Hi Professor and Class!

Current Self Evaluation:

I would rate my physical well being around an 8. I am healthy because I exercise regularly and I eat healthy foods. I would also give myself a 7 or 8 for my spiritual well being. I maintain my spiritual health daily through prayer, meditation, reading the Bible, going to church (this one is bi-weekly not daily), and having spiritual conversations with others.  I would give myself a 5 or 6 for psychological well being because I do have some issues where I do not perceive myself as those around me do. I suffer from mild depression and self doubt.  For any of these categories I would never give myself a 10 because I feel that there will always be room to grow as priorities and goals will shift and change in life.

Goals:

Physical: Increase my work outs (to 3 days strength training & 4 – 5 days cardio) to hit my weight loss goal of 10 pounds this term. This will be the grand finale in my weight loss journey (almost 65 lbs lost). It will also be a launching point in my career as a personal trainer because I will have my degree in health and wellness and I will be at my “ideal” weight.

Spiritual: Daily Quiet Time

Psychological: To feel more energy

Specific activities or exercise to move me toward each goal:

Physical: 3 days strength training & 4 – 5 days cardio

Spiritual: Read my Bible and Pray Daily

Psychological: Exercise 5-6 days per week, take my vitamins, and meditate

The Crime of the Century relaxation exercise:

            Why in the heck was this relaxation exercise called the Crime of the Century? Because of this title I kept waiting for something bad to happen or to be startled out of my meditation. However, with that said I really did like the exercise, it was very relaxing. I love how it takes you to a place of almost sleep, but then by the time it is over you really feel more awake and clear headed. What did you guys think of the exercise?
