Self Awareness and Relaxation Exercise

Self Awareness and Relaxation Exercise

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.

    I 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,

  2. Kelly,
    I 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!
