My optimal wellbeing has a lot to be worked on at the moment. I would rate aspects of my life as below:
A. Physical Wellbeing – Rating 7
B. Spiritual Wellbeing – Rating 8
C. Psychological Wellbeing – Rating 6
Unfortunately, the past 2 – 3 years have been full of stress, some family related, some financial and some job related. It is my ultimate goal to bring all of these aspects of my life back to normal or back in balance. I’m sure that by scheduling more “me” time, finding my “go to stress relieving strategy”, and incorporating more exercise in my life, I will progress toward reaching my goal.
The relaxation exercise for this unit was both effective and frustrating. In total honesty, I had to do this exercise three times! During my first attempt , all of the deep breathing relaxed me so much I fell asleep while listening to the exercise. I didn’t make it past visualizing the color Orange. (LOL). My second attempt, ended pretty much the same way, except I think I made it to the color Aqua? The third time, I just listened to it instead of trying all the breathing and visualization. This exercise required a lot from my mind. It was difficult to breathe, visualize little windows, then colors and say the affirmations that went with each color. I need something a bit simpler, I would never remember each color and what they represent. (Yawn – and yes, with the third attempt I’m sleepy but I made it through the whole exercise this time). ;-)
