Looking at my reflection on where I am today this is a deep question forcing me to step back and take a good look at myself. I do know that I am not where I want to be or think that I should be at. Stress is so powerful and difficult to throw away I think I need more and better skills on dealing with life's garbage.
My physical well being at this time I would think is a 6. I need to exercise more, eat better, and learn to relax more. There always seems to be something that has to be done. I am a giver and I give till I cannot give anymore and this can drain a person down to nothing. I guess I expect others to give a little to but when they are not on the same page you are how can they give they don't even think of it. Is it my fault by giving to much? Enabling them to relax and get ever thing done for them?
My spiritual well-being I am working on that also I would have to say a 7. I believe in a higher power and know that there is a life after life end here on the earth. I have been in a more spiritual place and hope to regain that once agian.
My psychological well-being is at a good state I would have to say a 8 which I feel is a good state. Logic and stability has been good with a focus on education and knowledge to better myself and help others.
I no longer have out ward ranges where every word is **** ***** and self control has risen. This is an important goal that I have mastered.
I will post again on my goals, and activities I can do to assist in moving forward oh ya and do the relaxing exercise.
Marina,
ReplyDeleteI like that you included gaining a higher education as part of what helps your psychological wellbeing. It makes me look at this aspect of life with a different perspective. I need to be able to recognize that while the homework of school can be a negative impact, the overall picture (graduation, degree, better career, etc.) should outweigh the one negative thing about it. Thank you for pointing that out ... def. makes me think about my wellbeing in a more positive light!
I also have the problem with giving even when sometimes I am giving way to much and in turn causing myself more stress. However, at the time of seeing how happy it can make others I know that the stress is worth it most of the time simply to make others lives better. Although, it would be nice if I could do this without wearing myself out also :). Overall, it sounds as though even though you may need to excercise and eat better you are pretty healthy. I think sometimes your emotional health is more important than your physical, because you have to be emotionally ready to get physically healthy. Great post, and good luck with your goals!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Marina
ReplyDeleteI too understand what stress can do to a person. The key thing about stress is trying not to let it get the best of you. This can be hard at times, but I found that doing things that brings happiness to my soul as a way to relieve stress out of my life, whether it be going for a walk, going to the movies and my favorite going for a jog on a pretty day. The main thing is to find that thing that brings you happiness and positivity in your life. I enjoy your post and I wish the best of luck to you.
