Well-Being

I've never really given much thought to rating my personal well-being, outside of the obvious feelings of stress or general sense of health. If I had to rate my level of physical well-being, I would say that it's at a 6 or a 7. I like to be active and everyone feels better when they are eating healthy. I'm just not as consistent as I would like to be with either. I can improve this rating by running 3-4 days/week and buying more fruits and vegetables to snack on, rather than delicious Cheez-Its. ;) Psychologically I would say I'm at a 7. I am pretty content with my life and don't feel overly stressed right now. However, I know that I could improve my state of mind by staying more focused and not procrastinating. This creates stress in my job and with my schoolwork when I fall behind. Spiritually, I guess I would have to say, again, that I'm at a 7. I know exactly what I believe and why I believe it. I know that I am going to Heaven when I die, so I am not afraid of that (as long as it doesn't hurt too much). I take comfort in the knowledge that God is in control no matter how bad things get and that He hasn't forgotten where I am. My life is not just going wherever the wind blows, He has a purpose for it. The one area I would set out to improve upon is my time spent reading my Bible and in prayer. Because without time spent, you cannot have a solid relationship with anyone, God included.

In regards to the relaxation recording, The Crime of the Century, I'll be honest in saying that I had a hard time focusing on all of the colors for the entire time. However, I do enjoy the calming effects that it had on me. I wouldn't say that I felt grounded, safe, or more self confident, but I was able to completely relax to the point of dozing off. And I have to echo several of my classmates and ask why it was called 'The Crime of the Century'?
