Balance between the mind, body, and spirit is key to
possessing an overall state of well-being. It has been quite a struggle for me
to maintain a healthy balance between the three. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would
currently rate my physical well-being at about a 5, spiritual well-being a 8, and
psychological well-being at 6. This is how the ratings stand currently, because
of me stepping into a new teaching position in which I am having to dedicate
much more time outside of the classroom environment to prepare. This has
actually increased my prayer and devotion time, but has decreased the time I dedicate
towards physical activity and exercise.
My goal to
aid increase my physical well-being is to walk one mile a day. Spiritually, I
would like to increase my prayer and Bible study time to an hour per day. Psychologically,
I would like to take 10-minute breaks per hour of work or study that include
deep-breathing techniques and stretching.
I am not quite sure why a relaxation exercise would be
entitled “The Crime of the Century”. Maybe because it couldn’t be legal to be
able to achieve that level of relaxation (lol). This exercise helped bring about a
greater awareness of the different aspects of my life, and helped me to assess
those areas one by one. Getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday
life, it is easy to forget that I am loved, because I am unbalanced (indigo). I
love colors and visuals, so that will help me to remember and the positive
affirmations associated with each region to keep an overall balance in body and
in each part of my life.
