My wellbieng is frequently on my mind. The choices I make, my actions, my leisure time and so on. If I could rate my physical wellbeing on a scale of 1:10, I would choose a 7 currently. I eat well, I could be considered even over nourished. I love food, and I consider myself a moderately healthy eater, however, I do not discriminate as much as I should. I still love fast food and sweets (in moderation of course) My physical activity is also moderate. I work in a four story hospital in which I have to be very dynamic with my location. I walk my dog when the weather is nice, less than 100 degrees at 6PM. A girl has to have her limits. My spiritual wellbeing is a 9. I don't beat to the same drum when it comes to spirituality however, I am a very faithful person and am confident in my spirituality. Psychological well being fluctuates greatly. Today I am an 8, a little stressed about my deadlines, but mentally in a good place. A few days ago when hell broke loose within the family I was a 4, grasping at all the shreds of self control I could find. I am an emotional being and I have learned to embrace my dark as well as my light because it helps me stay balanced.
My physical goal is to maintain a yoga practice at least 3 times a week
My spiritual goal is to continue to practice my daily mantras as well as implement ones suitable for my family.
My psychological goal...hehehe... I want to improve my vocal ability to say no, I don't agree or I wont do it. I want to learn how to prevent people from walking all over me.
I love to do yoga, but my husband has expressed interest in Tai Chi. We have been talking about a practice together and I will be open.
I liked The Crime of the Century. It is a chakra opener! How fabulous! Of all things I have felt that I needed, this was it. I am a level 1 Reiki student, and I know how to do this for myself, but haven't done it for a while. I am stuck shut in my heart chakra, and will need to work on this one. I have love and feel love, but am also guarded. This has been helpful because I am able to tune in and even fine tune areas I have identified for my well being

Unit 2
Welcome to my blog, friends!
This is my first posting on a blog and it sounds like it will be similar to the discussion boards we have in class. I hope everyone had a nice Fathers day weekend. We did, I had relatives over for a cookout and desserts. The time flew by, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I am taking 3 classes at Kaplan this term, so I feel the time management crunch when too many things get crammed into the weekend. I must say that in order to have that harmonious balance, I need to find a better system of personal time management.
Reflection.
Listening to the relaxation exercise assigned to us was a very pleasant experience and came at a good time. I usually dedicate my Mondays to homework, this A.M. I was able to sit outside and read. The morning was beautiful, birds were chirping, my cats and dog were out playing and chasing the birds. I had a delightful bowl of juicy dark cherries. It was nice until the shade was consumed by the hot Arizona sunshine and was almost instantly too hot. I decided to go inside, throw in a load of laundry, and start on another assignment. Later on, my son arrived for a pop in visit with his laundry. Once mine was done he put his in and left for some errands. I was able to listen to the relaxation exercise. The music was soft, the instructors voice set an adequate setting for the proprioception activity. I remember the point of saying to myself, "I am energized" feeling great then I was asked to become aware of my surroundings. That's when I heard it, the washing machine was bouncing. I was still in relax mode, so the issue at hand was not the urgency that it usually is. I assessed the situation, no flooding, the machine was just imbalanced, no sweat. I fixed it and went on with the day. Handling the issue was much easier after this exercise. Now, the quest is to tap into this mode any time necessary. Do you think it can be done?
