Reflecting on my well-being

I enjoyed doing this exercise because it is not often I sit back and reflect on myself as a whole. When reflecting on my physical well-being I would say I give myself a 7. I am in good health and do what I can to improve my health through a good diet and exercise. I've given myself a 7 because I feel there is certainly room for improvement. I do try to follow a good diet but many times my busy schedule gets in the way of allowing for the time to prepare healthier meal for the entire day. I do find that if I do eat out I do consciously try to choose the better option but nonetheless preparing my own meals would be optimal. As far as exercise I find that I do stray away from my goal of 4-5 times a week. Again, this is usually due to my busy life and not putting aside enough time for myself. The goals I would like to set for myself in this aspect are simply allowing myself to put more time aside for preparing weekly meals and incorporating more exercise in my life. These goals are not only good for now but are good for the long run.
In rating my spiritual well-being I give myself a 6. I do believe I have much room for improvement in this aspect. I've let my spirituality falter over the years and feel that I need to get back to spirituality on some level. I don't believe being spiritual involves going to church on Sunday or joining some kind of organized religious group. I feel that being spiritual is being at peace with myself and a higher power as well as having faith. My goal is to create a better spiritual relationship with myself and to try and strengthen my faith.
In rating my psychological well-being I would give myself a 7. Again, there is room for improvement in this aspect of my life as well. I sometimes allow my busy life and work schedule cause me stress and make me a negative person at times. I find that when I'm stressed about situations I don't react well to others. A goal for myself in this aspect of my life would be to be able to take a step back and assess a situation before reacting to it. By giving myself some time to absorb a situation and think of the right way to approach it I can avoid many issues such as arguments or coming across too brass to others.
I did this weeks relaxation technique and found it was very helpful, especially where my psychological well-being is concerned. I helped me to relax my mind for a moment and my mind did not run in every direction.

Another term...

I'm so very excited about another term at Kaplan. Another term is just a step closer to completing school all together. I find the terms just fly by. This is my second experience with blogging. I had to do a weekly blog for another class and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately by schedule is so crazy I don't have the time to keep a personal blog on my own, which I would love to do. Sometimes you just need to vent to whomever might be listening. I think once things slow down a little bit having my own blog is certainly on my "to do" list. I look forward to reading everyone's blogs. I thinks it's a great way to get to know everyone.
