wellbeing

This blog assignment made me actually stop and think about my overall wellbeing.  I would have to rate my physical wellbeing as a six.  I am in decent health, I suffer from migraines and always have, and I also have some digestive/intestinal issues that the doctors can’t really seem to figure out.  I don’t exercise as much as I should and I am in my mid-20s, so I obviously don’t live the ideal “healthy lifestyle”.  I would rate my spiritual wellbeing as an eight.  When it comes to my belief system I know what I believe to be right and wrong and I am always one to stand up for and stick by my beliefs, no matter what anyone else says or thinks.  I would rate my psychological wellbeing as a seven.  I tend to be one of those people that can, “get inside my own head”.  My biggest critic as always been myself, and at times I tend to be too hard on myself.  A goal I would make for my physical wellbeing would definitely be to start working out more and eating better (my diet has always been horrible).  The best way for me to go about reaching this goal is to make a realistic exercise schedule and stick to it.  A goal for my spiritual wellbeing would be to believe more.  In order to achieve this goal I would need to develop a deeper understanding of what it is that I actually believe in.  A goal for my psychological wellbeing would be to develop more self confidence in myself.  I am actually already working towards this goal and have been talking with a good friend of mine to see myself in a better light. 

I tend to find a lot of relaxation exercises frustrating because it is so hard for me personally to relax.  I tend to have trouble letting myself let go of all of the stressors and worries in my life.  I can see how this would be a great relaxation exercise and technique; however, I had a lot of trouble letting myself relax due to the amount of stress in my life at the moment.
