Unit 3 Goal Setting

Hello again. Well, this week we are talking about optimal well-being and goals. I would have to say that when it comes to my physical well-being I would rate it an six on a scale from one to ten. Although I do not struggle with weight issues on a regular basis, I have recently experienced some weight gain. I believe that the reason for my sudden weight gain is because after 20+ years of smoking, I finally quit. I have decided to start walking regularly in my neighborhood to help lose the extra weight I have accumulated and prevent more from adding to the problem. As far as spiritual well-being, this is an area that has been seriously neglected. I would say it is probably a two on the scale from one to ten. I do not put much effort into this aspect of life. The only way I know to work on this and attain my goal of becoming spiritually satisfied is to start by going back to church on a regular basis. It has been close to 15 years since I have gone to church regularly. My goal is to return to church and continue to go. My psychological well-being is about a five on the scale from one to ten. I would say that there is definitely room for improvement. The relaxation exercises we have been learning have really helped. My goal is to try other relaxation exercises and find the ones that I find most helpful and implement them on a regular basis. The relaxation exercise for this week (The Crime of the Century) was nice. I think I liked this one better than the last.
