Reflections and Crime of the Century

Hello everyone!

With physical well being I would rate myself 8. The reason why I say an 8 is because of not having time to participate fully as I would like.   Right now with school, work and family I get minimum 3 times a week cardio and some resistance training.  Before I began school, I was active with more cardio along with maintaining a resistance routine.  A specific goal I need to have is to incorporate more physical resistance activity in my work out routines.  Also, a specific activity I can do is look out at the week I have in the beginning and plan around responsibilities. 

Spiritual well-being I have to go with a 2.  Spiritual well being is absolutely my biggest opportunity of the three areas.  The good news that I found during one of my terms is that maintaining a spiritual side does not necessarily mean I have to pursue a particular religion.  I am not ruling out religion at all, I just do not understand and feel comfortable with one yet. After the few weeks we have spent in this term, my goal has to be backtracking in finding out what I need to do to begin instilling spirituality in my life.  My activity will be to research and learn more on spirituality and what this means in one’s life.

My psychological well-being is under way!  I would have to rate myself at a 7.  I have to tell you that there was a point that I was completely lost in my life.  I had no idea what I wanted to do.  My job was and is still not satisfying.  I found physical activity that lead to nutrition that lead to me being here at Kaplan learning Health and Wellness.  Everything I am learning in the Health and Wellness curriculum is very applicable to managing my life and thoughts.  As a goal and activity, maximizing this part of optimal wellness I would leverage all that I am learning from my academic journey.  This is not only important for me, but being able to support those that I will come in contact with in the future as well.

Once I had gotten into the exercise, Crime of the Century I realized that I have heard this technique before. I just didn’t know the title.  What a great name to have on something that helps us!  I do not feel any frustration after going through and participating in the exercise but I am relaxed, maybe even dozed off a little.  It’s been a long day!
