Considering my
own physical well being, I would have to say I am a 7. I remain fit and healthy based on my own
personal goals and my career. As a
personal trainer, I strive to be an example for my clients and those
individuals that I interact with as an instructor. I would have to say my spiritual well being,
on a scale of 1-10, would have to be a 4.
I am not very in tune to my beliefs, unfortunately. I think life’s obligations and
responsibilities have not yet given me the time or ability to place my focus in
that area. Psychologically speaking, I
would have to place myself at a 5. I
think I am equally in a calm state of mind and in an anxious/stressed mind
frame.
My physical well
being could use some work. I strive to be in the best shape for myself and for
my clients. I tend to be harder on
myself so I think my diet and exercise regimens could use some work. I hope to be a little stricter on my diet and
increase the intensity of my workouts.
Spiritually, I hope to focus more on what makes me who I am. I look forward to some down time in my life
after graduation so I can learn more about my beliefs and what connects my mind
and body. Reading and doing some soul
searching would be a good way to reach these goals. Psychologically, I would like to implement
meditation into my daily routine.
The Crime of the
Century relaxation exercise could have been beneficial; however, I did not
listen to it at a convenient time.
Unfortunately, I have a difficult time slowing down. My life is always on the go and my hectic
schedule prevents me from finding the time to utilize these relaxation methods
conveniently.
If I were in a
relaxed state, I think this exercise would be useful. The speaker’s voice was calming and he
provided a visual that would allow my mind to be clear and to focus solely on
what he was recommending.
Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you take care of yourself physically and psychologically as best as a person could who is equally relaxed and stressed out, and I would like to hear that you are trying to build your spirit up as well, because I believe in the Lord and small prayers really do help out and have make life better.
Nice post,

Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI think that it is great that you are a physical instructor! You have that going for you. You know what types of exercises to do and how to do them. Do you know a lot about eating healthy as well? I would love to have someone who could come into my home and help me with my menu and my exercises! Lol. I have to admit that I do not know much about how to eat healthy. Sure, the simple things but really I am lost. I cannot even afford a gym membership right now, nor do I have any idea when I would have time to go. I do exercise routines at home, and that I can manage better. Where I live though, I am about 20 minuets either way from a town where there is a gym.
I think that when you have more time when school is done, this will allow you focus more on you, but in my experience, I say when this is done I will do this and then it never happens. LOL. I am not sure about your schedule, but I have found that doing these exercises right before I go to bed has been a big help. I shut out the light, sit back and relax. Maybe if you could try squeezing them in then they would be a little easier for you. Just a thought. Good luck!
