truly impressed with your self discipline and zen attitude. I always have an elaborate plan for weight loss. I say that I will join the gym and start eating healthy. However, I am an emotional eater and when I am stressed and unhappy, I look for food to console myself. I used to get pretty upset and cry when someone said something inappropriate. I would think about it for days!! I must say that I am lot better with dealing with my feelings but I still need to work on that some more. The relaxation clip put me to sleep...I guess I should not have listened to it when I was tired. Oh well, maybe next time!! Thanks for your thoughts.

Hey Tyler,
DeleteI liked the way you described your optimal well beings, it seemed honest and hopeful. I do believe that your goals for your spiritual, physical and psychological health sounds very reachable for you and seems like a move in the right direction. I think that everyone falls into eating the wrong foods every now and then, it is very hard not with all the restaurants in town. I think that it is really great that you do not give into stress and have learned how to handle it when it comes your way. I strive to do that in my life, just sometimes it is hard to keep strong. I hope that you stick to your goals and hope to hear how they are helping to improve your physical, spiritual and psychological well being.

Tyler,
ReplyDeleteI think this weeks blog topic was indeed an interesting one due to the fact that it allows us to step outside of ourselves and be honest at how we view ourselves in order to improve the aspect of our lives that we are lacking in, thus provides us with an opportunity to set goals and improve ourselves as a whole. I think it is great that you realize the aspects of your life that are not as strong as the others, and set goals in order to improve, I look forward to seeing how you progress, and feel once you start to develop and strengthen within your physical, spiritual, and psychological well-being.
Hello Tyler,
ReplyDeleteI admire your approach to self-awareness and your honest assessment of yourself as a person. I just wanted to pass on something that helped me with meditation exercises, if I may. I have never been able to listen to one of those if there is a "guiding voice"; I find the voice distracting. I have experienced better relaxation listening to meditation exercises set to music, like Oriental or soft Native American flute music. Just a suggestion. Best of luck in the future!
