This
week my blog is going to focus on my questions from my Health and Wellness
class.
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?
I
believe that your physical wellbeing as well as your spiritual and
psychological well-being can change from week to week and maybe even day to day
depending on what is occurring in your life at that time. Currently I am sick
and for the last week I have missed my fitness class so this week I would say
that my physical well-being is struggling and I would rate it at a 6. I went
from going to 5 workout classes a week and feeling overall very well to none
and that is a really big decline in my life. This affects how I feel, and even
how I start my days off.
Spiritually I feel that I am at a 7.
Psychologically I currently feel like I am at an 8. With being sick there is a
decrease in concentration as well as a need for extra sleep that is not always
possible with a busy life that doesn’t have time for illness to happen. This
not only puts a strain on my body physically, but also emotionally and psychologically.
I am a person that truly enjoys my profession and what I do, and I take pride
in my career so when I become ill and I am not feeling 100% it really affects
all aspect of my life.
Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical,
spiritual, psychological).
Currently
my physical goal is to become healthy. When I am healthy I focus on weight loss
as well as becoming physically fit. In order to become healthy I am trying to
go to bed earlier in order to get adequate rest, I am drinking lots of water as
well as washing my hands frequently and disinfecting surfaces that I come into
contact with. When I am healthy and focused on weight loss and becoming
physically fit I attend fitness class 5 times weekly as well as monitoring caloric
consumption.
Spiritually
I keep myself healthy by embracing my religion as well as beliefs and by living
by those beliefs. My current goal for my spirituality is to find a church to
attend. My daughter and I had been going
to a church that we really enjoyed and then ended up in a place where we need
to find a new church. It is really hard to find a new church to attend when you
were happy at the church that you had just been going to.
Psychologically I really feel like I am at a
good place when I am able to keep myself free from physical illness. My goal
psychologically is to work towards a better focus while I am ill. I have a very
good network of friends and family who love me tremendously and give me love
and support. I am able to express myself freely and seek encouragement from
them. I have a career that I thoroughly enjoy and work for a clinic I truly
enjoy. The doctor I work for is phenomenal and I learn so much from him I truly
feel that I am in a great place and am thankful for that feeling every day.
What activities or exercise can you implement in your life
to assist in moving toward each goal?
In
order to reach the goals I have developed in my life I plan on continuing on
the path of growth and development that I am on. I plan on approaching my life
in a holistic manor and to learn to truly take care of myself in all areas of
my life.
