Unit 3


My physical wellbeing would have to rate at a 7 on the scale. I am in pretty decent shape; however there is always room for improvement and I have had heart surgery. My spiritual wellbeing would rate at a 3. I do pray to god on a regular basis; however I do not go to church or any church functions really. My psychological wellbeing would rate at a 7 as well. I am pretty mentally sound, but stressful situations really affect me negatively. It is something I have been working on and there is always room for improvement.

My physical goal would have to be to eat a healthier diet due to having a family history of heart problems. A healthier diet with less sodium consumption will really help my body out. My spiritual goal would have to be to go to church once a month for a consecutive year. My psychological goal would be to incorporate distressing activities in to my daily life for a minimum of three days a week.

An exercise that will help me with the physical portion would be more cardio. Cardio is good heart training. My spiritual exercise would be meditation, while praying. It will give me time to clear my thoughts and focus on the spiritual side of things.my Psychological goal will be engage in yoga. Yoga is an physical exercise, but it is very calming and relaxing as well.

I think that this exercise would be more beneficial to me if I did not have a full plate. It was difficult to focus and not let my mind wonder.

Welcome Statement and Exercise Reflection


Hi Everyone,

I just want to welcome everyone to following my blog. This class seems very intriguing and I am excited to delve deeper into human flourishing and the power our minds truly have. See you on the blogs!

Looking back on the exercise, the sounds were very soothing. His voice was monotone which was very relaxing. It was difficult to become relaxed for about the first 30- 60 seconds. After that time period, I was able to really focus on his words and my breathing. My breathing was very important to focus on so that my body became relaxed. Overall, the exercise was really enlightening. I felt rejuvenated afterwards which was a plus.
