Hello everyone, how is everyones week?
For this blog I have listened to the relaxation exercise, and I have done this exercise before in another class. I still feel the same way as I did the last time I listened to this...a bit frustrated. I have a hard time thinking of my body as a colorful prism. I found myself thinking that my body was the candy skittles. Way too many colors he describes and he talks too much.
Based on my reflections on a scale of 1-10, my physical well-being is an 8. I think I could use a little more weight about 3 lbs and shape my tummy up a bit. My spiritual wellb-eing is a 5, I am not that much of a spiritual person, but when things are tough I tend to pray a little more. My psychological well-being bounces all over, on the weekends I am about a 7, during the work week I am at a 2, very stressed.
My goal is too lose those 3lbs and tighten up the abs. I really honestly can not make a goal for spiritual, and my goal is to find another job to improve my psychological well-being before I have a break down :)
I have to really think how I can implement activities and exercise to my life, I find myself so busy with other things that I don't really have any time.

Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI too had a hard time with the exercise. I am improving though, when I had the Stress-Critical Issues in Management & Prevention class I could not find any relaxation in any of the exercises. I think time and practice have been key for me. (I have to say self practice without the guy talking.) I understand the stress levels associated with work. For the past year we have been threatened with termination until we were sold off to another company. Now we have to wait and see what happens with the new company. I have had to make a choice to not let it bother me. I see how my co-workers are falling ill at an alarming rate all associated with the stress. I hope you can find some peace or a better and less stressful job. As for spiritual I just want to remind you that it does not have to be a religion. I find just being in nature is my spiritual connection to myself and the world. Good Luck!

Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteGood week dear. I hope all is well. I was reding your blog this week. I laughed out loud and I agree that the narrator talks "WAY" to much. It just kept going and going and going. I would have to completely agree that the drill was anything but relaxing. I thought for sure I was the only one that was going to have a hard time thinking of myself a huge peice of reflective glass and colors. Too Funny! I have concluded that this type of relaxation drill is not for me. I hope we have more like we had the first week in the following chapters. It was enjoyable and not a huge prism breakdown. ha ha ha. Have a great weeked.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am so confused about what we are supposed to be doing for these blogger posts. I lost about 40lbs in 3 or 4 months and I see that you want to lose 3lbs. Unfortunately, my situation is that I think I lost too much wight due to sress and indigestion. The best way for me to stay stress free now is stayng away from my ex lol!!!
Hi Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of a struggle with this weeks exercise but Think it had a lot to do with my kids. I have also been working on weight loss and think that exercise is a great way t deal with stress that we may be experiencing. How did you feel about the exercise from the last week? I think it was a bit simpler and easy to focus on.
