My Personal Wellbeing


My physical well-being I would have to say I rate it at 4 because I just had my baby boy 2 months ago and I am getting back into working out but I am starting off slow and I know I could be trying a lot harder. My physical wellbeing goal is to run a 5k Color run in the middle of August so I need to be up to at least a 7 or 8 by the end of July, so I am kick starting my work outs to two 30 minutes a day at home and I am hiking and doing outdoor fun on weekends with family and friends. I am actually off to Mt. Philip in Rome ME in a few hours with some friends!

My spiritual well-being I am not sure where to rate this one because I believe it goes hand and hand with psychological well-being, if one is off the other tends to be a little off balanced. I say I could be a little better in both topics so I give each a rating of 6. I give them 6's because I do my meditations and yoga in the AM to start my days off great with happy thoughts, but sometimes unhappy person will put me in a blah mood and I need to work on not letting other peoples unhappy mood frustrate me. My goal is to do yoga twice a day and maybe meditate during lunch break halfway through my day. Also to not let ungrateful people ruin my way of thinking.

I liked the relaxation exercise this week, I thought it would be hard to be creative and imagine colors and what not but it was quite easy and very helpful. I loved being able to see the colors so vividly in my mind. I did it with my son hanging out on my shoulder and he liked it so much it put him to sleep haha.

My Journey To My Happy Place!

Today was my first day back to work since I have had my son, so it has been about 2 months. I work at a school with children with behavioral issues and/or mental disabilities. I love my job but it was defiantly overwhelming coming back and leaving my son. With all that being said this journey to relaxation was very much needed today. It made me feel as if nothing could bring me down, I felt as if I was in another place and not in my living room. All I kept picturing was me swaying back and forth on a hammock in the summer breeze by a lake over looking the mountains. It was so serene and magical I did not want to open my eyes and have it end.
