I know with this whole new learning experience I have a long way to go. It's nice to learn about the things that modern medicine does not classify as conventional. I thing physiologically I have a lot to learn about letting things go. I think once I can really figure out both my physiological and spiritual well being my physical well being will get betting. Staying sick is not a fun part of life. I think as I learn to adopt ways of relaxation and meditation I can feel like I can manage myself better than I do now. My daughter pays attention to what I do with my homework this term, but she did ask if this would help with some of my anger issues. :( Ok! I'm a parent, what parent doesn't get mad with their kids when they don't listen or pull their weight with their chores?
I believe I enjoyed this relaxation sound bite. When I woke up about an hour late it was over and I still had my headphones on. I must have really been relaxed or tired so I am going to try it again. I did feel well rested when I got up the next day.
Hi Crystal,
ReplyDeleteAs a parent somtimes we do get angry, lose our tempers or feel really stressed out. My 4 year old daughter somtimes turns me into a person I do not even reconize. But a lot of times I just have to walk away from her and let her scream. What would you rate your self though on these aspects of well-being? I didn't notice your ratings. What do you feel you can improve on? Do you feel as I do there is always a way to be better? I too need to relisten to the sound bite, I must have dozed off during it! Good Luck to you Crystal
Hi Crystal,
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that you are human too. Our children know the right thing to say at just the right time and when to not do something we would like them to do. I am not sure how old your daughter is, but my is 24 and I am still dealing with it. But there is not a lot I can do at this point. I try really hard to ignor most of it if I can.
I am like Sara, I am interested in how you would rate yourself. I do feel like there is always room for improvement. For me, more on some days than others.
I like your blog page, very nice. Have a great week, Candii
Thanks for the post. The thing I like about this class is that it is really making me think outside the box and realize all the different things that I need to work on to achieve optimal wellness. I am glad to see that you realize what you need to work on. Once we recognize our flaws then it is easier to improve ourself. Great job and thanks for the post
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you related psychological, spiritual, and physical wellbeing as one and as soon as you understand one or two the others will follow. I think this is a great way to look at things especially if the understanding is not there yet. I never thought about any of these things before taking this course. I believe that improving ourselves is something we all want, just not something we all acheive. Do you feel like you are working on acheiving this?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

When it comes to kids, I totally understand. I am a parent and I too get frustrated at times. I am realizing at my age that it is time to take a slower pace to things. I feel that I am missing out on a lot of the good stuff and appreciating life because I am trying to do too much. I know we have to work, and school and family are very important. But I am also learning to enjoy moments throughout the day. Before I know it, life can be short or the kids will be gone out of the house and the loneliness will kick in. That is why I have learned to appreciate every moment in life.
ReplyDeleteI rate myself depending on the day. On my physical well being I rate myself anywhere from 4 to 9. I am not as young as I use to be and have been battling health problems for the past eight years. 4 is a really bad, don't want to get out of bed day. 9 is almost feeling perfect with not aches. My spiritual well being fluctuates constantly because of the environment I work in. I can go in with a 10 but leave feeling like I'm at a 3. Between employees and visitors that try to bring you down with their negative attitudes is tough. My psychological well being can be iffy. Between dealing with irrate parents of inmates, my schooling, negative co-workers, crazy house load, homeschooling my 12 year old special needs daughter, I feel like this one is permenantly stuck at a 3 if I don't do something about it now. I hope this class helps me with all of these.
