Question 1:
Physical Well-Being: Rated 9
I would consider myself to be a pretty active person. I work out six days a week, with one rest day. My workouts consist of weight lifting and cardiovascular exercise. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate my level of physical well-being a nine. I gave myself a nine because I feel like I will always have room to improve. My physical well-being is by no means perfect. There is always a aspect of my body that I could improve upon. I try to eat healthy and drink plenty of water, but I do splurge on occasion - especially on Sunday (Football food is a must!).
Spiritual Well-Being: Rated 7
I am a Christian man. I grew up in a strong Christian household. My family went to church every Sunday and I participated in the local youth groups. My faith kept me safe through five deployments over seas. It was with me as I watched my love ones die, and as my baby boy was born. My God gave me my beautiful wife and the great challenge of raising our son. I do not think that my spiritual walk is perfect because I am not a perfect person. I do try to live by example and to learn from my mistakes. I rated myself a seven because I feel like I have more room to grow on my spiritual journey.
Psychological Well-Being: Rated 9
I am a stable person. I have a very positive and stable home life. I rated myself nine out of ten because I tend to worry about finances and about my families future.
Question 2:
Physical Well-Being Goal: My goal in this area is to loose five pounds in one month.
Spiritual Well-Being Goal: To read the Bible on a consistent basis.
Psychological Well-Being Goal: To worry less about money.
Question 3:
Physical Well-Being Steps: In order to achieve this goal, I need to lengthen my cardio time and raise my intensity level.
Spiritual Well-Being Steps: In order to achieve this goal, I need to pick up my Bible instead of the remote.
Psychological Well-Being Goal: In order to achieve this goal, I could talk with a financial planner.
Question 4: The Crime of the Century
I found this exercise to be very relaxing and very interesting. The use of color imagery made me feel grounded and balanced. The exercise helped me clear my mind. At the end of the lesson, I felt more empowered and energized.

Aaron,
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck on your goal of weight loss. It seems like you are a very grounded and realistic individual. I think you have set an appropriate goal for yourself which will be very much attainable. I find it interesting when reading different postings concerning the exercise how we all interpret it. You seemed to like it whereas I found the visualization of the colors to be annoying. Good luck to you on your goals.
It's smart to always put yourself below the best for a rating if you feel there is always room to improve. I think I'm the same way, Aaron. However, can we reach optimum health if we always feel we need to improve on something? I'm curious...
ReplyDeleteHi Aaron,
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a very well rounded individual with intuitive goals to pursue. My psychological well being seems so frayed lately with life's stresses and problems, I admire your confidence. I'm not a total basket case though because my own spiritual growth keeps me well grounded with stability. May I make a suggestion for one of your goals? Perhaps you can designate a special area in your home for your bible reading sessions and schedule a time frame for it? It may be easier to devote some time to it if you have a regular schedule and just think of it as personal time towards spiritual growth. I know for me, my life would not be as fulfilling without that personal time for prayers. Divine intervention has been incorporated into my life at times when I thought conflicts was at the highest level of severity; I would never have gotten through the tough times without that personal time that I make for praying. Overall, I like the goals you have for yourself and I wish you well on achieving them.
I really could not relax into this excercise. By I'm going to try it again later. You have set up some very realistic goals. I wish you well on achieving them.
