unit 3

Blog discussion board......

1.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?

  A.) physical well being is a 7. I have health problems, and have pain daily.

  B.) spiritual well being is an 8. I am in tuch with a higher power and have a personal relationship with Him and am in touch with my spiritual being, but as usual, I am a bit of a procrastinator and have put off my daily meditation...

 C.) psychological well being is a 7. My psychological well being is in direct proprtion to my 12 step program and how well I am working it. With my busy schedule I also have gotten behind on my daily inventory of self.

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

     A.) my goal is to exercise more an dtalk to my doctor about pain management and having tests done to pinpoint the causes of my pain. B.) My goal is to do my daily meditation and to keep on my journey to enlightenment C.) My goal is to get to more AA meetings and read more of my AA literature.

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

  I need to increase my exercise level and my meditation level. I need to be on Facebook less and read actual books more. I need more time for reflection and relaxation. Graduating in Jan/Feb 2013 will help.

4. Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. 

    Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.

the rainbow exercise was ok. I didnt get into it much and was hard for me to imagine beams of color shooting out of me. My imagination isn't good and this would take more effort than it would be of help to me. But I do get the idea of cntering ourselves and inputting positive thoughts into our psyche.

unit 2 late work

I am really screwin this thing up classmates. I didn't realize I had work to do in this for our unit 2. I thought I just had to set  this up and post my url in the blog discussion board. Ok I am old and got one year older today.
 So I will need to go through and add everyones blog feeds, just read how to do that! LOL.
Any how, WELCOME to my blog. I will work hard to try to make it interesting and reflective and hopefully helpful in some respect.
 I listened and participated with the Journey on relaxation exercise. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I could feel the warmth and heaviness. Afterwards I tried it in my legs. I have vericose veins, the kind that make poor circulation in legs and causes pain especially at night. My legs feel cold and hurt! With this exercise I was able to warm my whole body and the pain subsided, mostly. It is a very exciting discovery for me and I wish I had learned this a few years ago. I do believe this will change my life as it will help me to sleep better and feel less fatigued. I am in shock that this actually worked! WOW, glad I took this class.

First time for everything

Hi welcome to my first blog, I have created this as an assignment for a college class. I am nervous about this, silly, I know!
