Thinking about my current health prognosis, I would rate my physical well being at a 5. I am rating my physical well being at a 5 because of health issues with fibromyalgia, arthritis and also I am still recovering from 3 surgeries over the past 3 years. My spiritual well being I would rate at a 7. I rated this higher because I still have much to learn about my spiritual self. Even though I still have a ways to go, I am in a much better place in my spiritual life than any other. I will say my psychological well being is around a 5. Because I have had to deal with so much stress over the last 4 years, from health, to my son's behavior issues, and just being pulled in so many different directions at once. It is difficult to relax and get the balance I need.
The goals I have for myself is to get my physical body stronger and healthy. Spiritually my goals are to continue to gain wisdom and revelation about who God is. Psychologically I need to get myself more balanced so that I can handle the stress of my everyday life.
Hopefully after I recover from this last surgery, I will be able to exercise more to strengthen those muscles I need to support my core and knees. Spiritually I plan to learn more about how to trust and hear from God. Psychologically my goal is to learn and actively participate in meditation. Hopefully this will be helpful in teaching my body and mind to be at peace.
While I was doing the mediation for this unit, I noticed that although I relaxed some, I was more distracted than before. My mind kept wandering off and I had to keep consciously trying to relax. I would say it was beneficial to an extent, because I was forced to slow down for the length of the exercise. Hopefully the next one will be even better for me.
Until next time have a great week!
You sound like you have a more leveled life than others, more leveled than mine. I scored myself much lower than you on several aspects of my life because there are times when I feel like I am a eyelash away from total chaos. I have been working hard over the last year to understand who I am again. I have found that being stressed not only changes our bodies it changes who we are at times. I realze that I am not the fun loving person I used to be when I was younger, and I am striving more and more each day to be that person again. Learning how to relax is very important not only to me but to others so that we can find some pleasure in this life. I think that getting closer to God in any situation has to be a good thing. Be strong my sister, we are in this together. We will make it..
