Unit 3!

A - my physical wellbeing

I'd have to give my physical wellbeing a 7 right now. I used to feel very confident that I was a 10, because I was very active and ate nothing but good foods, but this summer I fell off the bandwagon a little and have definitely lost some physical health!

B - my spiritual wellbeing

This is a tough one. I'd love to give myself a 10, but the fact is, I haven't felt connected to anything spiritual in a while. I used to worship through dance and song by doing theatre at Christian Youth Theatre, but since I've stopped doing it, I've lost a lot of connection to my spirituality. All in all, I'd have to give myself a 5.

B - my psychological wellbeing

I would give myself a 7 or 8 as far as my psychological wellbeing is concerned. I'm usually very centered and self assured, and don't often have intense emotional outbreaks. However, I am human and don't always have it "together!"

My physical wellbeing goal: take a walk every single day this week!
My spiritual wellbeing goal: go to church next sunday with my hubby!
My psychological wellbeing goal: journal every morning this week!

To encourage myself to take a walk every day this week, I'm going to incorporate it into my job - nannying! I'll walk with my sweet little 11-month old Eloise while she's in her stroller.

To encourage myself to go to church next week, I'll spend tomorrow searching online for a church that fits our beliefs and attitude.

To encourage myself to journal every morning this week, I'll make a dedicated time out of it, including tea and biscuits!

My experience with the Crime of the Century relaxation exercise:

First of all, why on earth was it called that? Pretty sure "rainbow relaxation" sounds better and is MUCH more accurate. But hey, I don't make the rules.

I actually loved this relaxation exercise! It might be my favorite one so far.

I went into it thinking "Okay, let's just get this done with and blog about it, blah blah blah," but the moment I turned it on I found myself totally entrapped. My rambunctious little puppy faded from my sight and I truly found a few moments of total bliss.

I found my thoughts wandering to foods of each color - a bright red apple, a gorgeous yellow pepper, a violet eggplant. Maybe that means I'm just hungry, but I wonder - do these foods have anything to do with those quadrants of the body?

If you're more well-versed in this than I am, fill me in!

Happy blogging, y'all. :)
