So here goes:
Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?
Physical well being I would give an 8/10, I would say I am probably the most physically fit I have been in my life. At the time of my competition my body fat was 12.7% at 137lbs. I was pretty lean, post comp I have put a few lbs back on and my Bodyfat percent has increased to 15% this is due to a less stringent way of eating which has also equalled more strength when I am lifting in the gym and a faster pace when I run, so though I see room for improvement If I am honest and reasonable with myself, then where I am physically is pretty good.
Spiritual well being I would give a 7/10. My relationship with Christ is a continual journey and like all relationships I think that it ebbs and flows, not because Christ wavers, but because as a human I do. Christ has never left me, but I have wandered off at times and through gentle coaching been brought back. I will note that I could spend more time reading my Bible and in prayer, but I am making a concerted effort in this area by completing a daily devotional on my phone. Thankfully, God does not tally how many times I fail, but instead He rejoices every time I come back and in my desire to do better and just be with Him.
Psychological well being, I would say about 8.5/10 primarily because I am finally learning to talk about the things that bother me - let me tell you, this is FREEING and makes for a happier, healthier Tammy.
Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).
Physical - increased strength and muscle gain, as well as decreased mile time. To be completely comfortable with my physical appearance, realizing that it is just the outer and it will fade eventually. :)
Spiritual - Consistent devotional time and increased living it out.
Psychological - re- institute consistent journal writing.
What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
Physical: i'm not sure.
Spiritual: I think it really is just about being consistent.
Psychological: Journal writing.
My attempts at the relaxation exercise - I would say somewhat frustrating, though I did not today another reason that I am having problems with the exercise outside of having to work hard to relax is I do not want to give up control. Note it is a "guided" exercise. The proctor said, "I am going to guide your mind" and I noted that I do not want anyone guiding my mind anywhere, thus making the relaxation exercise difficult.
Lots of work points. - Have a fantastic week peeps! :)
