Unit 3 Learning Space questions

1.        Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?
In reviewing my health and wellness, I would rate myself the following: 
A.   Physical well-being is a 8.  I am strong and in good health.  I do have high cholesterol and lately my joints have been a little stiff.  I try and eat healthy and exercise.  I am not overweight, do not drink and I have never smoked.
B.   Spiritual well-being:  I was raised Catholic and have a strong faith in God.  I believe in the power of prayer.  At this time in my life I have a interest in knowing more, so I will rate myself a 8. 
C.   Psychological well-being:  I am strong minded and secure.  I am easy going to a point.  I can stand up for myself.  I cry when I am happy and I cry when I am sad.  I used to be such a perfectionist, but as I have gotten older, I don’t worry about the little things as much.  I rate myself an 8. 
2.        Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
A.    Physical goal would be to find time each day to exercise 30 minutes to one hour on a consistent basis. 
B.   Spiritual goal would be to open the Bible and start reading it.
C.   Psychological:  Take time for myself to sit quiet and meditate. 
3.        What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
The activities could be exercise, yoga, meditation and prayer.

  1. Barb,
    I can relate to your blog. I also am of good weight, never smoked and do not drink. However, I would like to be more fit and I also have the goal of 30 minutes per day. Maybe during this class we could ask each other on seminar if we exercised for the week? :-)

    I also have a strong faith in God and just need to open my Bible and read and also read to my children.

    I did like the relaxation exercise for this week and would like to use that a few times this week to help wind down and clear my mind, maybe even before I read my Bible.

    Great blog! See you Wednesday for seminar.

  2. WoW! 8 in each category? You are a very balanced individual. My faith is very important to me. Reading the bible is a good goal. I should do that too. 30 minutes a day sounds like a good physical goal. My numbers of 3, 7,and 2 sound so small after looking at your 8, 8, 8. Maybe if I stick to my goals, I can become as balanced as you are. See you in seminar!
