Aspects of My Health

Hello everyone!

I would consider myself a relatively healthy person physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  I would consider my physical health to be a 7.  I could be physically healthier but I am pretty content with my physical health.  I used to be a 10 but that went away when I quit my weightlifting routine about 6 years ago; before that I was a monster.  My spiritual health would be at a 7.  I do not have much religion in my life but I am content with that; I do have questions about life that are yet to be answered but my life is not over yet, I still have time to figure it out.  I have an emotional health of about 9.  I can control my emotions pretty well and do not let them get the best of me.  I never really have any emotional problems but I could not give myself a 10 because there are days that I feel really run down mentally. 

I could help my physical health by simply  increasing my physical activity level every day.  I could be a lot more physical and in a lot better shape.  I have a goal of beginning a fitness program at a local fitness facility.  My spiritual health could be potentially better with more life experiences.  I also could explore some religion branches in this life to see if anything really fits with what I feel about this life.  I have a goal to go to church with my wife and see what she was raised to believe in the Catholic religion.  My emotional health could be better if I had less stress in my life.  This could be accomplished my lessening my load of tasks that I try to accomplish everyday.  I have a goal to take at least 30 minutes of time for myself everyday.  I need time to just relax and do my own thing.

The Crime of the Century was an OK exercise.  It is a real good example of how the human mind can help the body relax.  This is something that could be done really any time of the day when you are not doing anything else.  The rainbow part of the exercise was something that I have heard before.  The results were about the same.  It is amazing how a person can visualize different lights and feel the light pass over the body.  The only gripe I have about this exercise is the narrator, the same narrator as last week's exercise.  He is just annoying.  Thanks everyone for listening to me babble!

Reflection on "journey to relaxation"

Hello class.
I'm feeling pretty good right now!  The relaxation exercise was a pretty good time.  I have been pretty stressed out lately.  I have been working full time, school full time, starting a non-profit organization for research, and I just got married a week ago today.  I wish I would have had this exercise last week, not that I would have had much time to sit down and do it!  I enjoyed my time listening to this exercise but I do have one gripe about it; the narrator is kinda annoying.  It made it hard to stay on track.  I had to just listen to the message and disregard his voice to remain relaxed.  Overall the exercise did the trick but it could have been a better experience if the narrator was a bit more relaxing; it takes more than a slow and low voice to be relaxing, it also takes confidence and assertion.  Thanks class!
