Hello,
This week I will be addressing the questions asked by my instructor. This includes rating my level of physical well-being, spiritual well-being, and psychological well-being. In areas that I find myself lacking I am to develop a plan help improve.
Spiritually and psychologically I would say that I at least an eight. I am a well rounded and balanced person whose joy is not dependant on the opinions or existence of another, yet I am able to find joy with and in other people. I am honest about any of my short comings, I can take harsh criticism and I don’t hesitate to give an honest opinion when asked. Sometimes my friends say I am a bit harsh, but I don’t believe that. There are times that the truth is the best way to help; it is just how you deliver it. You can always offer a friend a peppermint instead of saying that their breath was bad.
Now psychically, I have to say that I am about 7. I’m at a good weight, I don’t have any major illness, but I do suffer greatly from allergies and lately respiratory infections due to a mold infection I contracted a few years ago. Honestly my doctor treated me for everything else, and a resident from New Orleans (NO) told me that I sounded like her father who had returned to NO, and contracted a mold infection. That’s when I remembered that I had gotten sick while I was visiting a friend in NO and I could smell the mold spores in the air.
For my spiritual and psychological well-being I continue to read/study the Bible, meditate, and listen to relaxation tapes. I also get one or two massages a month to pamper myself. I have started a new walking and swim program with the local YMCA and do deep breathing exercises several times a day. I will be listening to a new exercise: The Crime of the Century. My next blog will address that.

Way to go Teal!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you are on the path and living the dream (all except the getting sick part). Best wishes on that. I have no idea what sort of health issues I have developed over the years do to surface mold growing in my bedroom (my dad just thought I was exaggerating and he thinks I'm a hypochondriac,....not even close to being one lol). I too have started going to work out regularly. just some days we need a little more motivation than other eh?

Teal,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that you can take criticism. That is one of my weaknesses. I hate criticism. My husband says there is no such thing as constructive criticism that all criticism is destructive. I started to write that some criticism may be helpful but after I thought about it I could not really come up with any beneficial criticism examples. It does seem to be destructive to me as well.
