unit 3 blog
1. I rate my physical wellbeing at a 7 because I think my physical state right now is fine. I am contantly on the move during my day and I have been an athlete my whole life. I do train athletes now so I like to think that I am physically active. I rate my spitual well-being at a 5 because I do not think I am connected to my spiritual sense much. I think to much about what people think about me and I do not know how to look to the brighter things in life, I take a lot of negative in. I rate my psycholgical well-being at a 5 as well for the same reasons, I do not think that I am strong enough in my mind that I can be succesful. I feel a lot of people think I can not make it in life.
2. My goal for physical wellbeing is to be more active, try to really focus on making better decisions when being active and eating good. The goal I choose for spiritual wellbeing is to try to connect to myself. Try to relax myself and remember that as long as I have me, I am ok. My last goal for my psychological wellbeing is to beleive in myself. Once I do that I am capable of anything.
3. I think I will have to use this blog as a way to help me towards my goals. Another thing that helps me is when I have someone to do it with. I have a friend who wants to change her life style and her active status as well so she can help push me to stick to it and vice versa.
4. The relaxation exercise is very calming, the only thing that makes it too calming is that at this moment I am very tired as it is, doing a relaxation exercise almost put me to sleep. But I guess that is a good thing in a way because it really shows how much I relaxed. I have been very stressed latley and I could use more time to myself to relax.

Hi Nicole! Thanks for sharing with me. I think, often, we are driven to consider and to be conscious of what others think of us. However, I think that perhaps our self-perception is often askew. So, then, what we believe people are thinking of us is not necessarily so. Also, it is important to remember that when people think negatively about others or react negatively to others, it is usually based on their own perceptions and beliefs. There is no standards on simply being yourself. I find when I am surrounded my negativity, it is best to simply leave the situation. If that is not possible, I sometimes imagine a sort of defense shield around me where all the negative bounces of me, and only positive permeates. I once sat beside someone in a college math class that only ever talked negative, about others, about his own situation, about the class, whatever. I would always find a positive, or another way to see things, or try to consider other points of view. He would continue with negativity. That is when I came up with the shield and moved seats. I find that I find more positive when I am helping others. Perhaps you might consider finding time to volunteer in your community. You can do something simple like collecting cans for a food drive or something like helping someone learn to read. The United Way has many programs all over the country. I wish you all the best.
