Unit 3: Blog Journal
Unit 3: Blog Journal
1) Based on your reflections, and on the scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal well-being), where do you rate your A-physical well-being, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why?
A-physical well-being. I rate myself as 7. I feel that I am not that really totally fit as I wanted to be. My muscles are not as toned as I wanted them to be. I can walk 2 miles everyday without feeling exhausted.
B-spiritual well-being. I rate myself as 8. I am a true believer of the Father Almighty. I feel that my faith helps me to go on and be strong even though I am far away from my loved ones especially my mother who is and always been my rock. I believe that clean mind and body, which is free from evil thoughts, helps me live everyday with fresh and contented.
C-psychological well- being. I rate myself as 8. I know that I am satisfied with my life at this point. No more rat race. I am in the stage of self- fulfillment and I am slowly reaching my goals. I am surrounded with tremendous support and love from both my family, very close few friends and a special person who had been giving encouragement and support. I am very satisfied at this point in my life. I rated it 8 instead of ten because, I can not rate it ten until I have fulfilled all my goals.
2. Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological)
a) physical- my goal will be to keep my body well toned before my birthday in October. I will continue to eat healthy foods, (i will e to eat small amount of rice that I love so much). I will lose 5 to 10 pounds in my abdominal area. Lower my cholesterol level 10-20 points.
b) spiritual- I will continue to attend to my spiritual obligations and responsibility. Improved my relationships to my staff and add more patience to my patients and their families.
c) psychological- I will continue to focus on my set short term goal, which is to finish my BSN this year. I will continue to improve my relationships with people around me, and serve as an inspiration to my nephews and nieces. I will continue to advance my profession for the betterment of myself and will serve as an example of a good leader and a manager to my staff.
3) What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
Discipline to me is the best exercise at this time. I have to keep a good time management to prevent me from falling behind with my schoolwork and my job and other responsibilities and chores. I slipped every now and then because of some unexpected circumstances but I manage to pull myself back and move on. I keep my walking every day after work to keep my mind and body a chance to recuperate and re-group as well as keep my mind clear and my body at peace and relax.
4).Complete the relaxation exercise and describe your experience.
The exercise was beneficial. It was the right timing for me. Today was very stressful at work, and listening to the exercise relaxes me. I think I dozed off a little bit. The gentleman's voice was so soothing. When he ask us to say" my body is calm and relax", I think I really did because I knew I dozed off a bit there. He was right when he said the I am going to feel energized because I did. I had the strength to face and do my school work. I think I will keep on using this exercise every day when I come home from work.
