Unit 3

Hello all. I rate my overall well being at about a 6. However I rate my physical well- being as a 10. I rate my spiritual well- being as about a 6 and I rate my psychological well- being as a 8. The reason I rate my physical well-being as a 10 is because I am very physically fit. I exercise anywhere from 2-4 hours a day. I am opening a fitness studio because of how much I enjoy exercise and my physical well-being. I rate my spiritual well-being at a 6 is because I question a lot in spirituality. I come from a family where my mother is was Italian catholic and my father Jewish. I am raising my child to be Lutheran. I question all 3 religions and don't really know what to believe in spiritually. I believe that much of holistic and spiritual medicine works very well.  I rated my psychological well-being as an 8 because right now I am very stressed out. Being laid off and trying to make ends meet as a single mother makes things a little stressful. I've been doing a lot of "hustling" to make extra money (teaching all the fitness classes I possibly can) However normally I am pretty relaxed and don't stress out or get up tight about much. My nick name in my family is the bounce back kid. I usually am able to bonce back from just about anything. 

I think I can improve my spiritual well-being by relaxing and meditating however when I do this I just fall asleep so it is almost useless unless it is a day I am having trouble falling a sleep. As much as I exercise sleep comes to me pretty easy at the end of the day once I settle down and relax. My psychological well-being will increase as soon as unemployment and financial aid get their act together and send me the money I am suppose to have. LOL  My physical well-being can't be improved by much I am very healthy and very fit. However I am picking up more classes and starting to do more exercises and develop exercise programs for my new studio.

My goal in my spiritual well-being is to be able to meditate and connect with myself spiritually without falling asleep. LOL My goal for my psychological well-being is to make enough money so that I am not constantly wondering how the bills are going to get paid. My physical well-being goal is to be trained in more fitness classes so that I can teach more classes and teach my own private classes in my own studio.

I did listen to the meditation however I was not able to do it because I tried and started to doze off. If I would have fallen asleep I would not have been able to write this wonderful blog of mine. :-) However when I was younger and went to camp over night one of our camp councilors use to do something similar to us at the end of the day so that we would calm down at night and go to sleep. Mediation does not make me feel energized like the man says. Meditation makes me sleepy. Meditation is not very easy for a person with ADD. To have that much concentration and not move at all either A makes us sleepy or B makes our minds wander to something other than what the man is talking about. I have my daughter sitting next to me listening to it and she went right to sleep trying to do what the man said to do. Like mother like daughter I guess. My father meditates daily every morning before breakfast. I don't live with him but I think his day is off if he does not do this. He even does it on vacation. I have never known him to miss a day of meditation.
