Week 3

Hello All,

On a scale of 1-10 my physical well being would be an 8 because I feel like I need to lose a couple of pounds and I need to work on becoming more toned and physically fit. I would rate my spiritual well being 8.5 because I've come a long way but I still have some things I need to work on. My psychological well being would be a 9 because I feel as though I have a strong mind and I have endured a lot in my lifetime but I haven't allowed those circumstances to change me as a person. My goal, as I stated above, is to lose approximately 10 pounds, visit church more regularly, and continue to focus on things that are important and look at the brighter side of things.

To be honest, the relaxation exercise for this week was not as relaxing as last weeks in my opinion. This is probably due to the fact that I had a few interruptions but I just couldn't get into the colors. Although, I did feel a sense of being grounded with regard to red. Can anyone else relate?

Thanks,
Katrice

Hello everyone. Welcome to my blog. The exercise we had to complete for this unit was very relaxing. I was in a state of trance. I actually fell asleep for a moment. I think I will use this exercise to help me go to sleep at night instead of taking the occasional Benadryl which can be harmful to the kidneys with prolonged use. I previously taken a stress management class and the professor would engage this type of exercise at the beginning of class which I thought was very backward because everyone was overly relaxed throughout the duration of the class.The narrators voice played a huge part in relaxing my mind as well. Not everyone has the voice for this type of exercise. All in all I really enjoyed it and I hope we have many more like it.
