The Mind-Body Connection

I think that I would rate my physical well-being at about a 6. While I am healthy, there are still things that I need to change about myself to achieve optimal health. Eating habits are my biggest crutch. I stay on the go a lot, so there is a lot of eating out involved in my routine. My spiritual well-being is at about an 8. I consider myself a fairly religious person, but there is always room for improvement. I will say that my faith is everything to me though. I would put my psychological well-being at about a 7. I tend to let the smallest things ruin my day, and I am really trying to change that. I also worry a lot about things I know I shouldn't at times. I guess that is where my spiritual and psychological well being ties together! As far as my goals in the physical well-being, I would like to lose about 25-30 pounds to make myself healthier. I would also like to become more active, it is just hard sometimes with my schedule. As far as a spiritual well-being, I would like to find an inner peace within myself to surround my faith. I would also like to become more involved in my church, if I can find the time. As far as a psychological goal goes, I would like to worry less and not let small things get to me. I think that has a lot to do with inner peace and spirituality. The relaxation exercise wasn't all that helpful unfortunately, because my mind was on too much: meeting deadlines, tomorrow’s workload, and other things.

  1. I completely understand about eating better being such a hard thing to do sometimes. Our schedule changes daily and sometimes we end up not getting home till late, so our diet suffers. I have found that planning way in advance helps out a lot. Though sometimes that doesn't even help, just getting in a routine of making plans to eat a healthy snack or make a healthy sandwich or salad to take with you, can be a small improvement. Sometimes the small things matter just as much and can eventually lead to big changes.
