Unit 3

Take a moment to reflect on your own level of wellness; physically, psychologically, and spiritually, and then answer the following questions in your blog (journal).

1. Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal wellbeing), where do you rate your A-physical wellbeing, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?

Physical-5- I have put on weight since I have came back from active duty and I am currently working 2 jobs and do not have much time for exercise, but I do have some time to do things such as push ups or dips. Just not much. 

Spiritual-8,Spiritual Wellness is a personal matter involving values and beliefs that provide a purpose in our lives. While different individuals may have different views of what spiritualism is, it is generally considered to be the search for meaning and purpose in human existence, leading one to strive for a state of harmony with oneself and others while working to balance inner needs with the rest of the world. 

I know my purpose of life, to provide for my wife and daughter and to be the best possible.

  Psychological-5. Since coming off active duty my life has change very much. I thought that I was going to get my dream job but I did not. I thought that I would be in a better situation than I am currently but things are starting to turn around. I just got a new job and doing well in school. So I am hoping things will work out. 

Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).

Physical - To get back to the condition that I was in when I was AD. 

Spiritual - To remember why I am working for. To never forget how important family is. 

Psychological- To keep fighting and to never give up even when things don't go your way.

What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?

Physical - to get back into the gym and start eating healthier. 

Spiritual - spend time with my family and enjoy the moments that I have with them. 

Psychological- I think that I am currently working towards my goal. I think that exercise will also help with me and not being so stressed.

Once again I have difficulty listening to these exercises. I feel like I am going to a shrink with this. I have my own method to my madness and I can't listen to this person if I don't believe in them.
