Unit 3- My wellness

1). In looking at myself from a physical standpoint, I would give myself a 8 on the physical well being scale. Since I engage in over an hour of physical activity a day, eat a vegan diet consisting of almost all raw fruits and vegetables, and have no major (or really even minor) health complications, I would give myself an 8. There is always room for improvement, so I think that I could one day be a 9, but I don't believe that 10 is possible. Like I said, there is always room for improvement. On the Spiritual Well Being Scale, I would give myself a 7. I still have a lot of work to do in this area, but I make an effort to be conscious of all of my words and actions, every minute of every day. Sometimes I slip back into my subconscious habits, but when I catch myself, I focus on my breathing and try to keep my mind clear. The best moments of inspiration and insight have come to me as a result of practicing stillness of the mind. On the Psychological Well Being Scale, I would give myself a 6. Sometimes I am not as happy as I would like to be, and I understand that this is the case because of me. I am trying very hard to let go of the presumption that others provide me with happiness, and the more self work I do, the more I understand that this is not the case.

2). Physical Well Being Goal: Keep doing what I am doing, and don't slack on the diet. It..is..so..hard..keeping to this diet. I feel great as a result, but I live in a house of people who eat totally opposite of me. Staying on track can be trying at times.
Spiritual Well Being Goal: Meditate more, keep reading, using my now favorite audio books and keep expanding my imagination and creative potential.
Psychological Well Being Goal: Do more self work. Keep the things I have realized about myself in mind as much as possible. Stop relying on others for my sense of security and happiness. Understand for myself that truly, freedom and happiness is within.

3). I think to further my goals, I should go back to yoga. I loved it when I went, but my gym changed the day and time, and it threw me all off. The teacher was great and made it very easy for a newcomer like me being the only guy in the class to feel welcome. It would do me some good to return.

4). I liked this exercise. Towards the end, I really enjoyed the whole chakra meditation/ visualization portion. I know a lot of people don't believe in chakras and put them in that whole New Age category, but recently I have seen several videos that proved the existence of these electromagnetic centers in our bodies that are in the same areas that are being discussed in this audio. As I have said in the DB, the imagination is the most powerful thing in this universe, and using it in creative ways with the intent on improving your health does in fact work (well for me it does). Thanks for reading. Peace.
