Well being (unit 3 blog)

1.            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?

Answer: I would scale myself 9 for being physical well being because I do physical activities five days a week and I don’t have any physical problems like neck pain, back pain or sleeping problems. I love exercise and I am perfectly healthy right now. I would give 8 for spiritual well being because I don’t take stress unless I am very overwhelmed. I do yoga everyday for 15 to 20 minutes to balance my life. I would give 7 for psychological well being because sometimes I get upset with my life and feel so down. I guess because I always try hard so much to achieve everything at the same time which is not good. So I need to be happy more and think positive that everything will be done when comes to right time.

2.           Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).

Answer: I don’t have any goal to myself of physical and spiritual well being since I am very satisfied right now but for psychological I need to make a goal.

3.           What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?

answer: For psychological well being, I need to love myself more and not to feel down so I try to love myself more and think positive. I will also try not to compare myself to others so that's way I won't think negative.

4.           Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. To hear this exercise, click here. Describe your experience. (What it beneficial? Frustrating? etc.)

Loving kindness (unit 4 blog)

I tried first time loving kindness practice. I think it is very beneficial. It was hard for me to do 15 minutes because I had lot of thoughts in my mind. Resting comfortably in your natural state of peace and ease, bring to mind an individual, someone close to you, who you hold with great love and tenderness. Allow these loving feelings to expand within your heart as if a faucet of loving kindness were being turned on. I really enjoyed these feelings and I would recommend this to my friends and family. I would love to do this practice at least twice a week. For me, Practicing loving kindness does not mean feeling love at the exclusion of any other emotions. Rather, it means calling upon loving kindness to enrobe all or the emotions inhabiting us in the present moment. Our emotions are shaped by our thoughts. If we retrain ourselves to substitute lovingly kind thoughts for our usual messages of self-hatred, over time, it is to be expected that our overall well-being will increase.

The concept of Mental Workout is trying hard to achieve total relaxation and relief of stress. It is requires lesser concentration as mediation to achieve its full effects. I do “bootcamp” classes in the morning; I considered that class as a mental workout. It’s really intense workout with relief your stress. I love doing it because it makes me feel good about myself. I became stronger by doing this workout. In mental workout, you begin with yourself. Breathe gently, and recite inwardly the following traditional phrases directed toward our own well being. You being with yourself, you trying hard to achieve your own goal. For this intense workout, you have to love yourself because without loving yourself it is almost impossible to love others.

Life is beautiful when you think positive

Life is beautiful when you think positive. Your thoughts are the most important asset you have in your desire to achieve your dreams. They affect you in ways you never thought possible. The truth is, whether you know it or not, your thoughts are responsible for whatever place or situation you are in right now. So just think positive and you can achieve whatever you want from your life.
