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?
If I had to rate my physical well being right now it would be at a 5, the half way point between 1 and 10. Because I am in the Navy we have no choice to stay fit, well we do, but its not beneficial when it comes to our physical readiness test every six months. So for me I try to stay up on my physical readiness and it I notice when I do I feel great, I dont feel fatigued, or fat. However when I dont, its not the greatest feeling I feel sluggish and although i try to eat healthy it doesnt give me the overall feeling like when I combine the two.
As for my spiritual well being, I would rate myself as maybe a 4. Spiritual wellbeing is a practice; a way of being that defines and keeps track of one’s own journey to discovery of oneself, and oneself in creation. It can be practiced in numerous ways, with its main purpose being to find purpose and meaning in ones life. For me I dont believe that I have mastered all three the physical, mental and emotional together as one. I have not come to the point where I have found my purpose and meaning in my life. I do however, try to treat everyone and everything the same way I want to be treated. Sometimes I fall and find that I hurt people with things I say and do but then this is why i rate myself at a four because I know that I need help and assistance in getting to 10.
My psychological well being is at a 2, I say this because this class is teaching me just what all three of these well beings are. So I never took the time to see where I stand with either of them until now and I just dont think that I am where I need to be in my psychological well being, but I do hope by the end of the class that I have the tools I need to be at a 10 in all three areas.
After listening to the Crime of the Century exercise -
If I had to look at my personal development, I noticed that there are times when I get into my moods, I dont know if it is depression or sadness but when I am in this mood I just want to be left alone and to do this I tend to block everyone out and just keep to myself, and I disconnect myself from everyone. It is horrible yes I know and it too has an effect on my health because I too tend to eat the worst things for me. This is so different from when I am feeling those feelings of happiness because at those times I want to be connected and when I am connected I feel balanced and happy. Its strange but I want to learn how to remain in this state of being balanced which helps me to be happy. After the exercise and being able to see and feel the different colors it was again an eye opening experience. Just to allow your body to feel the different areas and colors again another tool that I will be using.
