My well-being

Physical is a 6. I know what I need to do to be physically well. I have a hard time motivating myself to do so. I have a pretty good diet and have gotten back into exercising. I would estimate that within the next few weeks to months, if asked again I would give myself and 8 or a 9.


Spiritually I am an 8. I am not a religious person, but I have a great balance and outlook on life, which for my own life is how I define spirituality. To be this idea is about being open and honest, which I am to a fault.


Psychologically I am a 7. I told everything in not talking too often about what is on my mind. This is the area where I need the most work. I have been trying harder to let other people in and find positive ways to reduce my stress levels.


I think that as a goal I have to exercise more and eat a little better. In doing this I think the other areas, spiritual and psychological will improve. As with most of my plans the way for me to do this is to get my friends and family involved. By having the support of others I tend to have a much higher success rate.

Reflection on relaxation exercise

I have participated in a few of these types of activities over the years. I do find them completely relaxing and something that more people should enjoy. The autogenic training technique is a miracle, the ability to make one's body relax, just by thinking it. I will definitely try and utilize this practice throughout my day. Similar techniques are used in Yoga, using the mind and stretching to relax the body. I try and get to one class per week.

Welcome to my BLOG...

This is a new concept for me, one I have yet to decide if I like. I am not on facebook or any other website where I share information.

I do think that as health and wellness professionals we will need to network as much as possible to stay current with trends, so I am willing to give this a try...
