My reflections : A-physical wellbeing 8. B-Spiritual well-being 9. C-psychological well-being 8.

Goal: A, My goal is to eat more fresh fruit and to increase my walking by a half mile. I walk 1, 1/5 miles a day except when it rains. The increase will help me lower my triglycerides, and the fresh fruit my cholesterol. I need to move those numbers downward by 25 points, and maintain my good cholesterol where it is at 49. I could accomplish this by taking a statin drug like lipitor but those drugs are bandaids and as soon as you stop them the problem returns , not to say that the side effects are worse than the problem. A lifestyle change is what is needed.

Goal: B, I feel comfortable and grounded in my spiritual life most times. My goal is to acknowledge his everpresence in my life and to thank him every day for the blessings he gives.

Goal: C, Psychological well-being I rated myself an 8: I find that my plate is too full, sometimes I wonder how I can accomplish all that I try to do. I feel stressed,and I become tired, and at times I want to stop. My goal is to meditate, ralax, and to use time management techniques to help me through. I work to jobs back to back, volunteer 2 evenings with the Boys and Girls club, and 1/2 day on Saturday morning with the elderly women I help. Then there is Kaplan and the course work. At times I feel overwhelmed.

Being more organized, using a things to do list, map out what free time I have and designate a portion of time to each daily. I loved that rainbow technique relaxation tape: I will use it. Imagery tends to work.

  1. Hi Sahron,

    I think you have some good goals to help improve your optimal wellbeing. I need to eat more fruit because fruit are good for you. Some of the goals you have set for yourself I can incorporate them into my life as well.
