Optimal Wellbeing

It is always difficult to rate yourself and this exercise is not different.  I think my physical well being is a 7.5 because I try to workout throughout the week and take care of myself and am considered healthy.  I could always work out more often, harder, and lose a little bit of weight while really cracking down on my diet to improve my physical wellbeing.  My spiritual wellbeing would probably be a 5...right now I am just kind of confused as to where to go and what to do because as I get older I realize there are so many beliefs that have changed since I was a child and I cannot seem to group myself into one certain religion or organization until I know as much as I possibly can to make the right choice for myself.  I would say my psychological wellbeing is a 7.  I am generally happy and do not have too many mixed emotions, but I need to improve on how to express my anger and frustration.

My physical goal is to workout 6 times a week at least an hour each time and not eat as many sweets throughout the day. 
My spiritual goal is to find a religion or organization I can understand and relate to.
My psychological goal is to figure out the best way for me to express my anger and frustration.

For my physical goal I just need to go to the gym and find new classes or different exercises to really keep me excited about staying in shape.  During the day at work I need to make sure no bad snacks are around so I do not munch mindlessly.
For my spiritual goal I want to read books on all different religions and talk to people who belong to each and find which one suits me.
For my psychological goal I need to find out what really angers and frustrates me and try to avoid these things if possible, or try techniques like yoga, meditation, and exercise to deal with anger and frustration.

I have taken a few stress and relaxation classes where we listen to exercises.  The Crime of the Century was one I would not use again.  I tend to have a problem sitting still and not doing 5 things at a time so these exercises make me tense before I even get started.  The vizualizations and lights wee very odd and did not help me relax, going from one body part to another did not work either.  I did understand the goal creation portion and affirmations to go along with the goals, but overall the exercise was definitely not for me.

How I Am Following Everyone!

Well I used option 2 to follow my fellow classmates using the Reading List.  I have the hardest time with relaxation so any exercise I am just ready to run away from as fast as possible.  I think really calming myself might come better as I get older but right now I am very antsy and find it extremely difficult to relax...instead of using cd's or other instruments working out usually works the best for my relaxation.

Introduction to HW420

Hello Professor and fellow students in Creating Wellness.  Welcome to my blog...which previously has been just a little bit about what has happened in school and in life.  I am so excited to know that 2011 will be my graduation year and it could not come soon enough!  This degree sure has been a long time coming because I just could not decide what I really wanted to do in life (but then again some of us never really figure that out I guess).  I hope everyone does well in class and enjoys their time in school.  You can read more about me in my About Me section =)
